Abstract
In 1993, Levandoski1 published the details of a system to analyze panoramic radiographs and especially, the temporomandibular joints. Piedra2 expanded the work of Levandoski to analyze facial and dental asymmetries. In this brief treatise, the disorder of temporal tendinitis was explored. A modified Levandoski technique was used to compare the lengths of the coronoid and condylar processes in an attempt to demonstrate how the panoramic radiograph can be simply used in the diagnosis of temporal tendinitis in the retrospective study of 21 such cases. Conclusions: a total of 18 of the 21 coronoid processes (85%) were equal to or longer than their condylar process counterparts, thus indicating that a panoramic radiograph may be useful in the diagnosis of temporal tendinitis.
