Superolateral dislocation of bilateral mandibular condyles: A case report

Journal of Craniomaxillofacial Research, 2018
Dislocation of the mandibular condyle has been described as a clinical condition when the condyle  head is displaced out of the glenoid fossa but still remains within the capsule of the joint. This dislocation of mandibular condyle can occur in anterior,

Thickness measurements and micro‐CT imaging of human temporo‐mandibular discs

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
This study aimed to analyze the morphology of human temporo‐mandibular discs. We measured thickness at nine points, observed disc perforations, and highlighted the potential of micro‐CT imaging to map thickness variations and improve the diagnosis of TMJ‐related conditions like osteoarthritis.

Skull morphology and histology indicate the presence of an unexpected buccal soft tissue structure in dinosaurs

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
A combined approach of osteology and histology was used to examine the cheek regions of dinosaurs. Strong evidence was found for a soft tissue in this region connecting the zygoma to the mandible, here named the ‘exoparia’. Abstract Unlike mammals, reptiles typically lack large muscles and ligaments that connect the zygoma to the mandible.

Exploring craniofacial fluctuating asymmetry in a South African sample

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
This study investigated craniofacial fluctuating asymmetry (FA) in a contemporary South African sample using micro‐XCT scans. Inter‐landmark distances (ILDs) assessed size variation, while geometric morphometric methods (GMMs) captured shape variation.

Exploring the Association Between Clinical Features and CBCT Findings in TMJ Degenerative Joint Disease

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) degenerative joint disease (DJD) involves progressive osseous changes and is commonly associated with temporomandibular disorders (TMD). Cone‐beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a valuable diagnostic tool for evaluating these changes. However, the relationship between clinical signs and symptoms, such as

Unveiling a rare case of osteochondroma on the lateral pole of the mandibular condyle: An in-depth exploration of literature

Oral Oncology Reports, 2023
Osteochondroma is a rare bone tumor. Its occurrence in the maxillofacial region is rare due to the intramembranous development of facial bones. According to previous literature, the mandibular condyle is an infrequent site of involvement, with the medial

A Comprehensive Approach to Diagnosing Temporomandibular Joint Diseases: AI-driven TMD Diagnostic System [PDF]

arXiv
AI-driven TMD diagnostic system uses AI segmentation method to diagnose Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMD). By using segmentation, three important parts: temporal bone, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc and the condyle can be identified. The location and the size of each segment are used as the basic information to determine if the patient has a ...

Patient Experiences With Temporomandibular Disorders: A Survey on the Pathways in Diagnosis and Treatment

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Despite the availability of evidence‐based guidelines on temporomandibular disorders (TMD), some past theories of TMD aetiology, diagnosis and treatment are still diffused among clinical practitioners. Objective(s) The study aims to gather and analyse patient experiences and outcomes related to their seeking care for TMD symptoms ...

The dynamics of the stomatognathic system from 4D multimodal data [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
The purpose of this chapter is to discuss methods of acquisition, visualization and analysis of the dynamics of a complex biomedical system, illustrated by the human stomatognathic system. The stomatognathic system consists of the teeth and the skull bones with the maxilla and the mandible. Its dynamics can be described by the change of mutual position

Redefining Clinical Trials on Regenerative Therapies to Target Responsiveness in Temporomandibular Joint Osteoarthritis Treatment

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJ‐OA) presents a significant clinical challenge, marked by limited therapeutic options and variable patient responses. While regenerative therapies show promising results, conventional clinical trial methodologies often fail to demonstrate a significant clinical difference, largely due to ...
