Summary
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders are a common problem in clinical dentistry and are often asymptomatic in the initial stages. In this regard, TMJ pathology is often diagnosed at late stages when patients are referred and examined for other dental diseases. Untimely diagnosis of TMJ diseases leads to the development of a number of complications that reduce the quality of life of patients. The asymptomatic course of TMJ diseases and insufficient informativeness of clinical examination make it necessary to perform additional (instrumental) methods of examination. Given the complexity of the anatomical structure of the joint, it is most appropriate to use a comprehensive approach to the examination of patients with TMJ disorders. This review article is devoted to the evaluation of the effectiveness of imaging and functional methods of diagnosis of TMJ pathology.

Keywords: TMJ diagnosis, radiography, CT, MRI, ultrasound, scintigraphy, EMG, axiography, arthroscopy.
