title: [The diagnosis and orthodontic relevance of anterior disk displacement without reduction. Clinical, axiographic and magnetic resonance tomographic studies].
abstract: Magnet resonance imaging was used to diagnose 24 temporomandibular joints of 18 patients as having anterior disk displacement without reduction. By comparing clinical functional analysis, axiography, and magnet resonance imaging it was demonstrated that a valid diagnosis could be made on the basis of magnet resonance imaging alone. Former joint clicking and limitation and a dental Angle Class II were diagnostic indications of a disk displacement without reduction. Because of often only slight clinical symptoms or their absence, there is always a danger that disk displacement without reduction will go undiagnosed. In relation to orthodontic therapy, such patients are at risk, because pain can arise during treatment.
