Modern digitalised panoramic X-ray devices are capable to take TMJ images, which provides information about articular fossa and condyle. Dynamics of temporomandibular joint during voluntary mouth opening and closing visualized by real-time MRI [52] Pain is the most common reason for people with TMD to seek medical advice. [2]
The signs and symptoms depend upon the type of OM, and may include: Pain, which is severe, throbbing and deep-seated and often radiates along the nerve pathways.
The synovial membrane covers the inner surface of the articular capsule in the TMJ, except for the surface of the articular disc and condylar cartilage.
