| Abstract |
| Background: Several investigations were undertaken to assess the temporomandibular joint's morphology and symmetry in various skeletal configurations. The purpose of this study was to use CBCT to examine TMJ morphology in class II malocclusion patients division 1 and division 2. Methods: Forty eight CBCT radiographs were collected and divided into 2 groups. Group 1 Class II division 1 and Group 2 Class II division 2 according to the cephalometric images extracted from Dolphin software and Webceph was used to do a cephalometric analysis. For all radiographs, the following spaces were measured in the sagittal plane: anterior joint space, superior joint space, posterior joint space, and depth of glenoid fossa using ProPlan 3.0 CMF software. The anterior joint space, superior joint space, posterior joint space, and depth of the glenoid fossa associated with the sagittal plane showed no statistically significant variations between the right and left sides in each group. Conclusion: Malocclusion can be thought of as either a cause or a result of temporomandibular joint diseases. There was no difference in the anatomy of the Temporomandibular joint between Class II division 1 and Class II division 2. |
