[Radiology of the temporomandibular joint]

Different radiological techniques have been developed through the years within the realm of studies on the temporomandibular joint, which have implemented significant improvements in diagnosis by professionals in stomatology. Some of the most modern radiographical techniques, such as computerized tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance image (MRI) are not yet regularly used in our country for the diagnosing of temporomandibular dysfunctions. However, it is quite possible that in the near future, this type of techniques may be more widely handled, with resultant benefits for ailing patients.
