Evaluation of the dimensions, morphology, and position of the mandibular condyles in individuals with neurofibromatosis 1: a case-control study.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the mandibular condyles of neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) individuals without facial plexiform neurofibroma using cone beam computed tomography images.

Materials And Methods: Eighty cone beam computed tomography scans (160 mandibular condyles) were analyzed: 40 from NF1 individuals (study group) and 40 from individuals without NF1 (control group). The anteroposterior and mediolateral dimensions, height, and volume of the mandibular condyles were measured.
