A magnetic resonance imaging studyof the temporomandibular joint and the disc...Abu-Hussein Muhamad
Causative correction of skeletal malocclusions is achieved through bite–jumping by various means. Numerous animal experiments yielded evidence of rebuilt temporomandibular structures after mandibular protrusion. However, the mode and extent of structural and/or topographic changes of the disco-condylar relation after functional orthopaedic treatment is still an issue at stake. A problem exists in defining the physiologic (centric) position of the condyles and the proper disco-condylar relation which is tentatively determined by various methods particularly in MRI studies. Despite the high resolution provided, the results have to be interpreted with caution, as osseous resorption and apposition can not be assessed by visual evidence. In this article a prospective study is presented which proves the effectiveness of the “Wuerzburg concept“, i.e. bionator plus extraoral traction and up-and-down elastics, and its impact on the temporomandibular joint. The underlying reactions are studied by means of MR images obtained from sucessfully treated patients.

DISSERTATION on NEW DRUG DISCOVERY AND DEVELOPMENT STAGES OF DRUG DISCOVERYNEHA GUPTA
The process of drug discovery and development is a complex and multi-step endeavor aimed at bringing new pharmaceutical drugs to market. It begins with identifying and validating a biological target, such as a protein, gene, or RNA, that is associated with a disease. This step involves understanding the target's role in the disease and confirming that modulating it can have therapeutic effects. The next stage, hit identification, employs high-throughput screening (HTS) and other methods to find compounds that interact with the target. Computational techniques may also be used to identify potential hits from large compound libraries.
Following hit identification, the hits are optimized to improve their efficacy, selectivity, and pharmacokinetic properties, resulting in lead compounds. These leads undergo further refinement to enhance their potency, reduce toxicity, and improve drug-like characteristics, creating drug candidates suitable for preclinical testing. In the preclinical development phase, drug candidates are tested in vitro (in cell cultures) and in vivo (in animal models) to evaluate their safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics. Toxicology studies are conducted to assess potential risks.
Before clinical trials can begin, an Investigational New Drug (IND) application must be submitted to regulatory authorities. This application includes data from preclinical studies and plans for clinical trials. Clinical development involves human trials in three phases: Phase I tests the drug's safety and dosage in a small group of healthy volunteers, Phase II assesses the drug's efficacy and side effects in a larger group of patients with the target disease, and Phase III confirms the drug's efficacy and monitors adverse reactions in a large population, often compared to existing treatments.
After successful clinical trials, a New Drug Application (NDA) is submitted to regulatory authorities for approval, including all data from preclinical and clinical studies, as well as proposed labeling and manufacturing information. Regulatory authorities then review the NDA to ensure the drug is safe, effective, and of high quality, potentially requiring additional studies. Finally, after a drug is approved and marketed, it undergoes post-marketing surveillance, which includes continuous monitoring for long-term safety and effectiveness, pharmacovigilance, and reporting of any adverse effects.

ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.drhasanrajab
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.
4. Anatomy of TMJ
• TMJ is a ginglymo-diarthroidal joint that is freely mobile with superior
and inferior joint spaces separated by articular disc.
• “Ginglymus” meaning a hinge joint, allowing motion only backward and
forward in one plane,
• “Arthrodia” meaning a joint of which permits a gliding motion of the
surfaces
27-04-2021
5. Components of TMJ
• 1. Glenoid Fossa & Articular Eminence/Protuberance
• 2. Mandibular Condyle
• 3. Articular Disk & Capsule
• 4. Synovial Fluid
• 5. Discal Ligaments
• 6. Posterior Attachment or Retrodiscal Tissue or Bilaminar Zone
• 7. Ligaments associated with TMJ
• 8. Muscles of Mastication
27-04-2021
9. Plain radiography( Transcranial)
Most common and most well-established plain film technique for TMJ
This disadvantage is partly compensated for by the fact that most of the early
osseous changes occur laterally in the joint.
It visualize the sagittal view of the lateral aspects of condyle and temporal
component. It is taken in open and close mouth positions.
TMJ Imaging: A Review .Irfan Ashraf Baba..International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research ,

20. Panormic radiography
• Panoramic radiography does not appear in the list of imaging techniques
provided by RDC/TMD.
• Only the lateral part of the condyle can be assessed with this technique,
being limited due to the superimposition of the zygomatic arch and the
base of the skull .
• Panoramic radiography can help evaluate the following:
IMAGING MODALITIES FOR TEMPOROMANDIBULAR JOINT DISORDERS: AN UPDATE .DANIEL TALMACEANU et. Clujul Medical Vol. 91, No. 3, 2018: 280-287
Degenerative bone changes (only in late stages; it is inadequate for
the early detection of osseous modifications);
• asymmetries of the condyles,
• hyperplasia, hypoplasia;
• trauma and tumors
• Thick image layers
27-04-2021
21. The panoramic radiography does not reveal the functional status of the joint
and has a relatively low specificity and sensitivity when compared with CT .

