  • Title: Inferior joint space arthrography and characteristics of condylar paths in internal derangements of the TMJ.
    Author: Farrar WB, McCarty WL.
    Journal: J Prosthet Dent; 1979 May; 41(5):548-55. PubMed ID: 286048.
    Abstract:
    Inferior joint space arthrography and measurements of the condylar path provide scientific documentation of derangement of the TMJ disc and condyle. These derangements are described as an anterior displacement of the disk associated with posterior-superior displacement of the condyle when the teeth are closed into the intercuspal position. Clinical studies demonstrate that approximately 70% of a TMJ patient population present with some type or stage of these derangements. These observations have far-reaching implications regarding contemporary dental curriculum, particularly concerning exegesis of the MPD syndrome theory and concepts of dysfunctional dental occlusion.
