Data was given as n (%). Left TMJ pretreatment USG and RDC/TMD diagnoses were compared. No statistically significant relationship was found (P>0.05). Left TMJ posttreatment USG and RDC/TMD diagnoses were compared. A 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
