Acoustic emissions of the temporomandibular joint in children: proof of concept

Assessment of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) can be difficult; clinical signs and symptoms are non-specific (1), examination is challenging and imaging is often necessary (2,3). TMJ disease in children can cause pain and growth disturbances leading to malocclusion and/or skeletal deformities (2,4). The presentation, difficulty in diagnosis, and severity of sequelae of untreated disease present a compelling need for the development of a biomarker for TMJ health (2). Ideally, this biomarker would be objective, Original Article
