  • Title: Accuracy of temporomandibular joint space measurements using corrected hypocycloidal tomography.
    Author: Heffez L, Jordan S, Rosenberg H, Miescke K.
    Journal: J Oral Maxillofac Surg; 1987 Feb; 45(2):137-42. PubMed ID: 3468215.
    Abstract:
    This study underscores the importance of obtaining radiographs in a tomographic plane bisecting the long axis of the condyle. The accuracy of joint relationships and clarity of the images produced using the horizontally and vertically corrected techniques were significantly greater than when both standard or only horizontally corrected techniques were used in the cases examined. Correlative clinical studies are recommended to be studied.
