Transantral (infraorbital, transmaxillary) examination of the temporomandibular joint was compared with conventional transcranial examination and lateral tomography of patients with rheumatoid arthritis aged 23 to 83. Abnormalities were most frequently found at tomography, and equally frequent at transantral and transcranial examinations. The various examinations appeared to be rather supplementary. Bone erosion was frequently observed at transantral examination, which appeared to be the preferable radiographic method for detecting arthritis of this joint. Combined with transcranial examination, the method is recommended for the evaluation of temporomandibular joint abnormalities in rheumatoid arthritis if tomographic equipment is not available.
对23至83岁类风湿性关节炎患者的颞下颌关节进行经窦（眶下、经上颌）检查，并与传统经颅检查和侧位体层摄影进行比较。异常情况在体层摄影中最常发现，在经窦和经颅检查中出现频率相同。各种检查似乎具有相当的互补性。经窦检查时经常观察到骨质侵蚀，这似乎是检测该关节关节炎的首选影像学方法。如果没有体层摄影设备，推荐将该方法与经颅检查相结合，用于评估类风湿性关节炎患者的颞下颌关节异常情况。
