Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to present the diagnostic importance of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in evaluation of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pathologies that may be associated with the obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patient. MRI is one of the most important tools available for diagnosis and treatment planning patients with TMJ disorders. However, it is estimated that 40–60% of TMJ MRIs are misread by radiologists. The presence of TMJ pathology can contribute to maxillary and mandibular hypoplasia as well as decrease function of the oropharyngeal airway. Therefore, it is important for the oral and maxillofacial surgeon to accurately interpret TMJ MRIs, so that a coexisting TMJ pathology is identified and appropriate treatment protocol is selected to provide stable and predictable outcomes. This chapter presents the MRI findings of the common TMJ pathologies associated with OSA.
