[A dynamic study of influences of TMJOA on TMJ disc]
Objective:
To learn the changes of TMJ disc positions under the influences of TMJ Osteoarthrosis(TMJOA).
Methods:
The TMJOA experimental animal model was established by 12 goats. The TMJ disc positions were observed and recorded at different intervals, (1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 4 months and 6 months) then the pathological changes of TMJ specimens were also studied.
Results:
Significant anteromedial shift of TMJ disc position was observed in some certain TMJOA phases and became more obviously along with the disease progress.
Conclusion:
The shift of TMJ disc may be the secondary change of TMJOA.
