This study was performed to clarify the mechanism of clicking sound and locking on temporomandibular joint and to determine the radiographic findings of them by using computed tomogram. Through the preliminary study with cadavers, the proper scanning condition and the correlatonship between the anatomy of cadaver and computed tomogram had been determined. The subjects were consisted of 10 controls and 16 patients having clicking sound or locking on temporomandibular joint. By using Hitachi-W500 as computed tomographic device, direct axial views and sagittal views reformed according to the changes in window setting and using the non-linear fraction were taken and analyzed by visual method and measuring the attenuation numbers. The obtained results were as follows: 1. The density of the anterior band of meniscus showed isodense to the surrounding muscles in normal. 2. In patient group, affected side showed increased radiopaque area anterior to condyle and underneath articular eminence as the feature of anteriorly displaced meniscus on axial and sagittal views. 3. In patient group, the condyle was rotated postero-laterally in affected side. 4. Non-linear fraction highlightened the feature of anteriorly displaced meniscus.

There are various modalities in the treatment of facial asymmetry, but in severe case with TMD by actively growing deformed condyle, the treatment choice is removing the condyle growth center and TMD symptom such as click or muscular discomfort. In our one case, the patient was complain of facial asymmetry. There are severe deformed condyle head with bird-head fashion and enlarged mandibular ramus and body vertically about 18 mm, overgrowthed Rt. mandible body horizontally about 20 mm. She had intermittent Lt. TMJ clicking and muscular discomfort. The author diagnosed it as Lt. hemimandibular hyper-plasia & R, hemimandibular elongation, a combination form with TMD. the condyle was in active growing state in scintigraphic analysis. So we extirpated the deformed condyle by intrasoral sagittal split ramus osteotomy and reshaped the condyle and mandibular distal fragment extraorally. The distal fragment was readapted in glenoid fossa and fixated. In Rt. mandibular body area, autogenous onlay bone graft on the inferior border of mandible was performed to correct the asymmetry. The clicking and facial asymmetry was corrected and we report this results with other literature findings.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to find the predictors for successful arthrocentesis for anterior disc displacement without reduction(ADD without Reduction) of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Patients and Methods : Arthrocentesis and lavage was carried out in 25TMJs of 22patients whose MRI findings were all anterior disc displacement without reduction. The effectiveness of the treatment was evaluated in terms of the postoperative range of maximal mouth opening (MMO) and the degree of postoperative pain score. Predectors which was analyzed were age, duration of painful locking, MMO, the degree of pain, perioperative clicking and the amounts of irrigation fluid. Results: 18cases (72%) was included to criteria for success. There were no significant differences in age, duration of locking, MMO and the degree of pain statistically. But In 15cases(83%) of successful cases, amouts of irrigated solution recovered to normal MMO were less than 150ml. And In 8cases (44%) of successful cases, perioperative clicking was appeared. Conclusion : Amounts of irrigated solution recovered to normal MMO and the appeareance of perioperative clkicking may be predictors of the successful results of arthrocenetesis of ADD without reduction of TMJ.

이상에서 저자들은 하악관절과두와 유사한 형태를 보이는 편측성과 양측성 오훼돌기 변형증의 가각의 원인, 성장형태, 발현연령과 성별 및 발생기전등에 대해서 문헌 고찰을 해보 았다. 본 증례에서도 정확한 원인은 알 수 없지만 환자의 과거 병력상 우축 악관절의 외상으로 추정된다. 외고작으로 exploration시 coronoidotemporal area에서 또 다른 관절의 양상을 보여 주어 이중관절을 이루고 있었으며 오훼돌기의 절제와 함께 물리치료 후 환자는 개구시 악골의 심한 우측 악관절의 관절잡음도 들리지 않았다. 현재 환자에게서 볼 수 있는 안면비대칭은 향후 주기적인 관찰과 성장 여력에 의해 개선이 기대되지만 추후 악교정 수술이 필요할 수도 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Elongated styloid syndrome (ESS) can present with myriad symptoms that mimic common features of orofacial pain, such as temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJDs), often causing a challenge and delay in diagnosis. We report the case of a 52-year-old male with a three-year history of non-painful clicking during jaw movement initially diagnosed as TMJD-related internal derangement. The patient presented with a history of annoying jaw sounds for three years, described as a popping sound without bilateral clicking or crepitation. Tinnitus and progressive hearing loss were observed in the right ear, and a hearing aid was recommended by an otolaryngologist. The patient was initially diagnosed with TMJD and managed accordingly; nevertheless, his symptoms persisted. Imaging revealed prominent bilateral styloid process elongation that exceeded the recognized cut-off level of >30 mm for elongation. The patient was informed of his diagnosis and its treatment but opted only for further swallowing and auditory assessments of his ear and nose symptoms. Clinicians should consider including ESS as a differential diagnosis in patients presenting with non-specific chronic orofacial symptoms for timely diagnosis and favorable clinical outcomes.

