J. Ahlqvist et Pe. Legrell, A TECHNIQUE FOR THE ACCURATE ADMINISTRATION OF CORTICOSTEROIDS IN THETEMPOROMANDIBULAR-JOINT, Dento-maxillo-facial radiology, 22(4), 1993, pp. 211-213
A new technique for intra-articular injection of a corticosteroid in t
he temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is presented. The corticosteroid is m
ixed with contrast medium and the administration visualized and contro
lled using fluoroscopy. When superior and inferior joint spaces have b
een filled and the soft tissues of the joint have been identified in t
he fluoroscopic image, additional corticosteroid can be administered t
o selected sites within the TMJ.
