Integrative Predictors of Temporomandibular Degenerative Joint Disease
ABSTRACT Temporomandibular Disorders (TMDs) represent a significant burden on musculoskeletal health, accounting for an estimated $4 billion in healthcare costs annually. Pediatric Temporomandibular Degenerative Joint Disease (TM DJD) is especially concerning, with risks including growth abnormalities, severe joint damage, and potential blindness. Addressing the critical gaps in our understanding of pediatric TM DJD's progression, severity, and management is imperative. Our research proposes innovative, evidence-based strategies to improve early diagnosis and personalized care, utilizing cutting- edge multimodal imaging, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning. Our strategy…
