Background: Research using magnetic resonance imaging analysis has shown that internal temporomandibular joint derangement is associated with significantly greater horizontal condylar angle. However, the association between osteoarthritic (OA) bony changes as shown on computed tomography and horizontal condylar angle has never been evaluated.
Objective: To investigate the relationship between mandibular condylar angle and OA degenerative changes.
Study Design: This is a retrospective study using cone beam computed tomography images and reports from 60 patients with unilateral OA degenerative changes and 43 control patients with no OA-affected joints.
Results: Condylar angles in the joints of control patients and the unaffected joints in OA patients were not significantly different. The mean horizontal condylar angle in the unilaterally OA-affected joints (29.5° ± 10.5°) was larger than in the contralateral unaffected joints (22.5° ± 7.7°) (P < .001). In the OA-affected joints, flattening and erosion of the articular eminence was associated with a greater condylar angle (P < .05).
Conclusions: Moderate to severe degenerative temporomandibular joint change is associated with greater horizontal condylar angle.

Malocclusion Associated With Temporomandibular Joint Anterior Disc Displacement and Condylar Resorption in Adolescents: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Background: Anterior disc displacement (ADD) is the most common type of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) internal derangement and may lead to condylar resorption (CR) during the adolescence period, but the specific malocclusion associated with ADD and CR remains unclear.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the malocclusion associated with TMJ ADD and CR in adolescents.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included a clinical examination of adolescent patients aged 11-19 years.

The study aimed to compare the morphometric and morphologic analyses of the bone structures of temporomandibular joint and masticatory muscles on Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in 62 healthy subjects and 33 subjects with temporomandibular dysfunction (TMDS) aged between 18 and 56 years. In addition, a machine learning (ML) pipeline involving the Random Forest classifier was used to automatically detect TMDS. Thirty parameters (including age and gender) associated with the condylar process, articular tubercle, mandibular fossa, ramus mandible, joint space, and masticatory muscles were examined using CBCT.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the rotational alignment of the distal femur during distal femoral replacement surgery, an area where standard references are often lacking.
- It involved analysis of CT scans from adults, measuring angles related to various anatomical landmarks at different distances from the joint line, revealing distinct patterns of rotation.
- The findings suggest that while the Whiteside line is a reliable reference for positioning the femoral implant, attention must be paid to other anatomical features to avoid improper internal rotation at higher resection levels.
A clinical comparative analysis using an optical tracking device versus conventional tracking device in the production of occlusal appliances.

Purpose: Optical tracking devices (OTDs) hold promise for enhancing patient-centered prostheses, but their efficacy remains underexplored. This clinical study aimed to comprehensively evaluate differences in static and dynamic occlusions among occlusal appliances fabricated using optical tracking, conventional tracking, and average articulator values (AAVs), providing insights into their efficacy in clinical and research-based practices.
Materials And Methods: Twelve dentate participants aged over 25 years, with Angle Class I and II occlusal relationships, were enrolled.

: The main aim of this research was to assess the reliability of two systems designed specifically for condylar movement recording using condylar slope and Bennett angle information. The objectives were to evaluate the validity of two subsequent null hypotheses: (1) there is no significant difference between the measurements of condylar slope and Bennett angle taken at T0 (initial) and T1 (after one week) using the same equipment; (2) there is no notable difference in the values of the condylar slope and Bennett angle measurements obtained using Modjaw and Cadiax 2. : An observational, descriptive, and prospective study was conducted with a selected group of 25 individuals (13 females and 12 males) aged between 22 and 27.