22. Computed Tomography
• First used for TMJ evaluation in 1980 .
• CT is considered to be the best method for assessing osseous pathologic
conditions of TMJ. It allows a multi planar reconstruction , obtaining 3D
images in closed and opened-mouth positions .
• Signs of degenerative changes in the joint, like surface erosions,
osteophytes, remodeling, subcortical sclerosis, can be evaluated .
• Basically focus on : intactness of the cortex, normal size and shape of the
condyles and their centered position in the fossa, the adequate joint
spaces, centric relation loading zone.

29. MRI
• MRI is currently considered the reference method for imaging the soft
tissue structures of the TMJ (articular disc, synovial membrane, lateral
pterygoid muscle) .
• The best imaging modality in diagnosing disc displacements .
• MRI could also detect the early signs of TMJ dysfunction, like thickening of
anterior or posterior band, rupture of retrodiscal tissue, changes in shape
of the disc, joint effusion .
27-04-2021
30. • Images can be obtained in all planes (sagittal, axial, coronal).
• T1 weighted images – osseous tissue
• T2 – Inflammation and joint effusion.
• PD (proton density) – Visualize disc condyle relationship.
27-04-2021
31. • The slice thickness is important for image quality.
• The most frequent used section thickness is 3 mm. Reducing the slice
thickness improves the quality of the images, but requires longer scanning
time .

34. Limitation of MRI
• The disadvantages of the MRI investigation-
1. It is costly and time consuming;
2. Restricted use in patients with claustrophobia;
3. There is a possibility of missing the portion of condyle having a pseudo
cyst .
27-04-2021
35. Ultrasonography
• It was first used for TMJ exploration in 1991, by Nabeih et al, using a 3.5
MHz transducer .
• Scanning transducer of 7.5–12 MHz frequency is presently used.
• Patient sits in semi reclining position.
• The transducer is placed over the joint parallel to the long axis of the
mandible.
• The disc is situated between two hyperechoic lines represented by the
mandibular condyle and the articular eminence .

36. • During the examination it is possible to directly observe the joint disk
move when the mouth is opening and closing.
• If the disc is displaced in the closed-mouth position, the diagnosis is
disc displacement. If the disc returns to its normal position during
opening, the diagnosis is disc displacement with reduction
• A 70–85 % agreement was seen in studies comparing the results of
MRI and USG.

38. Arthrography
• Nørgaard in the 1940s.
• Arthrography is indicated for an evaluation of the soft-tissue components
of the TMJ, especially disk position, function, and morphology in those
patients presenting with a suspected internal derangement .
Single
contrast
• Radiopaque dye is injected
in both joint spaces.
Double
contrast
• Small amount of air is
injected after dye

39. Radionuclide imaging
• It is based on radiotracer method, which assumes that radioactive atoms or
molecules in an organism behave in a manner identical to that their stable
counterparts because they are chemically indistinguishable .
• The TMJ is ideal for SPECT (single proton emission computed tomography), as
TMJ is a small joint situated close to the skull base.
• In normal individual, the perfusion is symmetrical .
• Sensitivity is high, its specificity is low.
• Inflammation, trauma or tumors increase the local isotope concentration.
• Use as a screening method.

52. Pneumatization
• Extensive pneumatization of the mastoid bone can involve the glenoid
fossa and articular eminence.
• Important to know before any TMJ surgery
• Complications can occur during TMJ surgery due to forceful flap retraction,
dissection or with placement of screws in cases where fossa-eminence
prostheses are required.
27-04-2021
53. Internal derangements of TMJ
• Internal derangement (ID) is defined as a mechanical fault of the joint that
interferes with smooth joint function.
• Disc displacement is the most common cause of ID.
• Up to 34% of asymptomatic volunteers can have anterior disc displacement
and 23% of patients with derangement can have normal disc positon.
• The displacement can be anterior, anterolateral, anteromedial, lateral,
medial and posterior.
• Anterior disc displacement can be – with reduction (ADR)
without reduction.(ADNR)

