Evaluation of the effects of temporomandibular joint disc displacement and its progression on dentocraniofacial morphology in symptomatic patients using posteroanterior cephalometric analysis.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of disc displacement (DD) and its progression on dentocraniofacial morphology in symptomatic patients, and to compare the results with asymptomatic volunteers. Female patients with DD, diagnosed with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and posteroanterior cephalometric analysis, were included in this study. Subjects were grouped as follows: control group with bilateral normal disc position (group 1, n=20), unilateral DD with reduction (group 2, n=17), bilateral DD with reduction (group 3, n=32), unilateral DD without reduction (group 4, n=16), and bilateral DD without reduction (group 5, n=19).

Evaluation of the effects of temporomandibular joint disk displacement and its progression on dentocraniofacial morphology in symptomatic patients using lateral cephalometric analysis.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of disk displacement (DD) and its progression on dentocraniofacial morphology in symptomatic patients and compare the results with asymptomatic volunteers. Skeletal and dental Class I female patients with DD, diagnosed using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and lateral cephalometric analysis were included in the study. Subjects were grouped as follows: control group with bilateral normal disk position (group 1, n=12), unilateral DD with reduction (group 2, n=16), bilateral DD with reduction (group 3, n=26), unilateral DD without reduction (group 4, n=12), and bilateral DD without reduction (group 5, n=8).
