Changes in condylar dimensions in temporomandibular joints with disc displacement

Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, Oral Radiology Apr 26, 2019

Seo BY, et al. - In order to study the condylar dimensions of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) with respect to disc displacements and gender, researchers divided disc displacements into three groups based on magnetic resonance imaging [normal disc position (NR), disc displacement with reduction (DDR), and disc displacement without reduction (DDNR)] and analyzed differences in condylar dimensions after calculating the angular and linear condylar dimensions from computed tomography images. Condyles with DDNR had significantly smaller condylar depth and condylar height than those with NR or DDR (NR = DDR > DDNR). From NR to DDNR, they noted a significant gradual decrease in condylar width (NR > DDR > DDNR). Condyles with NR displayed significantly larger anterior condylar angle than those with DDR or DDNR (NR > DDR = DDNR). Compared to condyles with NR or DDR, those with with DDNR showed significantly larger horizontal condylar angles (NR = DDR < DDNR). The findings suggest a significant association of condylar dimensions with disc displacements of the TMJ, irrespective of gender.
