Although arthrography of the TMJ is nowadays considered as old-fashioned, the technique remains a valuable alternative in cases where MRI is contraindicated. The authors discuss the technique of inferior joint space arthrography and present a review of typical arthrographic cases of the most common types of TMJ pathology.

Objective: The review involves the assessment of morphological variations in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and its associated structures in patients with temporomandibular disorder.
Introduction: Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are debilitating conditions that affect the TMJ complex, surrounding musculature and osseous components. Studies have reported that TMD result from morphological alterations in TMJ.

Partial or total perforation of the articular disc is mainly observed in the final stage of temporomandibular disorder. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is considered the gold standard for the diagnosis of joint pathologies; MRI arthrography consists of the infiltration of a contrast medium into a joint, being Gadolinium chelates the most employed medium, however, possible harmful effects have been associated with its use. The aim of this work was to evaluate a case of perforation of the articular disc of the temporomandibular joint by MRI arthrography using physiological solution (NaCl 0.

Background: Disorders of the equine temporomandibular joint (TMJ) cause clinical problems and detailed investigations of this joint are becoming more common. Specialist radiographic projections have the potential to highlight osseous abnormalities; however, the ability to assess the intra-articular soft tissue structures is currently limited to computed tomography (with, or without contrast enhancement) or magnetic resonance imaging. Both modalities are expensive and not readily accessible.

Prescriptions for imaging studies for temporomandibular disorders are based on the patient's complaint, history, and clinical findings. Appropriate selection criteria and justification for imaging examinations must be followed. Because the temporomandibular joint is composed of both hard and soft tissues, different studies are prescribed based on the clinically suspected condition.

Purpose: To perform a scoping review to identify the available evidence regarding osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).
Methods: An electronic search of the PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus databases was performed using the following terms: 'Temporomandibular Joint Disorders', 'Osteochondritis Dissecans', 'Joint Loose Bodies' and 'Temporomandibular Joint'. Full-text articles were obtained from the records after applying the inclusion/exclusion criteria.
