OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to clarify which findings in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are good predicators of @entity158 in @entity1 with @entity1348 ( @entity1348 ) internal derangement (ID). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Clinical examinations for @entity158 were conducted for suspected @entity1348 ID. MRI scans were taken within a week of clinical examinations. On the oblique-sagittal plane image, readings were obtained in terms of the functional aspect of disc position, degree of displacement, @entity85 , @entity1143 , and @entity571 . Multiple logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify the predictors of @entity158 . RESULTS: A total of 48 @entity1 (96 TMJs) were studied, including 39 female @entity1 and 9 male @entity1 whose ages ranged from 10 to 65 years. The resultant data showed significant correlations between @entity158 and the MR imaging of the degree of disc displacement (P<0.05). The probability of there being @entity158 in moderate to significant cases was 9.69 times higher than in normal cases. No significant correlation was found between mouth opening limitation and MRI findings. CONCLUSION: We identified a significant correlation between clinical symptoms and MRI findings of ID. The degree of anterior disc displacement may be useful for predicting @entity158 in @entity1 with @entity1348 ID.
