Reading the TMJ and airway on imaging — Dania Tamimi teaches the radiographic clues to TMD and sleep breathing
Signs of joint disease and airway compromise sit in scans dentists already take. Understanding the TMJ and Airway A Radiographic Exploration trains you to spot them, with oral and maxillofacial radiologist Dania Tamimi guiding nearly nine hours across four sessions on MRI and CBCT interpretation, normal anatomy, and a search pattern for working through a scan.
- 4lessons
- 8 h 53 minof video
- 2modalities: MRI and CBCT
What you’ll be able to do
- Interpret MRI and CBCT of the joint and upper airway
- Recognise normal TMJ anatomy versus internal derangement
- Identify degenerative joint disease and its facial consequences
- Link occlusion, TMJ and airway radiographically
- Screen for sleep-disordered breathing risk factors
Inside the course
Foundations and normal anatomy
Short videos ground you in CBCT basics and 3D anatomy, then build the MRI picture of a healthy joint so internal derangement stands out clearly.
From joint disease to bite change
You study degenerative joint disease and its effect on facial growth and asymmetry, then how bite changes present in relation to the TMJ and airway.
The airway and a search pattern
The final session reviews upper respiratory tract anatomy and the radiographic markers that flag sleep-disordered breathing, wrapped in a comprehensive method for reading a whole scan.

Before you buy
Do I need to be a radiologist?
No. It is aimed at clinicians who want to read diagnostic clues in their patients’ imaging, starting from CBCT foundations.
Does it cover sleep as well as TMD?
Yes. A full session addresses upper airway anatomy and the radiographic risk factors for sleep-disordered breathing.
Do I get CME credit or a certificate?
No. Clinicapedia provides the educational content only — no CME or CE credits, MOC points or certificates of completion are included with this product.
