Abstract

Temporomandibular joint is a secondary joint that connects mandible to temporal bone. Conventional radiographic imaging such as panoramic or transcranial radiographs, conventional tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasonography, artrography or cone beam computed tomography can be used for the evaluation of the temporomandibular joint. Although several studies have been done, relationship between the temporomandibular joint shape and position and occlusion could not be defined clearly, and the effect of occlusion to the morphology and position of the temporomandibular joint has not been fully understood. The aim of this review was to discuss the studies that have examined the temporomandibular joint position and shape in different malocclusions.

Farklı malokluzyonlarda temporomandibular eklem pozisyonlarının değerlendirilmesi

Abstract

Temporomandibular eklem, alt çeneyi temporal kemiğe bağlayan sekonder bir eklemdir. Temporomandibular eklem değerlendirilmesinde panoramik filmler, transkraniyal filmler gibi geleneksel radyografik görüntüleme, geleneksel tomografi, manyetik rezonans görüntüleme, ultrasonografi, artrografi veya konik ışınlı bilgisayarlı tomografi görüntüleri kullanılabilmektedir. Temporomandibular eklem şekli, pozisyonu ve okluzyon arasındaki ilişkiyi değerlendiren birçok çalışma yapılmasına rağmen bu ilişki net olarak ortaya konamamış ve okluzyonun eklem morfolojisine ve pozisyonuna etkisi tam olarak anlaşılamamıştır. Bu derlemenin amacı farklı malokluzyonlarda temporomandibular eklem pozisyonunu ve şeklini inceleyen çalışmaları değerlendirmektir.
