Description
Yi Liu and co-authors relate jaw joint disc slips to the tilt of the bite plane in a 2025 paper. The jaw joint's disc can slide out of place, causing pain and clicking. The bite plane, the slope where upper and lower teeth meet, shapes the forces on the joint. Patients with jaw complaints were grouped by MRI scans into normal discs and two grades of slip.
Head and jaw measurements from X-ray tracings were compared across the three groups. Jaw angle, chin position, and several bite-plane slopes differed between the groups. A regression model, adjusted for other traits, tied disc state to bite geometry. The links may help dentists spot patients whose bite loads the joint badly.
