Abstract

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate normative values of thedistance between the most lateral point of the articular capsule and the most lateralpoint of the mandibular condyle (LCCD), in children and adolescents. Since the discis not always visible on ultrasound, LCCD measurement is a very practical indirectindicator for evaluating TMJ.Methods: This prospective study evaluated 141 temporomandibular joints distance of141 pediatric individuals with a median age of 9 years (5-13) for boys and 11 years(6.5-14) for girls, comprising 69 boys and 72 girls. LCCD measurements were madewith the participants in the closed mouth position, and the relationship of these valueswith weight, height, age, gender and body mass index (BMI) was evaluated.Results: Median LCCD values in age groups 2 and 3 were significantly higher thanthe age group 1 (p=0.001). There was no significant difference between medianLCCD values in age group 2 and age group 3 (p=0.5). No significant difference wasfound among the median LCCD values of the males 1.5 mm (1.2-1.8) and females1.4 mm (1.1-1.6).Conclusion: LCDD values increased with age, but no significant difference shownamong the genders. However, a negative relation was detected with BMI. Thisstudy provides the normative quantitative values of TMJ distance which could be areference point for upcoming studies. US is a diagnostic method that can be used inthe follow-up and screening of children with TMD risk and general population. Sinceit does not include radiation, it can be safely repeated.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, çocuklarda ve ergenlerde eklem kapsülünün lateral noktası ile mandibular kondilin en lateral noktası (LCCD) arasındaki mesafenin referans değerlerini belirlemektir. Disk ultrasonda her zaman görünmediğinden, LCCD ölçümü temporomandibular eklemi(TME) değerlendirmek için dolaylı bir gösterge olmakla beraber çok pratiktir. Yöntemler: Prospektif çalışmamızda, medyan yaşı erkeklerde 9 (5-13) ve kızlarda 11 (6.5-14) olan, 69 erkek ve 72 kız olgunun toplamda 141 TME mesafesi değerlendirildi. Katılımcılar yaş gruplarına göre 3’e ayrıldı. Ultrasonda yapılan LCCD ölçümlerinin cinsiyet, yaş, boy, kilo, vücut kitle indeksi (VKİ) ile korelasyonı değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Grup 2 ve 3’ün LCCD değeri grup 1’den anlamlı derecede yüksekti (p = 0,001). Ancak Grup 2 ve 3 arasında anlamlı fark yoktu (p = 0,5). LCCD değerleri erkeklerde 1,5 mm (1,2-1,8) ve kızlarda 1,4 mm (1,1-1,6) olarak bulundu. Sonuç: Çalışmamızda LCDD değerleri yaşla birlikte artış göstermekle beraber cinsiyetler arası anlamlı fark saptanmadı. LCCD ile VKİ arasında negatif bir ilişki tespit edildi. Bu çalışma, gelecekteki çalışmalar için referans olabilecek TME mesafesinin normatif değerlerini sağlamaktadır. Ultrason, temporomandibular hastalık riski olan çocukların ve genel popülasyonun tarama ve takibinde kullanılabilecek bir tanı yöntemidir. Radyasyon içermediği için güvenle tekrarlanabilir.
