Abstract:
This article is devoted to applications of computed tomography
(CT) in diagnosis of inflammatory and degenerative disease of
temporomandibular joint (TMJ). CT is highly informative method for
visualization of disease of temporomandibular joint. Finally, sections on
other aspects of CT research related to the TMJ, clinical decision-making and
concluding remarks are added. However, it should be emphasized that the
diagnostic information obtained is limited to the morphology of the osseous
joint components, cortical bone integrity and subcortical bone
destruction/production. Author of this research studied the frequency of
radiological signs in different age group. In addition, there were studied
frequency of isolated, combination types, and more and less localization sites
of radiological patterns of inflammatory and degenerative changes of
temporo-mandibular joint.
