Joint sound and Muscle tenderness. Therefore, they radiographed for TMJ tomogram by using double TMJ program on Proline multi- tomographic x-ray machine. Radiographic changes that were observed (hard tissue changes [ero- sion,flattening, sclerosis,osteophytes] joint space, condylar position and translation). Clinical parameters showing increase frequencies of pain on chewing (50%), clicking (85%) and pain in masticatory muscles (45%). Radiographic examination reveals increase of flattening of eminence (70%) and condyle (60%) with increased in reduction of anterior joint space where condyle positioned anteriorly in closed mouth within glenoid fossa (75%) with moderate frequencies of hypermiobility( 50%). TMJ tomogram program accompanied with clinical parameters increase the accuracy for di- agnosis of TMD patients and help clinician in treatment plane.  ISSN : 0  Journal Name : Egyptian Dental Journal  Volume : 46  Issue Number : 1  Publishing Year : 2002 AH 2002 AD  Article Type : Article  Added Date : Tuesday, May 6, 2008  Researchers Researcher Name (Arabic) Researcher Name (English) Researcher Type Dr Grade Email عمرو بيومي Bayoumi, Amr Researcher Doctorate Abayme@kau.edu.sa حسان أبوالخير Abouelkheir, Hassan Investigator Doctorate   Files File Name Type Description  CLINICAL AND RADIOGRAPHIC DIAGNOSIS OF TMJ DISORDERS.pdf pdf   Back To Researches Page
