Radiographic morphology of the temporomandibular joint related to occlusal characteristics

M A Matsumoto et al. Braz Dent J. 1994.

Abstract

The radiographic image of the temporomandibular joints of 52 individuals obtained by oblique lateral transcranial exposure was studied in terms of the appearance of the articular components (depth of the mandibular fossa, inclination of the posterior slope of the articular eminence, and condyle shape) and correlated with occlusal characteristics (overbite, tooth wear or attrition, and Spee curve). This investigation did not permit us to demonstrate a definite correlation between dental occlusion and articular morphology based on the radiographic image of the temporomandibular joint.
