Abstract:
The aim of this study was to examine the lateral pterygoid muscle (LPM) parenchyma, myotendinous junction, and tendon in temporomandibular disorder (TMD) patients using 3T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Results were compared with findings reported in the literature, in which the LPM has been attributed a major role in triggering TMD. 3T MRI was used for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) imaging. The MRI images of 63 patients were analysed for muscle contracture and atrophy, tendon rupture, signal...     »
