The oblique lateral transcranial projection (OLTP) of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is widely used for the diagnosis of TMJ disease. The OLTP is a simple and valuable technique for the lateral projection of the TMJ, but is sometimes reveals a complex radiographic findings due to the overlapping of the pars petrosa and the mastoid process to the TMJ. We have recently applied a photographic subtraction technique to the OLTP for reduction of the complex radiographic findings in the OLTP. The purpose of this study is to know the value of the photographic subtraction technique in the OLTP fundamentally. The results obtained are as follows : 1) The shape of the condyle was clearly demonstrated by the subtraction technique. 2) Diagnostic ability on disease of the condyle was increased by applying the subtraction technique. 3) Location of the condyle in the fossa was easily detected by the subtraction technique.
