Abstract

Purpose

The aim of this study is to assess MRI reports of the patients and to provide retrospective analysis by conducting detailed evaluation of temporomandibular disc position.

Patients and Methods

MRI images of 259 patients from 2008 to 2017 were reviewed retrospectively. Existence of disc displacement in joint with and without reduction, existence of effusion in joint gap, arthritis, degenerative changes in joints and limitation of movement of joint and anatomic characteristics were evaluated.

Results

One hundred and seventeen (45.2%) of the patients had healthy joint connection bilaterally. Anterior disc displacement was observed in 101 (38.9%) of the patients. The number of the patients having disc displacement with reduction was 50 (19.3%) and without reduction was 51 (19.6%) similarly.

Conclusion

The incidence of anterior disc displacement with or without reduction was similar; besides this, the majority of the patients diagnosed with anterior disc displacement were unilateral.
