Diagnostic Methods Selection in Patients with Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction
Occlusive disorders caused by pathological closing of the dentition and discoordination of the masticatory muscles lead to the development of functional disorders and degenerative changes of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Electronic axiography allows you to analyze qualitative and quantitative indicators, to assess the synchronicity of the speed of movement, the symmetry of the left and right joints. Magnetic resonance imaging is a method of choice when it is necessary to assess the state of the soft tissues of the TMJ, determining the topography and configuration of the articular disc, the integrity of the bone structures of the joint.
