title: [Evaluation of digital subtraction arthrography on the diagnosis of temporomandibular joint dysfunction syndrome].
abstract: Digital subtraction arthrography of temporomandibular joint superior cavity (TMJSC-DSA) was performed for 70 cases with TMJ dysfunction syndrome. A comparative observation between the operative findings and the findings of TMJSC-DSA examination was carried out for 11 cases who underwent TMJ operation. The results showed that TMJSC-DSA could overcome the disadvantages of conventional arthrography and make exact diagnoses for the anterior displacement of the disc and the disc perforation.
