Abstract

The morbidity after temporomandibular joint arthrography was studied as the amount of pain, use of pain medicine, and disturbed sleep and was compared with the morbidity after removal of lower third molars. The morbidity was substantially higher after surgery than after arthrography. It was concluded that the morbidity after arthrography can be kept at a low level and that it should not restrict the indications for this examination.
