Temporomandibular joint arthrography

Abstract

The stress and occlusion disturbance are very important etiologic factors in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ)pain dysfunction syndromes. Authors performed TMJ arthrograms in the patients with TMJ problems such as pain, click sound, limited motion and locking, etc. The following resutls noted: 1. The arthrographic findings of 22TMJs were analyzed. a) Normal:6 cases b) Anterior disc displacement with reduction: 6 cases . Early reduction:2cases . Intermediate reduction: 3 cases. Late reduction: 1 case c) Anterior disc displacement without reduction:6 cases . Two cases had adhesion between the psoterior portion of disc and the posterior surfaces of the articulareminence. 2. Among 22 cases, the clinical findings of cases(73%) were compatible with arthrographic findings. 6cases showed disparity between them.
