Özet

The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlations between magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in anterior displacement with reduction (ADDR) and anterior displacement without reduction (ADDWR). Two hundred patients with temporomandibular disorder (TMD) symptoms were examined clinically by a clinician experienced with this disorder. There were 130 joints with ADDR and 45 joints with ADDWR; 88 patients were identified according to the clinical and MRI diagnoses of both observers. The MRI characteristics such as position, signal intensity, morphology of disc, degenerative changes, effusion, scar tissue, avascular necrosis, and condylar hypermobility were evaluated in the individual with ADDR and ADDWR. The Chi-square test was used to determine the correlation between MRI characteristics in the ADDR and the ADDWR. There were significant relationships between degenerative changes and increased signal intensity, degenerative changes and side-way displacement, effusion and the deformation of the disc, effusion and subluxation, increased signal intensity and subluxation, elongation deformation and increased signal intensity, and elongation deformation and side-way displacement in ADDR. There were significant relationships between degenerative changes and effusion, degenerative changes and decreased signal intensity, scar tissue and avascular necrosis, deformation of disc and increased signal intensity, as well as deformation of disc and decreased signal intensity in ADDWR. These MRI findings also correlated with the clinical findings, however, this correlation appears to be a synergistic pattern rather than a set of clear-cut relationships. The correlations between these MRIs and different clinical findings such as pain and dysfunction also must be evaluated. Existing correlations must be considered in the diagnosis and treatment planning of TMD, and signs and symptoms of TMD should be monitored after treatment.
