Assessment of condylar anatomy and degenerative changes in temporomandibular joint disorders - A scoping review.

ABSTRACT: Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) are a group of conditions that cause pain and dysfunction in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and muscles that control mandibular movement. In most cases, the etiology is unclear and is considered multifactorial. Recent research suggests that some forms of TMD could be associated with specific TMJ morphological characteristics. This study aims to provide a review of the reported anatomical and degenerative morphological condylar characteristics of subjects with a clinical diagnosis of TMD as described with the use of CBCT imaging, as well as the detection of potential predisposing anatomical factors. This review was developed and reported in accordance with the PRISMA-ScR Checklist. A comprehensive search was performed in five databases. Reports were scr
