Abstract

Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMDs) diagnosis requires routine clinical evaluation and radiographic evaluation of patients with temporomandibular joint disorders (TMDs). Various imaging techniques have been described in the literature to evaluate TMJ in both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), a fast developing method, is currently used often in dento-maxillofacial imaging. Due to its great resolution and relatively low dosage, it has an advantage. When looking through the data on TMJ imaging, it appears that the ongoing CBCT revolution has had a significant influence. The goal of this narrative review is to discuss the current situation regarding the diagnostic use of CBCT in TMDs.
