“…Apart from internal derangement of the temporomandibular joint [2], facial pain associated with the trigeminal nerve is one of the most common causes of pain in the face [3]. In conjunction with the history and clinical and neuropsychological findings, typical complaints reported by patients with trigeminal neuralgia allow these patients to be clearly distinguished from patients with trigeminal neuropathy and atypical facial pain.…”

To assess whether quantitative measuring methods can help improve the reliability of MRI-based evaluations of the pathological role of a neurovascular conflict between an artery and the trigeminal nerve. In a prospective study, magnetic resonance images were obtained from 62 patients with unilateral facial pain and 50 healthy test subjects. In coronal T1- and T2-weighted sequences volume measurements were performed by regions of interest and compared intraindividually (healthy versus affected side in the patient populations and right versus left side in the group of test subjects) and on the basis of the different clinical pictures (t test for dependent and independent samples, p<0.05). In patients with trigeminal neuralgia, the affected nerve showed a smaller volume than the trigeminal nerve on the healthy side (p<0.001). Such a volume difference was noted neither in the other patients nor in the healthy test subjects. Quantitative MRI measurements allow a pathological neurovascular conflict to be distinguished from a nonpathological condition where an artery is in close proximity to the trigeminal nerve. The measured volume difference between the healthy and the affected nerve in patients with neuralgia is indicative of trigeminal nerve atrophy resulting from damage to the nerve.

“…At present, magnetic resonance (MR) is considered the standard of reference for non-invasive diagnosis of TMJ disc displacement 32 , on the basis of studies which compared MR findings with surgical and autopsy specimens, and reported an accuracy of about 90%-95% for detecting disc position abnormalities when both coronal and sagittal images are evaluated 2,4,26 .…”

“…Even though studied long ago, there are still many controversies in relation to etiology, diagnosis and treatment [1]. Among the most characteristic clinical signs of TMD is muscle and joint sensitivity to palpation and limitations on and/or difficulty in mandibular movement [2].…”

Objective:The objective of this study was to evaluate the biometric modifications to intracapsular structures that occur after installation of orthoses of modified "Planas" type, in patients with TMD, by means of MRI of the TMJ. Methods and Material:Twelve patients with diagnoses of TMD were selected and clinically examined. They underwent TMJ examination using MRI before and after installation of the modified "Planas" orthoses. The examinations were performed using Siemens Concerto equipment with a magnetic field of 0.2 T and gradient of 20 mT and the image acquisition in the sagittal plane with a Flash-3D sequence, weighted in T1, with and without the orthosis, with the open and closed mouth. The following measurement reference points were established: upper condyle, upper glenoid and lower glenoid. From these points, the distances between the upper glenoid and upper condyle and between the lower glenoid and upper condyle for closed and open mouth were measured on both joints. Results:The mean value for the closed mouth without appliance was 0.34 cm, and with the orthosis installed, it was 0.56 cm (increase of 0.22 cm). The value for open mouth without appliance was 1.15 cm and this was also the value for open mouth with appliance. Conclusion:We concluded that installation of the modified "Planas" orthosis significantly increased the upper glenoid and upper condyle spaces and that the increase in these spaces presented a significant correlation with clinical improvement of the patients.
