Abstract

  Background: Temporomandibular disorder is a general term for oropharyngeal pain, which is the most common non-dental pain in the maxillofacial region. Imaging diagnosis is considered a useful adjunct in the diagnosis of temporomandibular disorders, especially conebeam computed tomography. Objectives: Evaluate the morphology features of temporomadibular joint in the temporomandibular disorder patients. Materials and methods: Thirty-two patients with temporomadibular disorder who was examed and treated at Odonto-Maxillo-Facial Hospital at Ho Chi Minh city from Jan,2021 to May,2021. Each patient was assessed the morphology features of temporomadibular joint include condyle shape and condyle-temporal fossa relationship. The data was analyzed by SPSS software. Results: Condyle head classify five shapes. In this classification, most condyle shape is triangle. The condyle-temporal fossa relationship was identified the joint space include anterior joint space, superior joint space and posterior joint space. The result is the joint space decrease from anterior to posterior. Conclusions: In temporomandibular disorder patients, the most of condyle have triangle shape. The condyle is located at posterior in the temporal fossa.
