Long-term Follow up of TMJ Surgery and Evaluation of the 6-month Control as a Prognostic Marker.

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Procedure
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the long-term outcome of surgical intervention (arthroscopy or discectomy) due to the diagnoses temporomandibular joint disc displacement with or without displacement. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does the surgical outcome recorded at the earlier 6-month follow up persist at the long-term follow up approximately 10 years postoperatively? * How does the radiologically determined degree of joint degeneration change with time in patients that have had joint surgery? Researchers will compare the six-month surgical outcome to the ten-year outcome to see if temporomandibular joint surgery results are stable over time. Participants with an earlier performed joint surgery will: * Have a clinical examination approximately ten years postoperatively. * Have a temporomandibular joint x-ray scan performed (cone-beam computed tomography).

Treatments
Surgically treated patients due to temporomandibular joint disc displacment
The cohort has already been operated (arthroscopy or discectomy) due to temporomandibular joint disc displacement during the years 2014-2017, then participating in a prospective cohort study mainly focusing on surgical outcome predictors (ethical approval: 2014/622-31/1 and 2014/764-31/2). These patients will now be offered a clinical and radiological examination approximately 10 years postoperative.
