Possibilities of ultrasound examination in patients with pathology of the temporomandibular joint

Ultrasound examination in the field of pathology of the temporomandibular joint provides new opportunities for the diagnosis of various diseases. This method provides accurate visualization of joint structures and soft tissues, allowing the detection of inflammatory processes and changes in the joint capsule. This article indicates that ultrasound, being safe and non-invasive, can be used in practice even for patients with high sensitivity to radiation. It is important to note that ultrasound diagnostics contributes to a more complete understanding of functional disorders, which in turn affects the choice of therapeutic strategies. The use of ultrasound in maxillofacial surgery and orthodontics emphasizes its relevance for a comprehensive approach to treatment. Thus, the possibilities of ultrasound significantly expand the horizons of diagnosis and therapy of diseases of the temporomandibular joint, improving treatment results for patients. In conclusion, the article describes that it is important to continue the research and implementation of ultrasound in clinical practice to improve the quality of medical care.
