Temporomandibular joint disc displacement with reduction: a review of mechanisms and clinical presentation

J. appl. oral sci; 27 (), 2019
Abstract Disc displacement with reduction (DDWR) is one of the most common intra-articular disorders of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Factors related to the etiology, progression and treatment of such condition is still a subject of discussion. This literature review aimed to address etiology, devel...

Metrical analysis of disc-condyle relation with different splint treatment positions in patients with TMJ disc displacement

J. appl. oral sci; 25 (5), 2017
Abstract Objective: To evaluate the effect of bite positions characterizing different splint treatments (anterior repositioning and stabilization splints) on the disc-condyle relation in patients with TMJ disc displacement with reduction (DDwR), using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Material and Meth...

Effect of Occlusal Splints on the Stress Distribution on the Temporomandibular Joint Disc

Braz. dent. j; 28 (3), 2017
Abstract Conservative approach, including occlusal splint therapy, is the first option to treat temporomandibular disorders (TMD), because of its reversibility. The present study analyzed the effect of the articular disc position and occlusal splints use on the stress distribution on this disc. A two-dim...

Evaluation of the relation between the horizontal condylar angle and the internal derangement of the TMJ - a magnetic resonance imaging study
Avaliação da relação entre o ângulo horizontal do côndilo e o desarranjo interno da ATM, por meio de ressonância magnética

Pesqui. odontol. bras; 17 (2), 2003
Esta pesquisa teve por objetivo avaliar a relação entre o valor do ângulo horizontal do côndilo (AHC) e o desarranjo interno (DI), por interferência do disco da articulação temporomandibular (ATM), de indivíduos indicados para exame por ressonância magnética (RM). A amostra perfez um total de 1...