54. • On MRI, the normal disc has a low signal intensity relative to the signal
from the joint space immediately surrounding it.
• In other words, the disc signal is lower (i.e., darker). In contrast, the signal
intensity of the posterior attachment is usually higher (i.e.,brighter).
• the normal biconcave disc has a “bow tie” shape
• In the closed mouth position, the normal disc is positioned with the thick
posterior band located either directly superior to or slightly anterior to the
condylar head.(12 ‘o clock)
• The thin intermediate zone of the disc is located anterior to the condyle.
• In all positions of mouth opening, the thin intermediate zone should
remain the articulating surface of the disc between the condyle and the
articular eminence.
27-04-2021
56. ADR
• Disc returns to normal position
on opening the mouth
producing “reciprocal click”
ADNR
• There is limited mouth opening
and deviation of the jaw to the
affected side(closed lock)

61. Osteochondritis dissecans and avascular
necrosis
• Common clinical features of OCD/AVN of the mandibular condyle
include pain and joint disability. Pain is commonly over the joint and
along the third division of the trigeminal nerve.
• Radiologic changes of OCD and AVN of the mandibular condyle are
frequently associated with joint effusion and internal derangement of
the disc.
27-04-2021

66. TMJ osteoarthritis(DJD)
• Breakdown of the articulating fibrocartilage covering the bony components
of the joint leading to eventual deterioration of the osseous structures.
• DJD is thought to occur when the ability of the joint to adapt to excessive
joint loading forces.

67. Imaging feature of TJD
• Osseous changes in DJD are more accurately depicted on CT images.
• manifest as small to large “bites” or “scoops” out of the articulating
surfaces of the joint, resulting in loss of the continuity of the cortices and
eventual loss of bone volume.

74. Rheumatoid arthritis
• heterogeneous group of systemic disorders that manifests as synovial
membrane inflammation in several joints.
• The TMJ becomes involved in approximately 1/2 of affected patients.
• The characteristic imaging findings are a result of villous synovitis, which
leads to formation of synovial granulomatous tissue (pannus) that grows
into fibrocartilage and bone, releasing enzymes that destroy the articular
surfaces and underlying bone.

75. • Patients with TMJ involvement complain of swelling, pain, tenderness,
stiffness on opening, limited range of motion, and crepitus.
• The chin appears receded, and an anterior open bite is a common
finding because the condyles settle in an anterosuperior position as the
articulating components are progressively destroyed.

79. Tumor like condition
• Synovial chondromatosis
• Synovial chondromatosis (SC) is a benign condition with
chondrometaplasia of the synovial membrane and formation of
cartilaginous nodules.
• These nodules can become detached and form loose bodies which later
calcify.
• Synovial chondromatosis typically involves large joints, such as the
knee, hip, and elbow. It is rare in TMJ.
• superior compartment of TMJ
• The radiologic findings of SC include calcified loose bodies, soft tissue
swelling, widening of the joint space, irregularities of the joint surface,
and sclerosis of the glenoid fossa and/or mandibular condyle.

right mandibular condyle. (b) Coronal CT image also shows loose bodies (arrow). It shows bony erosion of glenoid fossa
(arrowhead) and widening of joint space but does not show extra-articular extension. (c) Follow-up CT obtained after 10
months confirms complete removal of intra-articular mass and calcifications and the absence of recurrence

81. (a) T1 weighted (W) sagittal image shows multiple loose bodies, most of which have small and low
signal intensity (SI) within a soft tissue mass (arrows). The soft tissue mass shows high SI because of
fluid collection in it which represents expanded articular cavity. (b) Post-contrast T1W coronal MR image
shows a soft tissue mass (arrows) expanding into the right temporomandibular joint space.

82. Malignant neoplasm
• Primary /Metastatic
• Primary rare include Chondrosarcoma, Osteosarcoma, Synovial sarcoma
and fibrosarcoma of joint capsule.
• Extrinsic malignant neoplasm may include Salivary gland malignancy,
rhabdomyosarcoma.
• Metastatic lesions originating from breast, kidney, , prostrate, lung and
thyroid .

83. Dislocation
• Condyle outside the mandibular fossa but inside the capsule.
• Bilateral
• Condyle is displaced anteriorly and superiorly
• Inability to close the mouth
• Muscle spasm
• Reduction done by applying pressure in downward and backward
direction.

Radiographic appearances of TMJ anomalies in relation to various imaging
techniques

89. Conclusion
• The reliability of a complex joint such as that of the jaw is the result of a
stable interaction of soft tissue and bony structures. In spite of its daily
exposure to wear and tear, simple changes in the TMJ are rare.
• Imaging of TMJ should be performed on a case by case basis
depending upon clinical signs and symptoms.
• Understanding of the TMJ anatomy, biomechanics, and the imaging
manifestations of diseases is important to accurately recognize and
manage these various pathologies.
