Abstract
:
Objective: The present study was conducted to investigate the value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the assessment of the post-surgical TMD pain after diskecmmy without replacement. Material and Method: Twenty patients (14 females and 6 males) with an average age of 29.4 years with TMDs who needed diskectomy were operated upon and were assessed clinically and by MRI at the beginning and 12months after surgery. Results: Clinically, 16 out the twenty patients showed significant improvement in their clinical signs arid symptoms (p < 0.001) at one year postoperatively. Maximal interincisal opening (MID) showed significant improvement at one year ppstoperatively. Sixteen out of twenty patients were considered successful, and of the four unsuccessful patients, 2 patients showed suboptimal oral opening and pain relief, one patfent showed suboptimal oral opening and one patient showed suboptimal pain relief. MRI showed that in the successfully treated joints, there was no bone-to-bone contact and the joints showed a high signal image from the articulating surface of the joints. Conclusion:.The present study suggests that MR imaging could be a valuable tool for evaluation of patients after TMJ diskectomy.
