DIGITAL RADIOGRAPHIC STUDY OF RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS CHANGES IN TEMPOROMANDIBULAR JOINT
ADEL SALAH EL – DIEN MOHAMMED;
Abstract
This present stubby could be summarized in the following points:
I. Rheumatoid Arthritis is a connective tissue inflammatory disease that affects mainly small joints of the body.
2. Rheumatoid Arthritis could affect males and females with higher tendency in the later. Peak incidence of that disease falls between 4th to sth decades.
3. Rheumatoid Arthritis-affected TMJ is manifested by; periauricular pain, muscular tenderness "mostly temporalis muscle" jaw locking and disability.
4. The most commonly sound experienced on functional movements of an involved TMJ is clicking.
5. Anti-Nuclear-Antibody (A A) is the most reliable test for diagnosis of Rheumatoid Arthritis, while Rheumatoid Factor (RF) test and Anti DNA-Antibody test are perfonned for evaluating the remission and exacerbation of the disease.
6. Erosion is the most predominant radiographic event that could be visualized on condyle, fossa and articular eminence of a rheumatoid arthritis-affected TMJ.
7. Anterior-inferior position of the condyle is the most commonly seen position in rheumatoid arthritis-involved TMJ.
8. Edge enhancement is the most effective option m the digital radiography system. It could widely improve the quality of the digitized image.
9. Radiolucent-radioopaque inversion as well as color-coded isodensity are image manipulation options, which could add further diagnostic values to the digital radiographic system.
