Abstract
Resume. topresent the anatomy of the temporomandibular joint of healthy people based on the results of the magnetic resonance imaging. Methods: there were examined 47 patients without the pathology of the temporomandibular joint. Results. There is presented anatomy of the temporomandibular complex based on the results of magnetic resonance imaging in patients without the pathology of temporomandibular joint. There were compared two methods of temporomandibular joint examination: CT and MRI. There are presented indications and contraindications (absolute and relative) for MRI. Knowing the anatomy of the temporomandibular joint of a healthy person when performing magnetic resonance imaging one can prove the efficiency of the examination to diagnose temporomandibular joint diseases i.e. muscular and articular dysfunction, inflammatory and dystrophic diseases, posttraumatic injuries, ankyloses, etc. Conclusions. Using the magnetic resonance imaging makes it possible to effectively diagnose degenerative, inflammatory and neoplastic diseases of joints and surrounding soft tissues as it was proved by the performed examination of the temporomandibular joint of healthy people. Key words: temporomandibular joint, mandibular bone, maxillofacial area, magnetic resonance imaging.
