Morphologic characteristics of temporomandibular joint on the patients with anterior disc displacement without osteoarthritis: a case-based research

We investigated the effect of anterior disc displacement without osteoarthritis (ADDwoOA) on the morphology of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) utilizing three-dimensional (3D) models of 23 asymptomatic individuals and 30 ADDwoOA patients. Statistical analyses between the groups were performed by m...

Summary:We investigated the effect of anterior disc displacement without osteoarthritis (ADDwoOA) on the morphology of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) utilizing three-dimensional (3D) models of 23 asymptomatic individuals and 30 ADDwoOA patients. Statistical analyses between the groups were performed by measuring 10 morphological parameters. ADDwoOA patients showed significantly decreased levels of the sagittal ramus angle (SRA) and joint spaces compared with asymptomatic subjects. Moreover, the patients who had recovered exhibited normal joint spaces levels. Consequently, ADDwoOA caused the condyles to move backward and upward, approaching the articular fossa. Joint spaces can serve as an important observation during the treatment of ADD.
