Abstract
Temporomandibular joint arthrography has been helpful in selecting patients for reconstructive surgery who have severe temporomandibular joint dysfunction. Structural abnormalities of the soft tissues can be demonstrated where only minimal osseous changes are seen on tomography. The normal arthrographic anatomy of the joint is reviewed and normal and pathological joints are illustrated.
