Measurement and analysis of condylar morphology and thickness of the roof of the glenoid fossa in patients with unilateral second molar scissor bite.

ABSTRACT: Objective The objective of this study was to measure and analyze the joint space, condylar morphology, and thickness of the roof of the glenoid fossa (RGF) in patients with unilateral second molar scissor bite using cone beam CT (CBCT). Methods A total of 80 patients were included in this study. Forty patients with a normal posterior occlusal relationship, who attended the Department of Orthodontics at the First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from December 2021 to August 2023, were selected as the control group. The experimental group consisted of 40 patients with unilateral second molar scissor bite during the same period. All patients underwent CBCT scanning, and the resulting images were analyzed using the NNT viewer software in multiplanar reconstruction (MPR). Axial, coronal, a
