Abstract

Introduction: The relation between temporomandibular joint morphology and its incoordination is an arena which is not ventured in much even though many researches have been done but still it is a drop in the ocean of such a vast and complicated structure of the human TMJ anatomy. Objective: To evaluate morphological variations of temporomandibular joint in healthy and disorder patients using computed tomography. Study Design: A total of 20 temporomandibular joint disorder patients and 10 patients with normal TMJs and Class I occlusion were studied. The study was conducted at SUM Hospital and Oral Medicine and Radiology department, IDS Bhubaneswar with TMJ as chief complaint during a period from September 2016 to November 2016. Symptomatic group and asymptomatic group based on according to the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/ TMD) were selected. The present research on TMJ morphology has been designed to investigate parameters like shape of condyle, glenoid fossa and articular eminence in relation to various temporomandibular disorders (TMD).The patients were enrolled with symptoms or signs such as pain, restricted mouth opening, deviation, clicking. A series of morphological parameters with teeth in maximum intercusspation were studied in CT scan.
