A member asked:
What does it mean when the posterior band of bilateral tmj articulate disks arent visible due to maceration on an mri? also says irregularities of the mandibular condyle due to osteonecrosis and or degenerative changes?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
The MRI suggests that the disks have been worn down, potentially leading to inflammation of the joint. Maceration is a process in which soft tissues become softened. There may be issues with the bone in the condyle, which is a part of the jaw bone that connects to the TMJ. Osteonecrosis is when the bone tissue has a lack of blood flow, while degenerative changes refer to natural wear and tear.

It means that you have some anatomical changes within the joint. The Dentist that ordered the imaging is the best practitioner to discuss your specific issues
