Abstract:
This article covers congenital and developmental conditions of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), including Pierre Robin sequence, Treacher Collins syndrome, oculoauriculovertebral spectrum, and various forms of condylar dysplasia such as condylar hypoplasia and hyperplasia. Hemimandibular elongation, hemimandibular hyperplasia, and coronoid hyperplasia are also discussed. Emphasis is placed on the imaging characteristics that aid in diagnosis and management, highlighting the critical role of advanced imaging in evaluating TMJ abnormalities, guiding treatment planning, and monitoring growth and development in affected individuals.

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
