Opis

The skull contains 22 bones of which 14 are paired and 8 unpaired. All these bones are closely anastamosed to each other, and it is very difficult to view individual bones with only one radiograph. Sometimes many different views are required to see a specific area. This leads to the complexity in diagnosis of diseases in the head and neck region. Temporomandibular joint is a very important but complex joint of the body. It is complex not only from the functional point of view but also from the anatomic point of view. It is a complex structure that requires very careful radiography from different positions to evaluate and diagnose the problem. It is aimed to discuss different radiographic techniques to view the temporomandibular joint.
