Abstract

Background: Although magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) helps to clearly visualize the disorders in temporo-mandibular joint (TMJ), the relationship between cross-sectional and clinical findings has not been precisely established. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between clinical symptoms and MRI findings in individuals with TMJ pain.
