MRI assessment and histopathologic evaluation of subchondral bone remodeling in temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis: a retrospective study

ConclusionsMRI is an effective technique to evaluate the pathologic changes of TMJOA.

Therefore, the evidence of MRI should be seen as a reference standard for the choice of nonsurgical or surgical therapy in the management of TMJOA.
