Background: The causes of mandibular condylar hypoplasia can be congenital or acquired in nature. Cited local causes of acquired hypoplasia include trauma, infection and irradiation. We report a case of hypoplastic condyle that was attributed to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc displacement without reduction (DDwoR). Clinical Presentation: A 16-year-old male presented with restricted mouth opening and right TMJ pain for 6 months. He was subsequently diagnosed with DDwoR. Conservative treatment comprising self-care and moist-heat therapy was administered and he was followed for 27 months without any further interventions. During this period, transitions from “normal” morphology to condylar flattening / erosion, and eventually a re-modeled smaller “normal” right TMJ were observed. Conclusion: The present case provided initial support that DDwoR could be a plausible cause of condylar hypoplasia in adolescents / young adults.

Objetive: This study was to compare the effectiveness of arthrocentesis versus the insertion of anterior repositioning splint (ARS) in improving the mandibular range of motion (MRM) for patients with the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) anterior disc displacement with reduction (ADDwR). Methods: 36 patients diagnosed as ADDwR were recruited and divided randomly into two groups. The first group (G1) was treated by arthrocentesis, and the second (G2) was treated using ARS. All patients were reexamined after six months. Results: Except that for protrusive movement, there were significant differences between the two groups for the percentage changes of the MRM as measured by the amount of pain free opening, unassisted opening, maximum assisted opening, right lateral and left lateral movements (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Within the context of the current study, the non-invasive, lower cost ARS, provided better results in improving the MRM when managing ADDwR cases.   Keywords Arthrocentesis; Anterior repositioning splint; TMD; Internal derangement; Anterior disc displacement; Mandibular range of motion.

The study aimed at assessing the effectiveness of the RA.DI.CA. splint in the management of temporomandibular joint disc displacement without reduction (ADDwoR) and jaw functional limitation. The authors developed a retrospective clinical study. A total of 2739 medical records were screened. One hundred and forty-one patients with chronic unilateral disc displacement without reduction and jaw limitation, treated with a multifunctional RA.DI.CA. splint, were enrolled. Temporomandibular pain, headache, familiar pain, neck pain, and emotional strain, maximum spontaneous mouth opening, and lateral excursions were evaluated at baseline (T0), after therapy (T1), and during the follow-up (T2). Descriptive statistical analysis was performed. Wilcoxon test assessed changes in symptomatology and functional aspects before and after treatment and between T1 and T2, with p < 0.05. Ninety-nine patients (70%) declared themselves “healed” from jaw functional limitation with no residual painful symptoms, 31 (22%) improved their symptoms and jaw function, 11 (8%) reported no changes compared to T0 and no one worsened. As for all parameters analyzed, the comparison between the ones before and after treatment was statistically significant (p < 0.05). The RA.DI.CA. splint proved to be highly performing and promoting functional and symptomatologic recovery, also in the medium and long term, through the restoration of the functional disc-condyle relationship and the healing of joint tissues.
