Abstract:
Objective:To comprehend morphology changes of temporomandibular joint in adults with mandible deviation,and the correlation in these changes.Methods:The mesofault radiographs of temporomandibular joint were taken in 21 adult patients with mandible deviation.The data described morphology of temporomandibular joint were analysed.Results:In adult patients with mandible deviation,the condyle process of opposite side was anterior and inferior when compared with deflected side.The height of condyle process,the upper height of condyle process,the gradient of prosobevel of condyle process and the gradient of back bevel of glenoid fossa were augmented when compared to deflected side.The gradient of prosobevel of condyle process showed positive correlation to the prosoblank of joint and the deep of glenoid fossa,and the height of condyle process showed positive correlation to the upper height of condyle process in both sides.The gradient of back bevel of condyle process showed positive correlation to the gradient of back bevel of glenoid fossa in deflected side.The gradient of back bevel of condyle process showed negative correlation to the supper blank of joint and the height of articular tubercle in opposite side.Conclusion:There are some differences in morphology of both temporomandibular joint in adults with mandible deviation,and there is some correlation between these changes.
