The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the joint of the mandibular condyle with the glenoid fossa of the temporal bone and is the only joint in the head that is responsible for opening and closing movements of the jaw. Cliking is the most frequent symptom indicating temporomandibular joint dysfunction. Several radiographic techniques are used to establish the diagnosis in the examination of the temporomandibular joint. This research was carried out using closed mouth TMJ radiography. The purpose of this study was to determine the height and width of the mandibular condyle and the form of eminence with and without clicking using TMJ radiographs. This research is a descriptive analytic study. The results showed that the average height of the mandibular condyle with clicking was 18,796 mm and without clicking was 22,812 mm. The average width of the mandibular condyle with cliking is 11673mm and without cliking is 11,181mm. The average form of articular eminence with clicking is 36.754 ° and without cliking is 41.081 °. The conclusion of the study was that using the Independent t test there were significant differences in the height of the mandibular condyle and the shape of the articular eminence but there was no significant difference in the width of the mandibular condyle with and without clicking using TMJ radiographs.

Maximal Mouth Opening

This retrospective study investigated the effects of combining manual therapy and acupuncture on the pain and maximal mouth opening (MMO), which were associated with temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD). The 49 TMD patients (15 men, 34 women; mean age = 30.47 years, SD = 13.52 years) were treated with a combination of acupuncture and manual therapy two or three times a week at the hospital. The pain and maximal mouth opening were assessed before and after 1 and 4 weeks of treatment. The combination therapy produced significant changes in pain levels ( p < 0.001) and mouth opening ( p < 0.001). All pairwise non-parametric comparison showed a significant improvement in pain ( p < 0.05 for all pairs) and MMO ( p < 0.05 for all pairs). These findings suggest that combining manual therapy and acupuncture decreases the pain level and increases the MMO of TMD patients. However, future studies should further investigate the efficacy of combined treatment on TMD with more rigorous randomized clinical trials.
