Know more about this test
The X - Ray Temporo-Mendibular (TM Joint) - Open & Closed Mouth is a safe and painless test to visualise this joint and the surrounding soft tissues like skin and muscles using small amount of radiation. The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the joint that connects the jaw bone (known as mandible) to the skull. The image of the joint is recorded on a special X-ray film. The X-ray image is black and white. Dense structures such as the bones, appear white and softer body tissues, such as the skin and muscles appear darker. The actual exposure time to radiation is usually less than a second, although the overall test may take 15-20 minutes.
