Three-dimensional evaluation of TMJ parameters in Class II and Class III patients.

The aim of our study was to assess condylar parameters and condyle position within glenoid fossa of TMJ in volumetric 3D imaging in patients with Class II and Class III malocclusions. MATERIALS AND METHODS. The study group included 15 patients with severe skeletal Class II (mean age 18.

Three-dimensional evaluation of musculoskeletal in Class II and Class III patients.

Objective: To evaluate and compare dimensional morphology of masseter and medial pterygoid muscles and mandibular skeletal parameters between subjects with skeletal Class II and Class III.

Materials And Methods: The sample consisted of 13 patients with skeletal Class II and 10 patients with skeletal Class III prior to the start of combined orthodontic treatment and orthognathic surgery with correspondence to definite inclusion and exclusion criteria. Magnetic resonance imaging was performed for mandibular muscles and following 2D and 3D measurements were done: cross-sectional area (CSA), thickness, width, longitudinal dimension and volume.

Condylar and mandibular morphological criteria in the 2D and 3D MSCT imaging for patients with Class II division 1 subdivision malocclusion.

Unlabelled: The condyle has a special multidirectional capacity for the growth and adaptive remodeling of temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Being part of TMJ structure, it plays an important role in the stability of long-term treatment results for orthodontic and orthognatic patients with Class II division 1 subdivision malocclusions. Several computed tomography (CT) investigation modes have been used to evaluate the craniofacial morphology and particularly, for TMJ.
