• Abstract Background Static MRI was used as an effective tool for diagnosis of temporomandibular joint dysfunction instead of invasive techniques such as arthroscopy and arthrography. The purpose of this study was to detect whether dynamic MRI can be used instead of static MRI in diagnosis of TMJ dysfunction or not. Results According to disc displacement, anterior disc displacement was detected in 29 joints (36.25%) by both static and dynamic MRIs, and medial and lateral disc displacements were detected only by static MRI. Regarding disc mobility, dynamic MRI detects stuck disc in 4 joints versus 2 joints detected by static MRI ( p value 0.008). Condylar translation was abnormal in 18 joints (22.5%) by static MRI and in 26 joints (32.5%) by dynamic MRI ( p value < 0.001). The detection rate of articular disc for dynamic MRI was 87.5% versus static MRI 92.5% ( p value 0.038), and the detection rate of condylar head for dynamic MRI was 97.5% versus static MRI 100% ( p value 0.012). Conclusion Dynamic MRI cannot replace static MRI in evaluation of TMJ dysfunction; both of them support each other for accurate diagnosis and better image quality.
