CBCT characteristics and interpretation challenges of temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis in a hand osteoarthritis cohort.

CONCLUSIONS:: TMJ changes were common in elderly with hand OA and characterized by bone productive changes. The radiologic features indicated a late stage TMJ OA. Interpretation challenges related to subtle changes were identified and are reflected by the rather low observer agreement. The diagnosis of TMJ OA should be based on evident and clear abnormalities only. PMID: 30633546 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
