  • Title: Temporomandibular joint arthrography: comparison of morbidity with ionic and low osmolality contrast media.
    Author: Katzberg RW, Miller TL, Hayakawa K, Manzione JV, Tallents RH.
    Journal: Radiology; 1985 Apr; 155(1):245-6. PubMed ID: 3883421.
    Abstract:
    We compared patient morbidity associated with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) arthrography using both meglumine/sodium diatrizoate (60%) and the new monoacidic dimer, Hexabrix, in a double-blind randomized clinical trial in 31 patients. Patients experienced maximal discomfort from TMJ arthrography with the initial joint filling and joint distension; this rapidly resolved over 10 minutes. Delayed exacerbation of pain is less than described for shoulder arthrography. The newer contrast media promise to decrease patient morbidity with arthrography.
