INTRODUCTION Anterior open bite is known to be associated with internal derangement of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). This study examined the relationships between internal derangement and dentofacial morphology in women with anterior open bite. METHODS Fifty-one women with anterior open bite were enrolled in this study. The sample was divided into 3 groups based on magnetic resonance ima...

Objective: was to evaluate the effect of four conservative treatment modalities on pain level patients withtemporomandibular joint (TMJ) anterior disc displacement with reduction (ADDwR). Material and Methods:100 subjects (64 females 36 males) were selected, divided into groups, 25 each. Subjects ofGroup I have been treated behavioral therapy. Group II had Photobiomodulationtherapy (PBMT). III ...

The frequency and impact of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders necessitate research in characterizing the joint's function. The 6 discal attachments have not yet been systematically characterized under tension. Understanding their role in joint function may guide our study of TMJ pathologies, including disc displacement. In the present study, a porcine model was used to characterize the at...

Parafunctional habits, such as bruxism and prolonged clenching, have been associated with functional overloading in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which may result in internal derangement and osteoarthrosis of the TMJ. In this study, the distributions of stress on the mandibular condylar surface during prolonged clenching were examined with TMJ mathematical models. Finite element models wer...

The discrepancy between damage to the spinal cord and to the vertebral column in cervical injuries has been the subject of comment by many authors. Both cord damage without vertebral column injury, and vertebral fracture and dislocation without cord dysfunction, are recognised. This communication concerns the former group. The commonly observed anatomical displacement in skeletal injuries of th...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study is to demonstrate a temporomandibular lavage instrument with double needles in a single canula that make the procedure easier for surgeons. MATERIALS AND METHODS 38 year old woman was referred to our department with pain on the right temporomandibular joint (TMJ) region and restricted mouth opening. Magnetic resonance imaging reveals anterior disc displacem...
