4D virtual simulator for jaw joint diagnosis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests a new 4D virtual simulator to help diagnose disc displacement in the jaw joint. If you have been referred for an MRI of your jaw joints, this study may help improve how these problems are detected.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have a positive result on a questionnaire that screens for jaw joint disc displacement
- Your doctor has referred you for an MRI of your jaw joints to confirm the diagnosis
- You can speak and understand French
- You are not pregnant
- You are willing and able to have an MRI scan

This trial tests two types of jaw joint surgery for people with a displaced disc that still moves. It compares a simpler procedure (flushing the joint) with a more involved one (surgical repair) to see which helps more with pain and jaw function.
This study is testing whether a physiotherapy (physical therapy) program can help people who have pain and tenderness in their jaw joint. It might be a good fit if you are a young adult with a recent jaw joint problem on one side.
This study compares a new digital way of making a custom mouth splint to the traditional method for people with jaw pain (temporomandibular disorder, or TMD). It looks at how the splint affects teeth wear and bite balance. If you have TMD and are between 18–40 with all your natural teeth, you may be able to join.
This study tests a new treatment for a common jaw joint problem called disc displacement. It compares a concentrated growth factor from your own blood to standard care to see which helps more with pain and jaw movement.
This study uses MRI scans to look at how the jaw joint disc sits and moves in people with a specific type of TMJ disorder. It may help researchers understand which disc positions and jaw problems go together.
This study uses real-time MRI to take detailed images of your jaw joint (the temporomandibular joint) to better understand its normal and painful variations. It may help if you have jaw pain or clicking, but you don't need to have a problem to join.
