Internal derangements of the temporomandibular joint evaluated with direct sagittal CT: a prospective study. 1985

L G Manco, and S G Messing, and L J Busino, and C P Fasulo, and W C Sordill

Direct sagittal computed tomography (CT) was performed in 454 patients thought to have internal derangement of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Of 905 joints examined, 71 were subsequently studied using arthrography and/or surgery. Sensitivity was 91.8%, accuracy 87.3%, and the positive predictive value 93.3%. Degenerative joint disease was detected in 33.6% of joints with anterior meniscal displacement but no reduction, 15.3% of those with displacement and reduction, and 5.0% of those with no identifiable meniscal abnormality. It is concluded that direct sagittal CT is a sensitive and effective method of detecting and characterizing displacement of the TMJ meniscus as well as underlying degenerative joint disease.

D013705 Temporomandibular Joint Disorders A variety of conditions affecting the anatomic and functional characteristics of the temporomandibular joint. Factors contributing to the complexity of temporomandibular diseases are its relation to dentition and mastication and the symptomatic effects in other areas which account for referred pain to the joint and the difficulties in applying traditional diagnostic procedures to temporomandibular joint pathology where tissue is rarely obtained and x-rays are often inadequate or nonspecific. Common diseases are developmental abnormalities, trauma, subluxation, luxation, arthritis, and neoplasia.
