Data were given as n (%). Right TMJ pretreatment USG and RDC/TMD diagnoses were compared. No statistically significant relationship was found (P>0.05). Right TMJ posttreatment USG and RDC/TMD diagnoses were compared. No statistically significant relationship was found (P>0.05). RDC/TMD: Research diagnostic criteria/temporomandibular disorders, TMJ: Temporomandibular joint, USG: Ultrasonography, ADDWR: Anterior disc displacement with reduction, ADDWoR: Anterior disc displacement without reduction
