Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Aim: To explore whether changes in mandibular/condylar position are associated with alterations in brain activation in a patient with chronic subjective tinnitus and temporomandibular disorder (TMD) during a 3-month follow-up. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and Methods: Single-patient case report (39-year-old; 2-year tinnitus; diagnosed TMD). TMJ magnetic resonance imaging (TMJ MRI) and functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI) of the brain were acquired in centric occlusion and after fabrication of an anterior repositioning appliance. fMRI was processed in FMRIB Software Library (FSL) (FEAT 6.0); Z-images were cluster-corrected with Z>3.1 and cluster-wise p
