Temporo-mandibular joint changes in renal osteodystrophy

G Cappelini, P Pavlica, G Stasi

    Radiologia Clinica
    |January 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    Long-term hemodialysis patients can develop osteodystrophic changes in their temporomandibular joints, affecting bone density and potentially causing pain. Radiologic studies reveal these abnormalities, ranging from reduced bone density to condylar resorption.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Nephrology
    • Orthopedics

    Background:

    • Long-term hemodialysis is associated with various systemic complications.
    • Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders can significantly impact quality of life.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the prevalence and nature of osteodystrophic changes in the temporomandibular joints of patients undergoing long-term hemodialysis.

    Main Methods:

    • Radiologic examination of the temporomandibular joints.
    • Clinical assessment of symptoms in patients.

    Main Results:

    • Osteodystrophic changes were documented in 6 out of 6 patients.
    • 2 patients were asymptomatic, while 4 experienced referred pain.
    • Radiologic findings ranged from decreased bone density to resorption of the condylar head.

    Conclusions:

    • Long-term hemodialysis may lead to significant osteodystrophic changes in the temporomandibular joints.
    • These changes can be asymptomatic or associated with pain.
    • Radiological assessment is crucial for identifying these abnormalities.
