CT density of the TMJ disk: correlation with histologic observations of hyalinization, metaplastic cartilage, and calcification in autopsy specimens.

The attenuation number of the TMJ disk was measured in direct sagittal computerized tomograms (CTs) of eight fresh TMJ autopsy specimens. The CT attenuation number was correlated to histologic observations of hyalinization, calcification, and cartilaginous metaplasia of the disk. Correlations were found between high CT attenuation numbers and the presence of hyalinization, calcification, and foci of cartilaginous metaplasia in the disks. The results suggest that the high CT attenuation number of a disk might be associated with hyalinization, calcification, and metaplastic cartilage formation.

Dislocation of jaws.

Pluri-directional tomographic and arthrotomographic findings are described in six patients with dislocation of the jaw severe enough to require medical assistance. A grooved defect along the posterior aspect of the condylar head was noted in two of the six patients. The arthrotomographic findings that were obtained in one patient that was dislocated at the time of the arthrogram did not suggest a meniscocondyle incoordination as a mechanism. However, arthrotomographic findings in the six reported cases suggest that significant intra-articular soft tissue damage may result.
