    Summary

    Splint therapy can effectively manage temporomandibular joint (TMJ) anterior disc displacement by restoring normal joint relationships. This study details an accurate computed tomography (CT) method for assessing these TMJ relationships.

    Area of Science:

    • Dental Science
    • Radiology
    • Orthodontics

    Background:

    • Anterior displacement of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) meniscus is commonly managed with splint therapy.
    • Splint therapy's effectiveness hinges on restoring normal meniscocondylar relationships.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe an accurate method for assessing meniscocondylar relationships in TMJ anterior disc displacement.
    • To present a precise protocol for a noninvasive computed tomography (CT) method.

    Main Methods:

    • Direct sagittal computed tomography (CT) was utilized for assessment.
    • A specific protocol for CT imaging and image interpretation criteria were established.

    Main Results:

    • The described CT method provides accurate assessment of meniscocondylar relationships.

  • The protocol enables precise evaluation of TMJ meniscal position.

    • Conclusions:

    • Direct sagittal CT is a valuable tool for evaluating meniscocondylar relationships in TMJ disorders.
    • This noninvasive CT method aids in optimizing splint therapy for anterior disc displacement.
