The cause is unknown, although it has been suggested that it may be a severe form of degenerative joint disease and that estrogen may be implicated [47]. History: Positive for the following: 1.

Evidence of progressive dental occlusal change with at least one of the following: a. Occlusal facets which cannot be approximated; ? OR b. Change in sequential http://www.selleckchem.com dental occlusal measurement over time (horizontal overjet; vertical overbite; or intercuspal contacts). Imaging: Positive for at least one of the following: 1. CT/CBCT evidence of resorption of part or all of the condyle(s) ? OR 2. Lateral cephalometric change with sequential imaging over time (clockwise mandibular rotation, i.e., increase in mandibular plane angle; increase in ANB) Rheumatologic consultation when needed: 1. Negative for rheumatologic disease, including those in 3B- Systemic arthritides D. OSTEOCHONDRITIS DISSECANS ? (ICD-10?M93��20; ICD-9 732��7) (Sensitivity and specificity have not been established) ? A joint condition in which a piece of cartilage, along with a small bone fragment, break loose from the end of the bone and result in loose osteochondral fragments within the joint. The pathophysiology is unclear. It occurs usually in the knee and elbow and is often related to sports. Case-reports describe the condition in the TMJ [48], but little is known about signs and symptoms. The clinical presentation may be a combination of MG-132 pain, swelling, joint noises, and limitation of jaw movements [49]. History: Positive for at least one of the following: 1.

OSTEONECROSIS ? (ICD-10?M87��08; ICD-9 733��45) (Sensitivity and specificity have not been established) ? Osteonecrosis is a painful condition most commonly affecting the ends of long bones such as the femur. Other common sites include the humerus and the knees. The condition is found in the mandibular condyle on MRI as decreased signal in T1-weighted or proton density images and on T2-weighted images (sclerosis pattern) and can be combined with increased signal on T2 images (edema) [50].
