Absorbed radiation doses in transcranial temporomandibular joint radiography

Journal Article · · J. Prosthet. Dent.; (United States)
; ;

Lateral transcranial radiographs are commonly used to evaluate TMJ morphology and function. This study evaluated the use of four TMJ positioners in controlling the amount of radiation absorbed at predetermined sites on a phantom head. Use of positioners and collimators can reduce the amount of radiation exposure.
