(Scarfe, 2008)). In case of maxillofacial dysfunction
there are unfortunately no uniform procedures. The
difference in dose of ionizing radiation between pan-
tomographic imaging supplemented with conven-
tional sinus radiographs and CBCT with medium to
large imaging with modern imaging is not as signifi-
cant (Loubbele, 2008). The benefit of the evaluation
of paranasal sinuses in volumetric thomography is un-
doubtedly greater (Rege, 2012), so it should account
for the balance of gains and losses.
5 CONCLUSIONS
Volumetric Tomography is a valuable x-ray imaging
technique useful in the differential diagnosis of TM
dysfunction. The laying on of symptoms that mask
the main disease means that frequently, without addi-
tional examinations, it is not possible, in a univocal
way, to describe the type and extent of a disease. The
diagnosis of functional disorders of the muscular of
the chewing systems should take into account the dis-
ease lesions in the maxillary sinus. Detection of vari-
ous pathological processes occurring in the sinuses
paranasal, during of the diagnosis of dysfunction of
the chewing organ is not uncommon.
Limiting the imaging field in a volumetric tomog-
raphy study significantly reduces the diagnostic po-
tential of the study. The advantage of the possibility
of additional evaluation of the collateral sinuses and
the diagnosis of the underlying disease process is un-
doubtedly greater.
