Abstract
Objective. To optimize the conditions for determining the location of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) visualization.
Materials and methods. The analysis of MRI of the temporomandibular joints (TMJs) was performed using a 1.5 Tesla MRI scanner (Magnetom Vision, Siemens, Erlangen, Germany) equipped with a dual-channel coil designed for the TMJ. Each patient underwent a multi-plane examination consisting of nine images per joint, with a slice thickness of 2.5 millimeters.
Results. A method for diagnosing the intra-articular structures of the TMJ has been developed and implemented in clinical practice; the method is based on MRI of the joint in the oblique sagittal plane from both sides, in two different positions of the jaw, and a comprehensive criterion for the condition of the TMJ. The method has been validated on patients with TMJ dysfunction.
Conclusions. Due to a comprehensive assessment criterion of the TMJ condition and its visualization as a state diagram of intra-articular structures, it is possible to make prompt and reliable diagnosis of the status of these structures and develop an orthodontic and prosthetic treatment plan for patients.
