Abstract

TMJ radiographs made using the head positioner provide a valuable adjunct to diagnosis and treatment planning for patients with MPD syndrome. 2. Where extensive restorative procedures are anticipated, TMJ radiographs can be useful before embarking on a treatment plan and in documenting the postoperative results. 3. Bilateral condylar symmetry is a reasonable objective of extensive restorative dentistry. 4. Radiographic retrusion is more frequently accompanied by signs and symptoms than bilateral condylar symmetry and protrusion.

摘要

使用头部定位器拍摄的颞下颌关节X光片，为颞下颌关节紊乱综合征患者的诊断和治疗计划提供了有价值的辅助手段。2. 在预期需要进行广泛修复治疗时，颞下颌关节X光片在制定治疗计划前以及记录术后结果方面可能会很有用。3. 双侧髁突对称是广泛修复牙科治疗的一个合理目标。4. 与双侧髁突对称和前突相比，影像学后缩更常伴有体征和症状。
