Abstract

Condylar displacement on TMJ tomograms taken in the intercuspal position in the frontal plane is a phenomenon described in the literature. However, there is no research on the reason for these disturbances. Introducing MR imaging for TMJ investigation has created new possibilities to explain this phenomenon. 34 TMJ tomograms were taken in 17 patients with TMJ disc displacement in
the frontal plane. In 17 (50%) TMJs lateral and in 17 (50%) TMJs medial disc displacement on the basis of MR imaging was diagnosed. The tomograms facililated diagnosis of lateral displacement of the condyles in 15 (44%) TMJs, medial displacement in 3 (9%) TMJs and in the remaining 16 (47%) TMJs superior central condylar displacement.
