dc.description.abstract | Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate normative values of the
distance between the most lateral point of the articular capsule and the most lateral
point of the mandibular condyle (LCCD), in children and adolescents. Since the disc
is not always visible on ultrasound, LCCD measurement is a very practical indirect
indicator for evaluating TMJ.
Methods: This prospective study evaluated 141 temporomandibular joints distance of
141 pediatric individuals with a median age of 9 years (5-13) for boys and 11 years
(6.5-14) for girls, comprising 69 boys and 72 girls. LCCD measurements were made
with the participants in the closed mouth position, and the relationship of these values
with weight, height, age, gender and body mass index (BMI) was evaluated.
Results: Median LCCD values in age groups 2 and 3 were significantly higher than
the age group 1 (p=0.001). There was no significant difference between median
LCCD values in age group 2 and age group 3 (p=0.5). No significant difference was
found among the median LCCD values of the males 1.5 mm (1.2-1.8) and females
1.4 mm (1.1-1.6).
Conclusion: LCDD values increased with age, but no significant difference shown
among the genders. However, a negative relation was detected with BMI. This
study provides the normative quantitative values of TMJ distance which could be a
reference point for upcoming studies. US is a diagnostic method that can be used in
the follow-up and screening of children with TMD risk and general population. Since
it does not include radiation, it can be safely repeated. | en_US |