The author obtained the oblique lateral trans cranial radiograms from 376 patients (114 of male, and 262 of female) with temporomandibular joint arthrosis. After tracing each film, the author analyzed the dimensional changes of the condylar heads with pain, clicking, mouth opening limitation, and masticatory difficulty respectively, which were the chief complaints of the TMJ arthrosis and compared these data with control group. The results were as follows; 1. There was a great predilection for occurrence of the TMJ arthrosis in female (262 cases) over male (114 cases). But there was no significant difference in ratio between the sexes on each symptom. In male, 60 patients (52.6%) had pain, 28 patients (24.6%) had clicking, 21 patients (18.4%) had mouth opening limitation, and 5 patients (4.4%) had masticatory difficulty. In female, 148 parients (56.5%) had pain, 57 patients (21.8%) had clicking, 47 patients (17.9%) had mouth opening limitation, and 10 patients (3.8%) had masticatory difficulty. 2. Examined controlled group, the author analyzed the dimension of W-W', 0-H, 0-A, 0-B on the right side first, and left side second. In male, the dimension of W-W' was 14.52㎜, 14.13㎜; 0-H was 13.92㎜, 13. 71㎜' 0-A was 8.91㎜, 9.0㎜ and 0-B was 8.67㎜, 8.78㎜. In female, W-W' was 13.77㎜, 13.51㎜; 0-H was 13.42㎜, 13.35㎜; 0-A was 8.92㎜, 9.01㎜; and 0-B was 8.59㎜, 8.80㎜. 3. W-W' and 0-H of the experimental group were distinctly lesser than the controlled group. Male with mouth opening limitation show the least (12.70㎜, 13.00㎜) on W-W', but both sexes with pain show the least on 0-H. There was no significant difference between experimental group with Clicking and controlled group on 0-H, 0-A, and 0-B. And also there was no difference on 0-B in patients with every symptom except masticatory difficulty. The dimensional changes of the condylar heads with those symptoms were as follows; a) In male patients, complaing of pain, W-W' of the right and left was 13.80㎜, 12.80㎜; 0-H was 13.10㎜, 12.90㎜; 0-A was 8.69㎜, 8.18㎜; 0-B was 8.33㎜, 8.42㎜. In female, W-W' was 13.01㎜, 12.90㎜; 0-H was 12.48㎜, 12.80㎜; 0-A was 8.60㎜, 8.49㎜; 0-B was 8.48㎜, 8.50㎜. b) In male patients with clicking, W-W' was 13.70㎜, 13.10㎜; 0-H was 13.90㎜, 13.10㎜; 0-A was 8.81㎜, 8.16㎜ 0-B was 8.34㎜, 8.25㎜. In female, W-W' was 13.10㎜, 13.50㎜; 0-H was 13.30㎜, 12.91㎜; 0-A was 8.95㎜, 8.49㎜; 0-B was 8.23㎜, 8.70㎜. c) In male patients with mouth opening limitation, W-W' was 12.70㎜, 13.00㎜; 0-H was 13.40㎜, 13.40㎜; 0-A was 8.37㎜, 8.48㎜; 0-B was 8.33㎜, 8.62㎜. In female, W-W' was 13.00㎜, 12.50㎜ 0-H was 12.90㎜, 13.10㎜; 0-A was 8.49㎜, 8.09㎜; 0-B was 8.77㎜, 8.01㎜. d) In male patients with masticatory difficulty, W-W' was 13.30㎜, 13.20㎜; 0-H was 13.40㎜, 12.60㎜; 0-A was 8.26㎜, 8.32㎜; 0-B was 7.80㎜, 8.20㎜. In female, W-W' was 12.30㎜, 12.00㎜; 0-H was 13.10㎜, 13.20㎜; 0-A was 8.68㎜, 7.95㎜; 0-B was 7.46㎜, 7.87㎜.

