Abstract

Background: Radiographic features of remodeling are difficult to analyze. This has led to the popularity of using digital volumetric tomography (DVT) for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) imaging. To understand variations in normal anatomy and morphology of the condyle and temporal components of the TMJ, it is necessary to differentiate normal variant from pathology. Methods: A total of 160 condyle and temporal components of TMJ in patients with asymptomatic TMJ were assessed by two observers using orthopantomograph (OPG) and compared with DVT using axial, coronal, and sagittal sections for the different condylar and temporal changes separately. Different relationship between variables were evaluated and statistically analyzed. Results: The assessment made by two observers showed agreement between two observers for OPG and DVT (P
