Synovial chondromatosis of the temporomandibular joint is a disease which occurs rarely. A systematic review of the literature was carried out to identify its demographical, etiological, radiological, and clinical characteristics. A total of 191 case presentations were discovered. The mean age of patients was 47. The disease has been identified more frequently in women than in men. A part from pre-auricular swelling, the most frequently reported clinical characteristics resembled those of temporomandibular disorders. Abnormalities on radiographs were often evident. Insufficient evidence was found that trauma or rheumatoid arthritis plays a role in the development of this disease. Given the similarities with temporomandibular disorders, synovial chondromatosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients suffering from complaints of temporomandibular dysfunction. |
