An Otolaryngology Perspective

Lt Col David M. Barrs, MC; Clyde A. Helms, MD; Richard W. Katzberg, MD; Melvin F. Dolwick, DMD, PhD

Abstract
• Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction may cause facial or aural pain. Conventional roentgenograms are useful to define bony pathologic conditions. However, TMJ arthrotomography may disclose joint meniscus abnormalities in two thirds of patients with persistent dysfunction despite normal roentgenograms.
