Abstract
According to appearance of the condyle on transpharyngeal radiographs, human temporomandibular arthropathy has a destructive phase and a reparative phase terminating in a stable state. The destructive phase is characterized by erosion. No common trait of the healing process exists as the healed condyle varies from the normal to the most irregular appearance. Once it occurs, healing is stable. Ongoing radiologic changes take place within 1-3 yr. Some technical considerations including radiation doses of the transpharyngeal projection are presented.Keywords
