Résumé
Background
Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are common craniofacial conditions characterized by pain and functional limitation. The study was conducted to investigate the association of morphology and morphometric features of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) with TMD using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).
Methods
This cross-sectional study evaluated 264 TMJs using CBCT of 132 patients within the age range of 18-60 years. The study comprised 66 patients with TMD in the study group and 66 patients without TMD in control group. Parameters analyzed included shape of condyle, glenoid fossa, bony changes, condylar height and width, joint space dimensions, roof of glenoid fossa(RGF) thickness, width and depth. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 26.0. Holm-Bonferroni correction was applied for multiple comparisons. Statistical significance was defined at an adjusted alpha level of <0.05. Effect sizes were calculated for all comparisons.
