Abstract
Objective to evaluate the morphological and morphometric features of mandibular condyle in a segment of Indian (Asian) population with context to side, sex and age using CBCT scans. Various parameters of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) were determined from CBCT scans (the frontal and the lateral views) of subjects (n=100) in age group of 20-60 years using i-CAT (vision) software (version 1.9.3.14, Imaging Sciences International). The most common shape of the mandibular condyle was convex followed by the round shape. Significant difference was observed in the anteroposterior diameter of the mandibular condyle and the anterior joint space on the right and the left sides as well as in different age groups. Various parameters presented sexual dimorphism. Age associated growth of mandibular condyle was evident along with sexual dimorphism. The values obtained for various parameters from CBCT images could serve as norms for designing the preformed mandibular condyle.
