Abstract
Objective: To evaluate radiological characteristics of the temporomandibular joint.
Methods: Retrospective study of images of 20-80 year-old patients. Two independent clinicians analyzed the images, and a radiological score was obtained, considering sclerosis, osteophites, cysts, and erosion.
Results: Seventy eight percent of the joints belonged to females. The main complaints were pain and headache (54.5%) and reduced motion (21.2%). The most common diagnoses were disc dislocation with reduction (35.9%), myofascial pain (20.7%), and osteoarthritis (15.2%). The majority of the joints (96.5%) showed degeneration, with an average radiological score of 3.86 ± 1.47 (0-8). Non-parametric tests showed that females had significantly higher radiological scores (p = 0.014), and TMD-joint patients had higher scores than TMD-muscle patients (p = 0.013). No statistically significant association between radiological scores and chief complaint.
Conclusion: There were differences among the radiological findings between genders and joint/ muscle TMD, as well as across diagnoses, as expected.
期刊介绍:
CRANIO: The Journal of Craniomandibular & Sleep Practice is the oldest and largest journal in the world devoted to temporomandibular disorders, and now also includes articles on all aspects of sleep medicine. The Journal is multidisciplinary in its scope, with editorial board members from all areas of medicine and dentistry, including general dentists, oral surgeons, orthopaedists, radiologists, chiropractors, professors and behavioural scientists, physical therapists, acupuncturists, osteopathic and ear, nose and throat physicians.
CRANIO publishes commendable works from outstanding researchers and clinicians in their respective fields. The multidisciplinary format allows individuals practicing with a TMD emphasis to stay abreast of related disciplines, as each issue presents multiple topics from overlapping areas of interest.
CRANIO''s current readership (thousands) is comprised primarily of dentists; however, many physicians, physical therapists, chiropractors, osteopathic physicians and other related specialists subscribe and contribute to the Journal.
