AB  - Aims: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings and clinical outcomes following arthrocentesis in patients with temporomandibular joint disorders.Methods: A total of 67 patients who had been diagnosed with disc position abnormalities and degenerative temporomandibular joint conditions based on the Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (DC/TMD), had preoperative MRI scans, and were treated with arthrocentesis were included in the study. The recorded preoperative variables included age, sex, pain, and maximum mouth opening (MMO). Degree of disc displacement and joint effusion were assessed using preoperative magnetic resonance images. Bone changes were evaluated using both preoperative magnetic resonance and panoramic radiography images. Arthrocentesis was considered successful when the MMO exceeded 35 mm and the pain score was less than 3.Results: At the 1-week and 3-month follow-ups, clinical examinations showed a significant reduction in temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain and an increase in MMO (p

N2  - Amaç: Bu çalışma, temporomandibular eklem bozukluğu olan hastalarda preoperatif manyetik rezonans görüntüleme (MRG) bulguları ile artrosentez sonrası klinik sonuçlar arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırmayı amaçlamaktadır.Yöntem: Bu retrospektif çalışmaya DC/TMD kriterlerine göre disk deplasmanı (reduksiyonlu veya reduksiyonsuz) ve dejeneratif eklem hastalığı tanısı konulan, artrosentez uygulanmış ve preoperatif MRG’si bulunan 67 hasta dahil edilmiştir. Cinsiyet, yaş, ağrı şiddeti ve maksimum ağız açıklığı (MMO) işlem öncesi klinik değişkenler olarak kaydedildi. Preoperatif manyetik rezonans görüntüleri değerlendirilerek disk deplasman derecesi ve efüzyon derecesi belirlendi. Kemik değişikliği derecesi ise preoperatif manyetik rezonans ve panoramik radyografi görüntüleri değerlendirilerek belirlendi. Artrosentez işleminin başarısı için, 35 mm'den fazla MMO ve 3'ten düşük ağrı şiddeti kriter olarak belirlendi.Bulgular: Hastaların 1 haftalık ve 3 aylık takip sonuçları temporomandibular eklem (TME) ağrısında belirgin bir azalma ve MMO'da belirgin bir artış olduğunu gösterdi (P
