title: [Imaging of temporo-mandibular disorders].
abstract: Dominated for years by standard films (tomographic mouth open and mouth closed X-rays,           MRI) radiographs of the TMJ have progressively lost their usefulness to diagnosticians who           have progressively increased their reliance on well codified clinical examinations, which           suffice in a great majority of cases.The indications for and diagnostic worth of           radiological studies and the impact they have on the management of TMJ disorders are today           quite low especially when the high cost of procedures like MRI, computerized tomography,           and CBCT is taken into account. In this article we discuss the various maladies that           dentists might encounter and the situations in which radiological examinations are still           indicated.
