Is MRI still the gold standard for assessing disc position in Temporomandibular joint disorders? A clinical-Imaging agreement study.

Key Points

The aim is to evaluate the agreement between clinical assessments and MRI findings in assessing disc position.
Conducted clinical assessments using DC/TMD criteria.
Obtained MRI images to compare with clinical findings.
Analyzed agreement levels between clinical and MRI results.
Clinical assessment shows good agreement with MRI findings.
MRI offers additional anatomical insights.
MRI is recommended for specific clinical scenarios only.

Abstract

DC/TMD clinical assessment demonstrates good agreement with MRI findings; however, MRI provides complementary anatomical information and is best reserved for selected clinical scenarios.
