Recently, the use of infrared thermography in medical has been increasingly developed and widely used in medical devices to detect diseases, including one used in the field of dentistry, which can be used to detect joint conditions in case of temporomandibular disorder (TMD). Some literature has shown this method of infrared thermography was used to determine the surface temperature of the skin based on the emission of infrared radiation from the body. Thermal measurement is also a noninvasive method that does not provide patient inconvenience, but its application until now has not been so wide. The case study reported on the description of thermal condition of muscle area around temporomandibular joint (TMJ) in a 42-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) disease. She had experienced TMD. Infrared thermography is applied to observe the thermal condition of the muscle area around the right and left joints by thermal detection. Thermal measurement was obtained on infrared image capture, and the temperature difference was found to be greater than 0.3°C. Several studies have shown that temperature in the area around TMJ was higher, and thermal asymmetry was greater in individuals with joint disorder/TMD when compared with normal groups.
近年来，红外热成像技术在医学领域的应用得到了越来越多的发展，并广泛应用于医疗设备中以检测疾病，包括牙科领域使用的一种设备，它可用于在颞下颌关节紊乱（TMD）的情况下检测关节状况。一些文献表明，这种红外热成像方法是基于人体发出的红外辐射来测定皮肤表面温度的。热测量也是一种非侵入性方法，不会给患者带来不便，但到目前为止其应用还不够广泛。该病例研究报告了一名患有系统性红斑狼疮（SLE）疾病的42岁女性颞下颌关节（TMJ）周围肌肉区域的热状况描述。她曾患有颞下颌关节紊乱症。通过热检测应用红外热成像技术观察左右关节周围肌肉区域的热状况。在红外图像捕捉时进行热测量，发现温差大于0.3°C。几项研究表明，与正常组相比，关节紊乱/颞下颌关节紊乱症患者的颞下颌关节周围区域温度更高，热不对称性更大。
