See if the Modjaw digital jaw impressions help diagnose TMJ disc displacement

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

The study explores using Modjaw digital traces collected during jaw impressions to support diagnosis of temporomandibular joint disc displacement in adults referred for MRI. Participants will undergo digital jaw impression collection and Modjaw recording, followed by standard MRI for diagnostic confirmation. The goal is to determine if the Modjaw data can reliably indicate disc displacement in clinical practice. The trial builds on prior work showing reproducible Modjaw recordings and validated tracings, applying them in a diagnostic workflow.
