Abstract:

Temporomandibular joint disorders(TMD)are relatively common today and a detailed understanding of the spatial anatomy of temporomandibular joint(TMJ) in its physiological and pathological state can help clinicians diagnose and develop treatment plans. Magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) has the advantage of clear visualization of soft tissues such as the joint disc, but is usually limited to the two-dimensional plane. Three-dimensional reconstruction of TMJ based on MRI can better show the spatial structure through three-dimensional models. However, the current MRI 3D reconstruction technology is not fully mature; the methods are different, and there is no uniform evaluation standard. Therefore, this review summarizes the research on 3D model reconstruction of TMJ based on MRI and is expected to help clinical treatment of TMD.

Key words: temporomandibular joint, temporomandibular joint disorder, magnetic resonance imaging, three-dimensional reconstruction
