Title: Anterior disc luxation without reduction and condylar morphology

Abstract:

Degenerative diseases of the TMJ can affect the mandibular condyle, glenoid cavity, disc, and articular eminence. Anterior disc dislocation without reduction is a condition that occurs when the disc does not protect the condyle during the rotation and translation movements carried out in mandibular dynamics. The purpose of this presentation is to show that there is a relationship between disc dislocation and the shape of the condyles of the jaw.

Audience Take Away:

• They will know if there is a relationship between the shape of the mandibular condyle and the articular disc
• They will identify patients with advanced condylar pathology
• They will know what type of treatment can be performed on patients with condylar flattening
• General dentists will be able to direct patients to oral and maxillofacial surgeons
