“…For an assessment of OA changes of the TMJs, the computed tomography (CT) method is generally accepted as the most useful technique to show small details, while panoramic radiography, tomograms, arthrography and magnetic resonance imaging have been used to observe morphologic changes of the TMJs (Ahmad et al, 2009;Brooks et al, 1997;Hussain et al, 2008;Ludlow et al, 1995;Roberts et al, 1984). Accordingly, longitudinal CT information pertaining to the actual bony change associated with TMJ OA can provide knowledge about another clinical aspect of TMJ OA.…”

The observer variability and accuracy of linear and angular computed tomography (CT) software measurements in the transaxial plane were investigated for the temporomandibular joint with the General Electric 8800 CT/N Scanner. A dried and measured human mandible was embedded in plastic and scanned in vitro. Sixteen observers participated in the study. The following measurements were tested: inter- and extra-condylar distances, transverse condylar dimension, condylar angulation, and the plastic base of the specimen. Three frozen cadaveric heads were similarly scanned and measured in situ. Intra- and inter-observer variabilities were lowest for the specimen base and highest for condylar angulation. Neuroradiologists had the lowest variability as a group, and radiology residents and paramedical personnel had the highest, but the differences were small. No significant difference was found between CT and macroscopic measurement of the mandible. In situ measurement by CT of condyles with structural changes in the transaxial plane was, however, subject to substantial error. It was concluded that transaxial linear measurements of the condylar processes free of significant structural changes had an error and an accuracy well within acceptable limits. The error for angular measurements was significantly greater than the error for linear measurements.

“…At present, studies are made by computerized axial tomography (CAT) to create three-dimensional models [14], scanning electron microscopy [9,16], functional investigations that reproduce mandibular movements in the joints with pantographs [3,7], endoscopy and sonar. The application of moire topography to the temporoman dibular joint was used by us in this study in the belief that it provides details that would otherwise go unnoticed and that it allows accurate measurements and comparative studies.…”

The temporomandibular joint is a diarthrosis. It has classically been referred to as being a condylar, and functionally as a double condylar joint. We have used the moirÉ topographical technique to study the morphology of the pars suprameniscalis or meniscotemporalis of the joint. The findings show that this pars suprameniscalis could be classified as a saddle joint. The biomechanical implications are also discussed.
