Temporomandibular Joint Loads In Subjects With And Without Disc Displacement, Laura R. Iwasaki, Michael J. Crosby, Yoly Gonzalez, Willard D. Mccall, David B. Marx, Richard Ohrbach, Jeffrey C. Nickel

Department of Statistics: Faculty Publications

The likelihood of development of degenerative joint disease (DJD) of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is related to the integrity of the TMJ disc. Predilection for mechanical failure of the TMJ disc may reflect inter-individual differences in TMJ loads. Nine females and eight males in each of normal TMJ disc position and bilateral disc displacement diagnostic groups consented to participate in our study. Disc position was determined by bilateral magnetic resonance images of the joints. Three-dimensional (3D) anatomical geometry of each subject was used in a validated computer-assisted numerical model to calculate ipsilateral and contralateral TMJ loads for a range of …
