Opis

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a crucial tool in the diagnosis and management of Temporomandibular Disorders (TMDs), offering high-resolution images of soft-tissue structures without ionizing radiation. It provides precise visualization of the articular disc, joint capsule, retrodiscal tissue, ligaments, and surrounding musculature. MRI is especially effective in identifying internal derangements such as anterior disc displacement with or without reduction, joint effusion, inflammation, and degenerative changes. It supports clinicians in distinguishing between functional and structural abnormalities, planning appropriate interventions, and evaluating treatment efficacy. As the gold standard in TMJ imaging, MRI significantly enhances diagnostic accuracy and improves patient care outcomes.
