Abstract

The purpose of this project is to study temporomandibular joint (TMJ) osteoarthritis and its relationship with potential predisposing factors by new computational techniques developed to optimize the use of three-dimensional (3D) images. It will be evaluated Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scans of 100 patients (50 women and 50 men) who underwent counterclockwise maxillomandibular advancement surgery, obtained at the following intervals: T1, presurgery; T2, immediately after surgery; and T3, at least 11 months after surgery. The sample will be divided into 2 groups: Group 1, patients with articular disc displacement (DD) who underwent articular disc repositioning surgery; Group 2, patients without DD who did not undergo TMJ surgical intervention. Firstly, it will be tested the validity of a new method for 3D assessment of the mandibular condyles, which proposes voxel-based regional registration and shape correspondence measurements. The proposed method will be applied for assessing condylar changes after mandibular advancement surgery with counterclockwise rotation of the maxillomandibular complex, with or without TMJ surgical intervention. Statistical analysis will be conducted to test the reproducibility of the method; to quantitatively evaluate condylar remodeling in each group; and to identify differences between the groups. The validation and application of the proposed methodology may be useful for diagnosis, risk factors identification, prognosis prediction and surgical outcomes analysis. (AU)
