Transpharyngeal radiography of mandibular condyle. Comparison with other conventional methods

T A Larheim et al. Acta Radiol Diagn (Stockh). 1985 Mar-Apr.

Abstract

Transpharyngeal examination of the mandibular condyle was compared with transcranial and transmaxillary examinations in 22 patients with mandibular pain/dysfunction. All projections were supplementary and a combination of at least two methods seemed preferable. When a single examination was used, underestimation of abnormalities was evident. In demonstrating condylar destruction, the transpharyngeal examination seemed to be superior to the more commonly used transcranial, but inferior to the transmaxillary examination.