목적: 단순악관절 진동군에서 좌/우 진동 중 유의한 진동의 감별법을 연구하는 것이다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 단순악관절 진동만을 갖고 있고 측두하악관절 질환의 제 증상이 없는 단순악관절 진동그룹 30명의 60개 관절에서 44쌍의 진동을 기록하였고 대상자의 인지와 검사자의 촉진, JVA 검사 결과를 비교하였다. JVA로 기록된 진동의 주파수 스펙트럼, 진동파형 시간차 위상변위 분석, 수치 분석을 통해 좌/우 진동 중 유의한 진동을 감별하였다. 결과: JVA 분석결과 양측성 진동은 한 건도 없었으며 유의한 편측 진동은 42개로 감별되었다. 시간차 위상변위를 보이는 것은 11쌍이었고 이 중 한 쌍을 제외한 모든 진동에서 전달된 측의 진동이 발생측 진동보다 진동 총에너지(total integral) 값은 더 작고 > 300 / < 300 ratio는 같거나 더 큰 특징을 보이는 것을 관찰하였다. 또한 진동 총에너지 값이 10 이하로 작고 시간차 위상변위를 보이지 않아 좌/우 감별의 근거가 모호한 나머지 진동 모두에서 진동 총에너지 값이 더 작은 쪽의 > 300 / < 300 ratio가 더 큼을 관찰하여 이를 좌/우 감별의 근거로 삼을 수 있었다. 결론: JVA로 좌/우 진동 중 유의한 진동을 감별하기 위해서는 주파수 스펙트럼, 시간차 위상변위 및 수치 분석 등이 모두 고려되어야 한다.

본 연구는 측두하악관절장애의 증상을 보이는 환자들의 $SONOPAK^*$을 통한 관절잡음의 분석결과와 자기공명영상 사진의 판독결과를 비교함으로써 SONOPAK의 악관절내장증에 대한 진단적 가치를 평가하기 위해 시행되었다. 연구대상은 측두하악관절장애 증상을 보이는 18명의 성인환자(남자 5명, 여자 13명)로 평균연령은 남,녀 각각 22.1세, 24.3세였다. 소아용 청진기를 사용하여 임상적인 clicking 및 crepitus의 유,무를 기록하였으며 SONOPAK을 사용하여 관절잡음을 기록하고 spectral analysis를 통해서 악관절내장증 단계에 대한 SONOPAK의 분석결과를 얻었다. 또한 모든 환자에서 자기공명영상사진을 촬영하여 그 판독결과를 SONOPAK의 해석결과와 비교하여 아래와 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 자기공명영상사진상 관절원판이 정상적인 위치와 형태를 보이는 경우 SONOPAK에 의한 false positive 진단은 없었다. 2. 자기공명영상사진상 관절원판의 전방전위를 보인 경우에는 정복성이나 비정복성 관절원판 전방전위 모두에서 SONOPAK 분석결과와 일치하지 않은 빈도가 높았다. 3. clicking의 유무만으로 관절원판의 정복성 전방전위와 비점복성 전방전위를 감별진단하거나, 관절잡음의 성질로 악관절내장증의 단계를 판정하는 것은 적절하지 못하며 임상증세, 자기공명영상사진등을 포함한 보조적 진단검사의 자료를 종합하여 판단할 때 SONOPAK의 관절잡음 분석결과의 진단적 가치는 증대될 수 있다고 사료된다.
