MANDIBLE, SINUSES,
TEMPORAL BONE
Wynn Harrison, MEd
NEW WORDS
• Sinusitis: Inflammation of the
sinuses
• Mucocele: Enlargement of the
lacrimal sac.
Cystic disease
of the air cavities – causes
erosion of the bone
• Retention Cyst: A cyst retaining
the secretion of a gland, ie:
mucosal or sebaceous cyst
Mastoiditis: Inflammation of the
mastoid sinus
• Otitis: Inflammation of the ear:
ie: otitis media; can be
internal or external
• Acoustic Neuroma: benign tumor of
the eighth cranial nerve.
Symptoms = hearing loss, pain,
headache, balance problems.
Mandible
Mandible Projections
• Axiolateral--head lat. position
with tilt 15 degree to IR. 15
degree ceph angle of CR
• PA skull-- CR at lips
• Townes-- coned to Ramus
• SMV of mandible
AP Semi-Axial (Townes)
• OML = 30
degrees
• IOML = 37
degrees
• Center midramus
Townes view for rami
PA Mandible
• OML
perpendicular to
IR
• Center midmandible
PA Mandible
Nice axiolateral
mandible
Axiolateral Mandible
• Head tilt 15
degrees
• CR 15 degrees
cephalic
SMV Mandible, (Shuller,
full Axial view)
• IOML parallel to IR and
perpendicular to CR.
• Image mentum skimming frontal
bone
• Merrill’s 12 th Ed. p. 351
Temporomandibular
joints
Two types of Schuller views
FIRST is full Axial (SMV)
Second is true lateral with 15
degree Caudal angle
(3 similar views: Henshen 15
degree caud. , Shuller 25 degree
caud. , Lysholm 35 degree caud.
angle)
Schullers Projection
• The Schullers
Projection can
be used to
evaluate the
temporal
mandibular
joints and
mastoid air cells
and inner ear.
Schullers Protection for
TMJ
• Open and closed
mouth view are
taken of both TM
joints.
• The TMJ closest to
the Bucky will be the
one seen at the
center or top of the
film.
• Accurate positioning
is essential to being
able to compare
joints.
Cone-Down of TMJ
• Relaxed Lateral
with 15 degree
caudal
angulation
(Laws Position)
Open & closed mouth
(Laws position)
TMJ Syndrome
• Clicking, pain in TMJ
• May indicate dysfunction of the
TMJ
• Caused by inflammation, stress,
muscle spasm, etc.
Paranasal Sinuses
Lateral Sinus
Sinuses: Caldwell
Frontal
Ethmoid

Maxillary Sinus
Petrous Pyramids
Waters Projection
• Waters
projection
demonstrates:
• Cloudy maxillary
sinuses worse
on left.
• Sinus infection
that needed
antibiotics.
OPEN MOUTH WATERS
FOR SINUSES:
SHOWS SPHENOID SINUS IN
OPEN MOUTH
SMV - Sinuses
• Demonstrates
sphenoid sinus
• Merrill’s p. 379
• 12th Ed.
