Correlation between condylar size on CT and position of the articular disc on MRI of the temporomandibular joint
Objective: To analyze the relationship between the size of the mandibular condyle and the temporomandibular joint disc position using computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Methods: One hundred joints were retrospectively analyzed. The measures analyzed included the condylar head height, the medio-lateral and antero-posterior dimensions of the condylar head, and the TMJ disc position. ANOVA correlation coefficient and Tukey’s post hoc test were employed. Results: The mean age of the subjects was 20.3 years.
