Dr. Nitzanin in Israel: Clenching increases intra-articular pressures to exceed the perfusion pressure of blood & thereby leads to inadequate nutrition of tissues. Increased intra-articular pressure causes the release of free radicals that destroy lubricant which results in stickiness, pulling & tearing of elastin & lateral ligament.

80% TMJ involvement according to International Still’s Disease foundation; Still’s disease is one type of Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA) and is also known as systemic-onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis; Still’s disease is a form of arthritis that is characterized by high spiking fevers and evanescent (transient) salmon-colored rash
Sequestra(dead bone), Differential: joint aspiration, unilateral with clinical symptoms of infection, joint effusion, abscess, muscle enlargement
A 24-year-old male presented to the emergency department with periauricular swelling, erythema, fever, myalgia, and generalized joint pain that had been present for 2–3 weeks, the patient had a large swelling and tenderness in his left periauricular area, with erythema and deviation of the right mandible. This limited the patient's ability to open the mouth to about 10-15 mm. His white blood cell count was elevated at 22.5 × 103 cells/ml; Magnetic resonance imaging was then ordered and a large left TMJ effusion was seen [Figure 2]. Two milliliters of turbid(cloudy, opaque) fluid was withdrawn from the joint space via needle aspiration
Synovial chondromatosis (SC) is an uncommon articular disorder characterised by synovial metaplasia with intra-articular proliferation of cartilaginous nodules originating from the synovial membrane. This disorder usually affects large joints and is rarely observed in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), confirmed by histopathological analysis ; Differential: Chondrocalcinosis- larger nodules, affects peripheral cortex; Synovial chondromatosis- larger, loose bodies;
Chondro/osteosarcoma- severe bone destruction; DJD- joint mice

T1 weighted (W) sagittal image shows multiple loose bodies, most of which have small and low signal intensity (SI) within a soft tissue mass (arrows). The soft tissue mass shows high SI because of fluid collection in it which represents expanded articular cavity. (b) Post-contrast T1W coronal MR image shows a soft tissue mass (arrows) expanding into the right temporomandibular joint space. This mass shows peripheral wall enhancement representing thickened synovium. Further, masticator space and pterygoid muscle with solid components are enhanced because of the metaplasia of the synovial tissue.

Patient with joint effusion. The deformed articular disc is anteriorly displaced in closed sagittal proton density-weighted MR image (a, white arrow) and reduced on open sagittal proton density-weighted MR image (b, arrow). Superior joint space effusion was revealed on T2weighted image sequence (c, arrow) and the temporal posterior attachment could be visualized in closed sagittal proton density-weighted MR (a, black arrow). The corresponding cone beam CT image revealed no osseous abnormality in the condylar head (d)

Patient with suspected ankylosis (a). The deformed articular disc is anteriorly displaced in closed sagittal proton density-weighted MR image (a, white arrow) and was not reduced in open sagittal proton density-weighted MR image (b, arrow), there is no sign of joint effusion on T2weighted image sequence (c) and the temporal posterior attachment could be visualized in closed sagittal proton density-weighted MR (a, black arrow). The corresponding cone beam CT image revealed ankylosis in the temporomandibular joint (d, arrow)

Differential: Unilateral condylar hyperplasia
34yearold, otherwise healthy Caucasian male patient was referred to our clinic with the complaint of swelling in the right TMJ for more than 2 years. The last few weeks before presentation, the swelling, discomfort and limitation of mouth opening increased significantly. No pain was present at rest or with mouth opening. Mouth opening was limited to an interincisal distance of 35 mm (Fig. 1). His personal medical history revealed chronic bronchial asthma and periodic sinusitis and an inconspicuous family Coronal CT (bone window) depicts expansion of the right mandibular condyle by a soft tissue cancellous lesion with partial interruption of cortical bone and marked shortening of ascending ramus. Note lack of intraosseous trabeculae or calcification.
Differential: severe DJD has more peripheral bone destruction, osteophytes, no soft tissue swelling or mass; malignant tumors have more central destruction of bone
