TL;DR
This study uses CBCT scans to evaluate healing after TMJ ankylosis surgery, showing improved joint structure and function.
Contribution
The study introduces CBCT as a reliable imaging method for assessing postoperative healing in TMJ ankylosis.
Findings
Significant improvement in joint morphology was observed post-surgery.
Mandibular function showed marked recovery following the procedure.
CBCT proved effective in evaluating surgical outcomes and bone remodeling.
Abstract
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis is a debilitating disorder marked by fibrous or bony fusion of the joint, resulting in restricted mandibular mobility and impaired oral function. Therefore, it is of interest to assesse healing outcomes following temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis surgery using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Postoperative bone remodeling, joint space and functional recovery were evaluated. Data shows significant improvement in joint morphology and mandibular function, confirming CBCT as a reliable modality for assessing surgical outcomes.
