Morphometric Analysis of the Glenoid Fossa in the Skull Base.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The aim of this study was to investigate the possible relationship between disc displacement and the presence of reduction by comparing condyle anteroposterior (AP) diameter, condyle height, mandibular fossa AP diameter, and mandibular fossa depth.

Methods

A total of 588 joints of 294 patients were included in the study for evaluation. Disc displacement and the presence of reduction, condyle AP diameter, condyle height, mandibular fossa AP diameter, and mandibular fossa depth were evaluated.

Results

Of the 588 temporomandibular joint examined in the study, there was disc displacement in 141 (24%) and no disc displacement in 447 (76%). Of the joints with disc displacement, reduction was observed in 53 (9%) and not in 88 (15%).A statistically significant corre
