Abstract

The temporomandibular joint has many complex anatomical and functional features compared with other joints. Therefore, caution should be exercised in the diagnosis of temporomandibular joint fractures. Although panoramic tomography is widely used for the screening of orofacial trauma as well as other diseases, this modality often overlooks evidence of a condylar fracture. Cone-beam computed tomography is also used for diagnosing orofacial diseases. The purposes of this report are to show the usefulness of cone-beam computed tomography in diagnosing condylar fractures and to describe the imaging features of condylar fractures.
