Degenerative temporomandibular joint changes associated with recent-onset disc displacement without reduction in adolescents and young adults

This study evaluated the occurrence of degenerative temporomandibular joint (TMJ) changes in adolescents and young adults with recent on-set disc displacement without reduction (DDw/oR) using high-resolution cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). The associations between types of osteoarthrosis (OA) changes and clinical factors including disease duration were also examined. CBCT and clinical data of 300 patients (84.70% females, mean age 20.93±4.77 years) diagnosed with unilateral DDw/oR (≤12 months) based on RDC/TMD were acquired.
