“…6 TMJ OA is a slowly progressing disease that can take years to appear clinically, and most manifestations of TMJ OA follow a natural course independent of treatment, reaching a stable, non-painful burnout endpoint phase after a period of active joint disease. 7 However, a small group of patients (<20%) undergo rapid and widespread degenerative changes, chronic pain, occlusal changes, and impaired quality of life, and require surgical intervention. 8 Unfortunately there is no way to predict the course or severity of the disease, and no single clinical finding specific to TMJ OA exists.…”

Objective The aim of this study was to validate the ability of CBCT to measure condylar internal trabecular bone structure and bone texture parameters accurately. Study Design Sixteen resected condyles of individuals undergoing TMJ replacement were collected and used as a sample. These condyles were then radiographically imaged using clinically oriented dental cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and research oriented micro-computed tomography (micro-CT). The CBCT scans were then compared to the gold standard micro-CT scans in terms of 21 bone imaging parameters. Descriptive histological investigation of the specimens was also performed. Results Significant correlations were found for several imaging parameters between the CBCT and micro-CT images including trabecular thickness (r=0.92), trabecular separation (r=0.78), bone volume (r=0.90), bone surface area (r=0.79), and degree of anisotropy measurements (r=0.77). Conclusions Measurements of trabecular thickness, trabecular separation, bone volume, bone surface area, and degree of anisotropy obtained from high resolution dental CBCT radiographs may make for suitable bone imaging biomarkers that can be utilized clinically and in future research.
