  • Title: Cine MRI of the TMJ: need for initial closed mouth images without the Burnett device.
    Author: Dorsay TA, Youngberg RA.
    Journal: J Comput Assist Tomogr; 1995; 19(1):163-4. PubMed ID: 7822542.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the Burnett device when studying functional and morphologic aspects of internal derangements of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) with cine MRI. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A patient with clicks in the TMJ cycle was studied with dynamic cine MRI both prior to the placement of the Burnett device and with the Burnett device in position. RESULTS: Review of MRI revealed clear anterior displacement of the disk in relation to the condylar head in true closed mouth position without the Burnett device in place. CONCLUSION: Closed mouth off-sagittal imaging of the disk in the closed mouth position should be included prior to appliance placement to detect anterior displacements with very early recapture.
