Thirty-two children were evaluated by means of medical history and physical examination for signs and symptoms of internal derangement (ID) of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and mandibular dysfunction. These children also underwent magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the TMJs. The study was double blind. At clinical examination, 19 patients (59%) had at least one positive finding of ID of the TMJ and/or mandibular dysfunction. MR images of the TMJ obtained in 60 of the 64 TMJs demonstrated 57 normal joints (95%) and three abnormal joints (5%). Two of these three joints had a mild anterior-lateral disk displacement, and one joint had an anterior dislocated disk. There were no false-positive MR examinations. MR imaging failed to depict abnormalities in 16 patients who had positive findings at history and/or physical examination. Although MR imaging may fail to depict ID of the TMJ in some patients, clinical techniques commonly used in population surveys probably overstate the prevalence of ID of the TMJ in children.
