| Popis: | THE object of this presentation is to correlate the roentgenological findings of temporo-mandibular joint pathology other than acute infections, fractures, dislocations, specific diseases, malignant lesions, or acute trauma changes. The disposition of structures which make up the temporo-mandibular joint, the condyle, the meniscus, the glenoid fossa, the forward limiting articular tubercle, accounts for the regular spacing of bone outlines which is purely relative. The exact distance between the surface of the condyle and any sector of the curve of the glenoid fossa varies widely with the individual. However, in the normal joint, with the condyle at rest in the closed position of the jaw, the space between its surface and the tympanic plate, or the glenoid fossa, is uniform, slightly narrower next to the tubercle. Even in the open position the same space appears between the condyle and tubercle, to account for the intervening meniscus (1). The ultimate position of the condyles being determined by occlusio... |
