doi:10.19438/j.cjoms.2018.05.016

Abstract

Abstract: Disc displacement of temporomandibular joint DDis a multifactorial disease causing internal derangement ID, with high morbidity in both adolescents and adults. Its clinical manifestations include clicking, pain, limitation of jaw movement and chewing difficulties, while some patients are asymptomatic. It could be diagnosed definitively based on temporomandibular joint magnetic resonance imaging MRI. However, the relationship between DD and facial morphology remains controversial for its complex etiology and unknown pathogenesis, which has attracted increasing attention recently in this research field. This review discussed its correlation with different facial morphology including facial asymmetry and mandibular retrognathia, summarized the structure and position change of condyle, articular disc, joint space and fossa glenoid, with analysis of its possible mechanism, in order to provide new insights for clinical diagnosis and treatment, as well as related researches.;

Key words: Disc displacement of temporomandibular joint, Facial morphology, Facial asymmetry, Mandibular retrognathia
