Abstract:

Conne-beam computed tomography (CBCT) or dental volumetric tomography (DVT) systems used in dental radiology have made it possible to study the hard tissues of the maxillophasial area in both three plates. The objective of this study is to study the bone changes of the condile in young and adult individuals with TME dysfunction in a symptomatic and etiological perspective with DVT. In the study, 50 patients with TME dysfunction were studied with dental volumetric tomography, with symptomatic findings such as age, gender and parafunctional activity, the hard tissues and bone changes in the 100 joints of the patient with TME dysfunction. In the CBCT images there were no bone changes in 62 conds, while in 38 conds there was no bone changes. The survey resulted in 14 condoms of flatness, 19 condoms of osteophytes and 5 condoms of erotic formation. According to the research results, there was no statistically meaningful relationship between bone changes and gender, sound and movement changes; a meaningful relationship was found in terms of pain, age and the presence of parafunctional activity (dental compression and scratching).

Evaluation of Condyle Bone Changes by Dental Volumetric Tomography in Individuals with Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction Abstract With cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) or dental volumetric tomography (DVT) systems used in dental radiology, it has become possible to examine the hard tissues of maxillofacial region in all three planes. The aim of this study is to investigate the symptomatic and etiological aspects of condyle bone changes in young and adult individuals with TMJ dysfunction with DVT. Hard tissue and condyle changes in 100 joints of 50 patients with TMJ dysfunction were evaluated as etiological factors such as age, sex and parafunctional activity. Symptomatic findings such as pain, voice and movement changes were examined by dental volumetric tomography. CBCT images showed no bone changes in 62 condyles; Bone changes were detected in 38 condyles. As a result of the examination, flattening was observed in 14 condyles, osteophyte in 19 condyles and erosion formation in 5 condyles. According to the results of the study, no statistically significant relationship was found between condyles bone change and sex, voice and movement changes; pain, age and presence of parafunctional activity (squeezing and grinding). Key words: Dental volumetric tomography, Dysfunction, Temporomandibular Joint, Condylar bone.
