Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Summary  To assess whether in patients with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) arthralgia cephalometric variables of mandibular morphology may discriminate among the magnetic resonance (MR) imaging-based TMJ groups of 'bilateral presence of disk displacement without reduction (DDwoR) and osteoarthrosis (OA)' and 'bilateral absence of bilateral DDwoR and OA'. Bilateral MR imaging of the TMJ was performed in 45 consecutive TMJ arthralgia patients to identify individuals with the specific structural characteristics of bilateral TMJ DDwoR associated with OA. Linear and angular cephalometric measurements were taken from lateral cephalograms to apply selected criteria of mandibular morphology. A discriminant function analysis was used to investigate how cephalometric parameters discriminate among the TMJ groups of 'bilateral presence of DDwoR with OA' and 'bilateral absence of DDwoR and OA'. Ramus height (Ar-Go) and effective mandibular length (Ar-Pog) produced a significant discriminant function that predicted TMJ group membership (P < 0·001). This function correctly classified 80·2% of original and cross-validated grouped cases. This study supports the concept that cephalometric variables of mandibular morphology discriminate among subjects with and without bilateral TMJ DDwoR and OA.
