Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the connection between articular eminence cortication (AEC) and mandibular condyle cortication (MCC) in patients with anterior reduction disc displacement (ARDD) of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).
  • Out of 142 patients initially examined, 81 met the criteria for having ARDD, and various forms of cortication were classified from their imaging results.
  • The findings suggest a significant correlation between the loss of AEC and MCC with the diagnosis of ARDD, indicating these factors may serve as diagnostic criteria for the condition.

Objective: This study aimed to examine the coronoid foramen using CBCT not only according to its localization, distribution to gender and age but also to determine whether there are canals associated with the coronoid foramen and to identify them and their clinical significance.

Methods: 488 images obtained between 2022 and 2023 were retrospectively evaluated in sagittal, horizontal, and coronal sections. During the evaluation of the images, the number and localization of the coronoid foramen and the coronoid canals originating from this foramen were recorded and examined.
