Università degli Studi di Perugia.

The utility of the axiography is evaluated for studying temporomandibular joint dysfunctions. Condylar paths and the interpretation of the axiographic tracings are illustrated. The Authors report a case of a patient affected by TMJ dysfunction (unilateral closed lock) caused by dental malposition (inverse cross-bite of the left second molars). The axiography integrates and completes clinical analysis and roentgenographic examinations.

D013705	Temporomandibular Joint Disorders	A variety of conditions affecting the anatomic and functional characteristics of the temporomandibular joint. Factors contributing to the complexity of temporomandibular diseases are its relation to dentition and mastication and the symptomatic effects in other areas which account for referred pain to the joint and the difficulties in applying traditional diagnostic procedures to temporomandibular joint pathology where tissue is rarely obtained and x-rays are often inadequate or nonspecific. Common diseases are developmental abnormalities, trauma, subluxation, luxation, arthritis, and neoplasia.
