title: [Special radiographic characteristics of the temporomandibular joint in functional disorders of the masticatory organ].
abstract: The inclinations of the articular tubercles were measured on Schüller radiographs of the temporomandibular joints. They were significantly flatter in patients than in control subjects. Patients having pain showed considerably more frequently right-left different angles of inclination than patients being free from pain. The widths of the interarticular spaces were subdivided into 3 classes as suggested by Kleinrok. Again it was found that right-left dissimilarity (class III) was significantly more frequent than right-left similarity (class II) only in patients having pain.
