TMJ Disc Disorder
Conditions
Brief summary
the study aimed to evaluate the clinical and MRI finding of TMJ with disk perforation with predication of the risk factors.
Detailed description
The retrospective study included patients seeking treatment for TMD at Al-Azhar University Hospital and the outpatient clinic at the Faculty of Dental Medicine of Al-Azahr University. The sample originally included patients who provided consent to participate in this study and who ultimately underwent treatment for TMJD between 2008 and 2019. Exclusion Inclusion criteria: Patients were included if they were older than 18 years and diagnosed with TMJD. criteria for this study included systemic diseases (the presence of polyarthritis or other rheumatic diseases), contraindications for MRI (e.g., implanted metal or medical devices, claustrophobia), the presence of neurologic disorders, head and neck cancer, oral submucous fibrosis, a history of TMJ surgery, a history of previous nonsurgical treatment such as occlusal splints, and a history of joint injection with HA/PRP. Trauma patients with subcondylar fracture and patients with congenital and developmental disorders of the TMJ were also excluded from the study. the study included 2 groups group 1: normal TMJ patients group 2: patients with TMJ internal derangement

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| joint pain (VAS), | pre treatment | pain index scores were measured using a 10-point visual analogue scale (VAS), with 0 indicating absence of pain and 10 indicating the worst pain. |
| (MVMO) | pretreatment | mouth opening |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| joint sound | pretreatment | joint sound was then determined by combining 3 means: (1) palpation of the TMJ zone by the clinician, (2) the patient's self-reporting regarding whether the joint sound could be heard, and (3) auscultation of the TMJ zone with the stethoscope. |
