Abstract

Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMD) is a set of symptoms or signs involving musculoskeletal disorders, temporomandibular joint, or both. Most of them are often caused by internal disorders that refer to a change in the normal TMJ joint motion paths mostly involving articular disc function. Although the prevalence is high, the exact diagnosis is often difficult because the symptoms associated with TMD vary. MRI is a device with good imaging capabilities for soft tissue and solid as well as for the evaluation of the temporomandibular joint. MRI allows three-dimensional analysis of the TMD, provide the most complete assessment of the relationship of mandible condylus, articular disc, mandibular fossa and articular eminence. This study aims to assess the relationship between the length of complaint with disc displacement based on the results of an MRI examination. The study was observational with cross sectional design. The population of patients was those with clinical signs and symptoms of TMD. The sample involved as many as 20 patients of the population with clinical signs and symptoms of TMD, either unilaterally or bilaterally. The 20 patients underwent MRI TMJ examination. Results: Patients with anterior disc displacement with the length of complaints of less than 1 year was found 4 patients (10%) and the number of complaints over 1 year was found 16 patients (90%).

Bivariate analysis using the Fisher exact statistical test showed that there was a significant relationship between the complaint and the length of complaint with disc displacement (P <0.05).
