Abstract:
Coordination of bilateral temporomandibular joints (TMJs) was evaluated using bilateral simultaneous pseudodynamic magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. Seven patients (6 patients with internal derangement and one with osteoarthritis) were examined by multiplanar gradient echo technique in closed-loop cine fashion on both sagittal and coronal planes. Incoordination of bilateral TMJ motion was observed in 2 of 7 patients. This technique might be suitable for evaluation of TMJ disorders.
