The relationship between effusion of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and patient-reported disability is poorly researched. This pilot study explored the link between TMJ inflammation as measured by ultrasound and patient disability assessed by the Steigerwald Maher TMD Disability Index (SMTDI). The study design used a prospective correlational approach involving a sample with TMJ dysfunction (TMD). Twenty-four patients were recruited from the European School of Osteopathy and a Kent dental practice. Participants completed the SMTDI to determine the level of TMD (symptomatic score >20). A SonoSite SLA ''Hockey Stick'' [13-6 MHz] musculo-skeletal transducer was placed over the TMJ in a transverse direction and effusion was calculated indirectly by measuring capsular width. An upper left quadrant protocol was used throughout. A regression analysis was run with participants' gender, age and capsular width as predictor variables modelled against reported SMTDI. Larger capsular widths were found to be significant predictors of SMTDI scores (r ¼ 0.803, p < 0.0001). The patient profile matched with the previous studies and the TMD sufferer population, indicating external validity. Results suggest that the SMTDI could be integrated into practice life as a quick, accessible and easy tool to monitor patients' progress and assess levels of inflammation, without the need for repetitive imaging. The study design proved reproducible and a larger scale study is indicated.

“…According to the Clinical Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (CDC/TMD) scale; the most important symptoms of TMD are clicking, crepitation and reduction or closed lock of mouth opening movements [2][3][4]. These disorders affect the quality of life, having a prevalence of 10% to 70% in the population [5].…”

“…Pathologies affecting the head and neck region, which includes the salivary glands, lymphatics, thyroid, nerves, and vascular structures, are accessible to ultrasound imaging and have been routinely imaged using ultrasonography (27,39). however, reports on its use in the detection of TMDs in routine clinical practice are limited (5,14,16,25,27). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been reported as the most precise method for visualizing the disc-condyle relationship (16).…”

“…When MRI was taken as the gold standard, TMJ disorders in a majority of studies ranged from 41%-90% in disc displacement (11,14,20,27,40,41). In case of TMJ effusion and condylar effusion, sensitivities ranged from 20-80% and 83% respectively (11,27,(40)(41)(42).…”

ÖzAmaç: Temporomandibular eklem hastalıkları (TMD) ve rahatsızlıkları, çene bölgesinde ve ilgili kaslarda ağrı ile ortaya çıkan ve normal konuşma, yüz ifadesi, yeme, çiğneme ve yutma hareketlerini kısıtlayabilen durumları ifade eder. Ultrasonografi (US), invazif olmayan, düşük maliyetli, kullanımı kolay ve iyonlaştırıcı radyasyon olmaksızın ses dalgalarının kullanıldığı, bununla birlikte; diagnostik prosedür olarak TMD teşhisi için doğruluğu kanıtlanmış bir görüntüleme yöntemidir. Bu pilot çalışmanın amacı, temporomandibular eklem hastalıklarında ultrasonografik görüntülemenin tanısal etkinliğinin değerlendirmektir.Gereç ve Yöntem: Temporomandibular eklem (TMe) ile ilgili şikayetleri bulunan, Marmara Üniversitesi Diş hekimliği Fakültesi Oral Diagnoz ve Radyoloji kliniğine başvuran 20 hastanın (kadın, erkek) retrospektif ultrasonografi görüntüleri kondiler yüzey düzensizlikleri, eklem boşluğunda daralma ve efüzyon açısından değerlendirilmiştir.Bulgular: Toplam 20 hasta (% 70 kadın, % 30 erkek, yaş ortalaması :33,75) ve 40 TMe değerlendirilmiş ve % 15 erozivdejeneratif değişiklik, % 82,5 kondiler yüzeyde düzleşme ve % 27 oranlarında artan eklem kapsülü genişliği gözlenmiştir.Sonuç: Ultrasonografi, TMe' nin görüntülenmesi ve rutin klinik uygulamada TMD'nin değerlendirilebilmesi için uygun ve invaziv olmayan bir tekniktir.
