Abstract
Imaging examinations afford more consistent details than clinical evaluation in the investigation process and make the differential diagnosis of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders (TMDs) easier. Aims: This study aimed to check agreement among professionals from different fields of work evaluating TMDs using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and based on ten diagnoses criteria: Position, shape and recapture of joint disk, joint mobility, degenerative changes, bone changes, condyle position, ...
Imaging examinations afford more consistent details than clinical evaluation in the investigation process and make the differential diagnosis of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders (TMDs) easier. Aims: This study aimed to check agreement among professionals from different fields of work evaluating TMDs using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and based on ten diagnoses criteria: Position, shape and recapture of joint disk, joint mobility, degenerative changes, bone changes, condyle position, effusion, intramedullary edema, and avascular necrosis. Methods: An oral and maxillofacial radiologist, a medical radiologist, and a dental surgeon specialized in TMD and orofacial pain interpreted 152 MRI taken from 76 patients. A scenario simulating daily activities was devised, which neither calibration nor discussion of criteria was assessed. Interobserver agreement was measured using the Kappa coefficient. Results: Poor agreement was observed in avascular necrosis; a slight agreement was recorded in form and position of the joint disk, condyle position, effusion; fair agreement in TMJ mobility and disk recapture; moderate to almost perfect agreement in condylar changes, degenerative changes, and intramedullary edema. Conclusion: Professionals from different areas that interpret TMJ disorders using MRI did not agree on the diagnoses, especially for the soft‑tissue changes. ...
