About X-Ray of Both TM Joints
An X-Ray of Both TM Joints is a computed radiographic examination dedicated to the analysis of the right and left TM joints (TMJ), connecting the upper and lower jaw (mandible). These joints play a pivotal role in chewing, speaking, yawning, as well as normal jaw functioning.
Using state-of-the-art digital X-ray equipment, Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy creates detailed, clear images of both the TM joints with minimal X-ray exposure, thereby reducing a patient's radiation exposure.
What is an X-Ray of Both TM Joints?
A non-invasive imaging procedure, an X-ray of both TM Joints looks at the bones of the jaw joints. Typically, images are acquired with the mouth both closed and open to observe movement, alignment, and integrity of the joints and structures. Examination aids in recognition of abnormalities at the mandibular condyles, in the joint space, and surrounding bones.
Common Reasons for an X-Ray of Both TM Joints
- Jaw pain or discomfort
- Clicking or popping sounds while opening the mouth
- Difficulty opening or closing the mouth
- Evaluation after facial trauma
- Suspected temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder
- Assessment of arthritis affecting the jaw joint
- Evaluation of jaw dislocation or fractures
- Follow-up after TMJ treatment or surgery
