Use of direct sagittal computed tomography in diagnosis and treatment of internal derangements of the temporomandibular joint. 1986

D C Hoffman, and L Berliner, and J Manzione, and R Saccaro, and B E McGivern

Direct sagittal CT imaging of the TMJ provides several distinct advantages. Most significant is that direct imaging allows noninvasive evaluation of the disk. Direct sagittal CT scanning can confirm a clinical diagnosis of internal derangements as well as monitor splints intended for recapturing of the disk. Furthermore, the CT direct imaging allows excellent views of the bony architecture similar to those obtained with tomography. Used with clinical history and physical examination, CT can provide an excellent diagnostic modality to help provide better care for patients with internal derangement of the TMJ.

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.
