  • Title: A study of temporomandibular joint sounds; Part 1. Relationship with articular disc displacements.
    Author: Motoyoshi M, Ohya M, Hasegawa M, Namura S.
    Journal: J Nihon Univ Sch Dent; 1994 Mar; 36(1):48-51. PubMed ID: 8207504.
    Abstract:
    The relationship between complaints about temporomandibular joint (TMJ) sounds and the prevalence of disc displacements was studied. The rate of incidence of TMJ sounds was 42% in the 50 subjects investigated. In the subjects with TMJ sounds, 19% were diagnosed as having articular disc displacements. In the 58% sound-free subjects, 14% were found to have disc displacements. Therefore, it seems that patients with TMJ sounds do not always have disc displacements, and that a sound-free state does not necessarily indicate a healthy TMJ.
