The purpose of the current study is to establish the dynamic close-mouth view radiograph method. Seven healthy volunteers were enrolled. Dynamic open-mouth and close-mouth view radiographs were obtained. The odontoid lateral mass interval and the dynamic atlantodental lateral shift (ADLS) were measured. The ADLS was 9.4+/-5.3% by the close-mouth view, showing a significantly greater percentage than that of 5.3+/-4.0% by the open-mouth view. The dynamic close-mouth view can be useful for diagnosis of atlantoaxial lateral instability.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine the frequency of "subluxation" and presence of clinical signs of Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD) in asymptomatic individuals and its distribution according to age and sex.
Materials And Methods: The material investigated comprised of 200 asymptomatic subjects with 400 joints. The subjects were divided into two groups of 18-25 years and 50-60 years of age consisting of equal number of males and females.
