Internal changes of TMJ at young people with different somatotypes

Abstract

Objective: The aim of the current research is to study the somatotype, the state of connective tissue and the appearance of infra-articular changes of temporomandibular joint case at the young patients. Methodology: The current study presents the results of studies of 270 patients with temporomandibular joint case (average age is 26,3±8,0 years old). The attachment to the specific somatotype was established at all patients on the basis of the designation of growth and height indicator. There were made: 270 roentgenograms, 150 computerized tomographies of temporomandibular joint case, 250 magnetic resonance imaging of patients with temporomandibular joint case with arthrosis, temporomandibular joint case arthropathias and dysplasias and the comparative estimate of their diagnostic consideration was determined. Radiological and computerized tomographies symptoms, that are definitive for the specific groups of patients with temporomandibular joint case pathology, were determined. The data of 149 magnetic resonance imaging revealed the infra-articular changes of temporomandibular joint case. Results: The results obtained indicate the presence of a clinic relation and radiological, computerized tomographies and magnetic resonance imaging of temporomandibular joint case semiotics depending on the age and patients bodybuild. People with the asthenic bodybuild were more susceptible to most temporomandibular joint case diseases. Temporomandibular joint case pathology was distributed as follows: patients with arthrosis (58.8%), deforming arthrosis (12.5%), arthropathy (25.0%), temporomandibular joint case dysplasia (3.8%).
