1.5 continuing education credit

Temporomandibular Joint and its disorders are implicated in the causation of orofacial pain. Although the TMJ is a small joint compared with the joints in the rest of the body, it is intricate, and its study is complex. Plain radiographs, tomographs, and computed tomography all have their value in demonstrating the anatomy and the osseous morphology of the joint but fail to reveal the non-osseous components of the joint, especially the meniscus or disc. The use of magnetic resonance imaging led the way to our understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the joint in a way we could not by using any other imaging modality
This lecture will focus on the types of MR imaging currently utilized and the value of different pulse sequences to disorders related to disc displacement,  changes related to the synovium, the capsule, and the muscular and ligaments that are responsible for normal functionality of the joint. The lecture will focus on the conditions that may lead to pain and dysfunction of the TMJ  commonly known as  TMD.
