The Orthopantomogram, an aid in diagnosis of temporomandibular joint problems. II. The vertical symmetry

Abstract

Vertical measurements of the Orthopantomograms of 152 patients were made for condylar and rami heights. The symmetry between the right (R) and the left (L) side was calculated with the formula: [(R-L)/(R + L)]. A statistically significant difference between the patients of a routine dental group and the patients treated for craniomandibular disorders was found regarding condylar height symmetry.
