Prevalence of the Third Head of the Lateral Pterygoid Muscle: A Magnetic Resonance Image Study
Provedor de dados: 77
Autores: Pompei Filho,Horácio; Guimarães,Antonio Sergio; Suazo Galdames,Iván Claudio.
The lateral pterygoid muscle (LPM) is important in the physiology and dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which has described the presence of a third head in the lateral pterygoid muscle (THLPM). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of THLPM and its relationship with the TMJ disc through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). It was evaluated 178 MRI of the TMJ of healthy individuals, in images that presented THLPM, and these were defined and measured at the surface inserted into the disc. The prevalence of THLPM was 20.22% (n = 36). Insertion of THLPM was made entirely on the TMJ disc, the average area of insertion was 4.14mm (SD 1.35) in women and 4.67 (SD 2.68) in men, but these differences were not significant. We concluded...

Mandibular Condyle Position in Maximum Mouth Opening: A Magnetic Resonance Imaging Evaluation
Provedor de dados: 77
Autores: Juca,Katharina Fernandes; Suazo Galdames,Iván Claudio; Guimarães,Antonio Sergio.
The purpose of this study was to analyze the condylar position in the maximum mouth opening in a group of individuals with and without temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD) using corrected magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). It was analyzed the MRIs of 200 temporomandibular joint (TMJ) of 100 adults (25 males and 75 females). The images protocol of the MRIs were in corrected sagittal plane T1, with the patient kept at a maximum mouth opening without pain. All the images were obtained parallel to the Frankfurt plane. The images were split by two lines parallel to the upper base of the image which was obtained parallel to the Frankfurt plane, tangential to the articular tubercle and the condyle of each TMJ, and set along the discrepancy of the condylar...
