Summary: | ABSTRACT
Background
Few ≥ 10‐year follow‐up studies of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) discectomy without replacement in patients with disc displacement (DD) analyse the relationship between the surgery and osteoarthritis (OA) exist.
Objectives
To radiologically evaluate bony joint changes and OA development 10 and 30 years after TMJ discectomy as well as 30‐year clinical outcome.
Methods
Twenty‐two discectomy patients at the University of Oslo, Norway, with records confirming initial TMJ diagnosis and attendance of 10‐year radiological follow‐up were evaluated and eligible for 30‐year follow‐up. Primary variables: discectomy and CT‐/CBCT‐diagnosed OA at follow‐ups. Secondary variables: perioperative TMJ diagnoses and remodelling at follow‐up. Unoperated TMJs (Unop‐TMJs) in unilaterally operated patients were controls. Statistical association and correlation analyses were performed for the 10‐year follow‐up (significance level p |
