Comparison of the multiphasic dysfunction profile with lateral transcranial radiographs

Cone-Beam Computed Tomographic Assessment of Mandibular Condylar Position in Patients with Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction and in Healthy Subjects

“…In some previous studies asymptomatic groups represented more posterior condylar position in women and more anterior positions in men [ 20 , 38 ]. Madsen found in the transcranial radiographs of asymptomatic adults that women and men were more likely to present posterior and anterior condylar positioning, respectively [ 39 ].…”

Radiographic examination of the mandibular (glenoid) fossa in ancient and modern man

“…The advantage of this projection is that it is relatively simple to standardize and achieve repeatability of radiographs when taking quantitative measurements of the mandibular fossa. Furthermore, this projection enables the lateral part of the mandibular fossa, a region that is said to be the most susceptible to organic changes in TMD patients, to be visualized clearly (Rieder and Martinoff, 1984).…”

A Tomographic Study of the Mandibular Condyle Position in Partially Edentulous Population

“…3,9 Reduction in posterior joint space is far more prevalent than an increased posterior joint space. 17 It is considered that certain positions, especially posterior positions, may be less stable and predispose to disk displacement. 12 Posterior condylar position might predispose biomechanically to anterior displacement of the articular disk, whereas a concentric or anterior position permits the disk to remain in a more stable position against the slope of the articular eminence.…”
