Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMDs) are a group of disorders which are complex and multifactorial. The identification of the major etiologic factors are essential for the success of any therapeutical procedures. Diagnosis of TMDs are mainly based on thorough clinical examination along with the analysis of presenting signs and symptoms. Sometimes, other diagnostic tests are used inorder to gather more information or to confirm the clinical diagnosis. Various imaging modalities are used to identify the morphology of the joint as well as to study the functional relationship of the condyle to the fossa. This article aims at discussing briefly the various diagnostic imaging techniques of TMDs.
