The diagnosis and treatment planning of temporomandibular joint disorders is quite challenging. Radiological examination forms an essential component for the diagnosis of temporomandibular joint disorders. Temporomandibular joint is a complex entity with hard and soft tissue components. Accurate radiographic evaluation of Temporomandibular joint has been difficult due to superimposition of other structures in conventional radiographs. Cone beam computed tomography plays an important role in precise imaging of temporomandibular joint anatomy without superimposition and distortion. It provides an accurate method for evaluating bony changes of the temporomandibular joint Cone beam computed tomography is a developing technique that is increasingly used in dentomaxillofacial imaging due to its relatively low dose high spatial resolution. The present review will give an update on cone beam computed tomography finding of temporomandibular joint disorders reported to our institution.
