Abstract

<p>Several imaging techniques occasionally contribute to correct diagnosis of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) diseases or disorders. Panoramic radiography may play an important role clinically owing to its universal use in dental clinics. However, there have been few reports on panorama image reading of TMJ diseases. The present paper reports on typical panorama images and findings of TMJ diseases or disorders including: 1) osteoarthritis of TMJ, 2) trauma, 3) ankylosis of TMJ, 4) hyperplasia of tendon and aponeurosis of masticatory muscles, 5) synovial chondromatosis of TMJ, and 6) calcification or ossification surrounding the mandibular condyle. These diseases were selected by the following criteria for whether CT and/or MRI seemed to be useful for the diagnosis and the frequency of encounter was probably not so low. CT and MRI findings are also described and contrasted with panorama image findings. Feedback from CT and MRI images to panorama images is expected to improve understanding of panorama image findings and the precision of detecting TMJ diseases by panoramic radiography.</p>
