- Abstract
Methods: DC/TMD clinical questionnaire diagnosis was conducted for 30 patients with temporomandibular disorder (TMD) and 11 asymptomatic volunteers who were admitted to the Department of Oral Medicine of the First Hospital affiliated with Jinan University from June 2020 to June 2021. At the same time, MRI scanned the opening and closed positions to obtain the image information of the articular disc and compared the diagnostic difference between MRI and DC/TMD to the position of the articular disc through statistical analysis., Results: The probability of DC/TMD's diagnosis of reusable/nonreusable anterior disc displacement (ADD) was 80.1% and 62.7%, respectively., Conclusion: DC/TMD's diagnosis of abnormal articular disc position is less accurate than MRI testing. Therefore, the diagnosis of these two diseases for DC/TMD examination is of little significance, and MRI examination is required at the same time. It can improve diagnosis specificity and sensitivity, reduce missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis rates to ensure that true positive patients can be detected in time, and establish a basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment., Competing Interests: The authors declare that they have no conflicts of interest., (Copyright © 2022 Shan Shen et al.)
