Authors performed TMJ arthrograms in the patients with TMJ problems such as pain, click sound, limited motion and locking, etc. The following resutls noted: 1. The arthrographic findings of 22TMJs were analyzed. a) Normal:6 cases b) Anterior disc displacement with reduction: 6 cases . Early reduction:2cases . Intermediate reduction: 3 cases. Late reduction: 1 case c) Anterior disc displacement without reduction:6 cases . Two cases had adhesion between the psoterior portion of disc and the posterior surfaces of the articulareminence. 2.
