Shorter duration of jaw lock, milder disc deformation, and less severe disc displacement indicate higher success rates of disc reduction using MM. The established cut-off values were 2.75 months for disease duration of jaw lock, 8.39 mm for disc length and 96.7° for the intersection angle β. Future development of a multivariate prediction model may help optimize clinical management strategies for ADDwoR.
