Imaging of the Common Conditions of the Temporomandibular Joint
摘要
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) stands out as a distinctive anatomical structure, being the sole diarthrodial synovial joint within the human body. It remains under constant load, even during periods of inactivity, necessitating robust biomechanical integrity to withstand the substantial mechanical stresses it encounters during its functioning. This chapter discusses the common conditions of TMJ and the radiographic methods employed to investigate potential deterioration in TMJ’s biomechanical stability.
