“…In addition, the mean SMV condylar long axis angulation of 24 degrees found on the side of the torticollis, is very similar to the mean bilateral values which have been found in both Class I and Class II malocclusions, namely 24.20 degrees, and 24.99 degrees respectively 35 , the general magnitude of which have been corroborated by other studies using CT 6,33 .…”

“…Furthermore, this finding supports the fact that no patient had mandibular deviation. The studies that evaluate condylar symmetry in Class I (22), Class II division 1 subdivision (23), and Class III (15) patients showed symmetrical temporomandibular joint spaces and mandibular fossa depths. In the Class II division 1 group, the patients had no functional mandibular deviation or facial asymmetry, resulting in symmetrical joint spaces.…”

BackgroundThis study aimed to investigate and compare the positions and dimensions of the temporomandibular joint and its components, respectively, in patients with Class II division 1 and division 2 malocclusions.Material and MethodsComputed tomography images of 14 patients with Class II division 1 and 14 patients with Class II division 2 malocclusion were included with a mean age of 11.4 ± 1.2 years. The following temporomandibular joint measurements were made with OsiriX medical imaging software program. From the sagittal images, the anterior, superior, and posterior joint spaces and the mandibular fossa depths were measured. From the axial images, the greatest anteroposterior and mediolateral diameters of the mandibular condyles, angles between the long axis of the mandibular condyle and midsagittal plane, and vertical distances from the geometric centers of the condyles to midsagittal plane were measured. The independent samples t-test was used for comparing the measurements between the two sides and between the Class II division 1 and 2 groups.ResultsNo statistically significant differences were observed between the right and left temporomandibular joints; therefore, the data were pooled. There were statistically significant differences between the Class II division 1 and 2 groups with regard to mandibular fossa depth and anterior joint space measurements.ConclusionsIn Class II patients, the right and left temporomandibular joints were symmetrical. In the Class II division 1 group, the anterior joint space was wider than that in Class II division 2 group, and the mandibular fossa was deeper and wider in the Class II division 1 group. Key words:Temporomandibular joint, Class II malocclusion, Cone beam computed tomography.

“…In the literature, the assessment of dentofacial asymmetries has been performed by using submentovertex 9 or postero-anterior cephalometric radiographs, 10 computed tomography, 11,12 and magnetic resonance imaging. 13 Panoramic radiographs, however, are the most frequently used viewing technique because it is possible to image joints, teeth, and other parts of the jaws in one exposure.…”
