It has been recognized that MRI is very useful for description of clinical pathology in the temporomandibular joints. But detailed reports on MRI findings after splint treatment for temporomandibular disorders were rare. We evaluated MRI findings in TMD patients (disk disorders with reduction), after splint treatment.
The patient was a 18-years old male, who complained of jaw opening disorders and bilateral temporomandibular joint pain. For imaging of the temporomandibular disorders, Toshiba MRT-50A was applied. MR imaging was performed before and after splint treatment. And stabilization splint was applied.
In this patient, the disk were not captured by the splint treatment.
