Differences between the temporal and mandibular components of the temporomandibular joint in topographic distribution of osseous degenerative features on cone-beam computerized tomography

摘要

Temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA) pathology is characterized by degenerative changes of the subchondral bone. The topographic distribution of osseous degenerative changes in TMJ is not clear. This study aimed to evaluate the topographic distribution of osseous degenerative features in the TMJ by using cone-beam computerized tomography (CBCT).
