Craniomandibular dysfunction is usually diagnosed on the basis of medical history and physical examination.
Optional medical device diagnostics – depending on the results of the history, physical examination, laboratory diagnostics, and obligatory medical device diagnostics – for differential diagnostic clarification.
- 3D spine measurement – provides information about anatomical changes of the back and spine without radiation exposure. It captures the interrelationships of the spine, pelvis and back, providing an accurate picture of body statics.
- X-ray examination of the face (occipitodental image to show the maxillary sinus/maxillary sinus and sphenoidal sinus/sphenoidal sinus, as well as the temporomandibular joints and zygomatic bones).
- Computed tomography (CT) – sectional imaging procedure (X-ray images taken from different directions with computer-based analysis), in which the head and neck region can be well visualized.
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) – computer-assisted cross-sectional imaging method (using magnetic fields, that is, without X-rays); particularly well suited for changes in the musculature.
