入选标准
- •Patients' age ranging from 20 to 50 years.
- •TMDs according to the research diagnostic criteria (RDC) for TMD (RDC/TMD) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for confirmation which include:
- •i. Painful TMJ audible and palpable click. ii. No functional mouth limitation. iii. TMJ tenderness. Fully dentate patients without any malocclusion and good oral hygiene. Co-operative patient that should show motivation to follow up.
排除标准
- •Patients with systemic diseases which could affect TMJ, e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthrosis, Myasthenia Gravis and fibromyalgia.
- •Patients showing bony irregularities e.g. osteophyte as recorded by Magnetic resonance imaging.
- •Patients taking analgesic, muscle relaxant, or anti-inflammatory drugs were excluded because such drugs could influence the results.
- •Any condition that contra-indicates MRI such as patients with pacemakers in heart.
- •Patients with removable dental prosthesis
