Tomographic evaluation of 100 patients with temporomandibular joint symptoms.

In this study the temporomandibular joints of 100 patients were examined radiographically. While the results leave many unanswered questions, studies of this type do contribute to an increase in the knowledge of this complex structure. It is anticipated that polycycloidal tomography will provide even greater knowledge of the bony components of the TMJ. More accurate, objective radiographic evidence will unquestionably allow us to approach subjective clinical evidence with greater confidence in relating these factors to diagnosis. Dentistry must recognize that the newer and more sophisticated methods must be utilized to evaluate pathologic changes or disease entities, such as temporomandibular joint dysfunction. A health profession must be provided with maximum information for total diagnosis.

Aseptic osteomyelitis and necrosis of the mandibular condylar head after intracapsular fracture.

Aseptic osteomyelitis and necrosis of the mandibular condylar head is a rare complication which may occur several months after an untreated intracapsular fracture. Clinical symptoms are pain in the temporomandibular joint on the affected side and limitation of opening of the mouth. Radiographically, the condylar head is characteristically eroded and irregular. Treatment consists of surgical removal of the necrotic condylar head and débridement of the area, which are performed via a preauricular approach.

Condylysis in a patient with a mixed collagen vascular disease.

Condylysis has not previously been described as a complication of a mixed collagen vascular disease. A case is presented in which apertognathia and mandibular retrognathism occurred secondary to condylysis in a 26-year-old woman with features of rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, scleroderma, and Sjögren's syndrome. The disease was manifested by polyarthritis, morning stiffnes, subcutaneous nodules, and acrosclerosis. Important laboratory findings included RA slide latex negative, increased DNA binding, ANA positive, ENA negative, and an abnormal parotid scan. The malocclusion secondary to condylysis was corrected by surgical procedures usually employed for the treatment of mandibular retrognathism and apertognathia on a developmental basis.

Eikenella corrodens: a pathogen in head and neck infections.

E. corrodens as a co-existent or primary causal agent in six cases of osteomyelitis or orofacial infections following trauma or elective dental extraction is presented. The importance of this facultative gram-negative bacillus as a head and neck pathogen is discussed.

Erosive temporomandibular joint disease as a feature of the spondyloarthropathy of ulcerative colitis.

A patient with ankylosing spondylitis associated with ulcerative colitis developed bilateral temporomandibular joint pain and severe restriction of jaw motion. Conventional radiographs did not show structural abnormality of the temporomandibular joints, but corrected axis tomography revealed erosions in both mandibular condyles with extensive reactive sclerosis in the subchondral bone. These findings suggest that the temporomandibular joint disease in this case was a feature of the patient's spondylitis rather than a manifestation of the peripheral joint arthritis which commonly occurs in patients with ulcerative colitis.

Aneurysmal bone cysts of the jaws: a case study and review of the literature.

Although first documented in 1958, the definitive explanation of the etiology and pathogenesis of the aneurysmal bone cyst has yet to be elucidated. This may be attributable to the relatively small number of cases contained within the literature. The following report and review of the pertinent literature is presented to add to the current body of knowledge on the subject.

Maxillomandibular fixation with minihooks: a clinical evaluation.

This article provides the clinical evaluation of a simple but effective method of maxillomandibular fixation that eliminates the morbidity attendant to the conventional methods of maxillomandibular fixation. The indications have been defined on the basis of the clinical experience with this technique.
