Abstract

The author modified the Aquard 100 head holder device from Denar Co. to be adequate to the Koreans and to enhance the standardization and reproducibility of the temporomandibular joint radiographs. The results were obtained as follows; 1. The projected central ray was at an angle of 25 degrees. 2. Standardization of patients head position was obtained by means of vertical and horizontal bar which were attached to the head holder. 3. Arbitrary 3 points (A.B.C.) which were on the TMJ area of dry skull were measured for the identification of reproducibility. 4. Measured distances in dry skull were as follow; A-B, 28.0±0.25, B-C 11.9±0.25 and C-A 30.4±0.21, in closed position.
