Diagnostic ultrasound assessment of temporomandibular joints: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

CONCLUSION:: This systematic review demonstrated the US has acceptable capability to screen for DD and JE in TMD patients. For screening of condylar changes, US needs further studies using CT or CBCT as reference standard to support its use. More advanced imaging such as MRI can thereafter be used to confirm the diagnosis if deemed necessary. PMID: 30285469 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
