“…To the authors' knowledge, only two papers addressed this aspect as the primary aim of investigation 11,51 , and few others focused on condylar range of motion in asymptomatic subjects 5,19,30,33,40,41 . This represents a strong limitation to current research on this topic, since the absence of clear and validated parameters of normality prevented US assessments in pathological joints being compared with a known standard of reference for normality.…”

“…It has been recognized for some time with several important advantages as it does not require special facilities which have the potential of becoming available in a dental office, and can be used to view the joint in a continuum without invasion, discomfort, alteration of the patient's normal head posture, or interference with condylar motion. Its use for the diagnosis of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders is uncommon, although several reports have been found in the literature, suggesting evident advantages of the utilization of such procedure which is inexpensive and noninvasive compared to the other imaging tools habitually used, such as MRI, arthrography and CT scan [28][29][30].…”

Maxillofacial surgery, like any other surgical specialty is greatly dependent on the discipline of radiology. This poses a greater challenge because of the complex anatomy of this region. Various investigation modalities have been applied in diagnosing various diseases which are found in the maxillofacial region, including IOPA, PET, USG, CT, MRI and panoramic radiographs. Of these, USG can easily diagnose non invasive and soft tissue diseases. It is very useful in diagnosing the diseases which are not usually evident on a conventional radiograph. However; many of the dentists are not aware of the benefits of USG in diagnosis of oral diseases. In this article, the use of ultrasound in diagnosing the various pathologies of maxillofacial region is elaborated.

“…A recent study reported that US has higher sensitivity for the evaluation of individual condylar translation and is a sensitive tool for assessing joint function (Landes and Sader, 2007). Gateno et al (1993) estimated the sensitivity and specificity of US in locating condyle position as 95% (Gateno et al, 1993). However, Emshoff et al (1997) estimated the sensitivity and specificity of static US (7.5 Mhz) to be respectively 41% and 70% in locating disc displacement, and that of dynamic US to be respectively 31% and 95%.…”
