The Correlation Between Unilateral Posterior Teeth and Articular Inclination of the Temporomandibular Using the Panoramic Radiograph

Abstract

Alteration of Temporomandibular joint is part of the stogmatonagti. The prevalence of joint disorders is 10-70% most cases have lost mandibular molars. This research will the alteration of articular eminence inclination on temporomandibular joint between patients that loss the unilateral mandibular posterior teeth and patients with mandibular posterior teeth using panoramic x-ray. Analytic research cross-sectional study design. Data analysis was performed using an independent T-test with p-value = 0.05. T will be count as the average deviation of EA (eminensia artikularis) angle with sig value (P-Value) of 0,009 less, out of 0,05 or α<p (p= 0,05) showing that there is an articular eminence inclination differences between patients that loss the unilateral mandibular posterior teeth and patients with mandibular posterior teeth.Conclusion : There is a connection between losing the unilateral mandibular posterior teeth with articular eminence inclination on temporomandibular joint.
