title: Osseous abnormalities related to the temporomandibular joint.
abstract: With the arrival of arthrography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging, diagnostic imaging of the temporomandibular joint has improved tremendously over the last 20 years. In patients with temporomandibular joint pain and dysfunction, the main focus was on meniscal pathology. The purpose of this article is to discuss several osseous abnormalities and demonstrate their association with temporomandibular joint pain and dysfunction.
