This study was made to measure non-invasively the deep temperature of the temporomandibular joint [TMJ] region at rest. The transcutaneous probe making use of zero-heat-flow method was utilized for the deep thermometry. The following results were obtained. 1. In 20 normal male subjects, no differences of the deep temperature were recognized between the right and the left TMJ regions. 2. In 10 patients with temporomandibular disorders, the deep temperature of the symptomatic TMJ side was significantly higher than that of asymptomatic side.
本研究旨在无创测量颞下颌关节（TMJ）区域静息时的深部温度。采用零热流法的经皮探头用于深部温度测量。获得了以下结果。1. 在20名正常男性受试者中，右侧和左侧TMJ区域的深部温度未发现差异。2. 在10名颞下颌关节紊乱患者中，有症状的TMJ侧的深部温度显著高于无症状侧。
