Abstract

Background: Idiopathic condylar resorption (ICR) is a rare temporomandibular joint disease characterized by progressive condylar degeneration with an unknown etiology. A comprehensive quantitative analysis of the morphological differences in the condyle between ICR patients and normal individuals is crucial, yet limited by small sample sizes in existing literature.

Methods: This systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted following PRISMA guidelines. A random-effects model was employed to synthesize the mean differences in key condylar measurements between ICR patients and normal controls.

Results: The analysis revealed that ICR patients had significantly smaller condylar dimensions compared to normal individuals. The meta-analysis quantified the following reductions: Condylar height: -3.71 mm. Condylar width: -3.38 mm. Condylar length: -1.19 mm. Axial angle: -13.70° .

Conclusion: This study provides synthesized quantitative data on condylar morphology in ICR, however, the conclusions should be interpreted with caution due to the presence of heterogeneity and potential biases in the included studies.

特发性髁吸收患者与正常人的髁形态测量和差异：一项系统回顾和荟萃分析。

背景：特发性髁突吸收（Idiopathic condylar reption， ICR）是一种罕见的颞下颌关节疾病，以进行性髁突变性为特征，病因不明。对ICR患者与正常人髁突形态差异的全面定量分析至关重要，但现有文献样本量较小。方法：本系统综述和荟萃分析遵循PRISMA指南进行。采用随机效应模型综合ICR患者与正常对照之间关键髁突测量的平均差异。结果：分析显示ICR患者的髁突尺寸明显小于正常人。meta分析量化了以下复位：髁突高度：-3.71 mm。髁突宽度：-3.38毫米。髁长：-1.19 mm。轴向角：-13.70°。结论：本研究提供了ICR髁突形态的综合定量数据，然而，由于纳入的研究存在异质性和潜在的偏倚，结论应谨慎解释。

期刊介绍： CRANIO: The Journal of Craniomandibular & Sleep Practice is the oldest and largest journal in the world devoted to temporomandibular disorders, and now also includes articles on all aspects of sleep medicine. The Journal is multidisciplinary in its scope, with editorial board members from all areas of medicine and dentistry, including general dentists, oral surgeons, orthopaedists, radiologists, chiropractors, professors and behavioural scientists, physical therapists, acupuncturists, osteopathic and ear, nose and throat physicians. CRANIO publishes commendable works from outstanding researchers and clinicians in their respective fields. The multidisciplinary format allows individuals practicing with a TMD emphasis to stay abreast of related disciplines, as each issue presents multiple topics from overlapping areas of interest. CRANIO''s current readership (thousands) is comprised primarily of dentists; however, many physicians, physical therapists, chiropractors, osteopathic physicians and other related specialists subscribe and contribute to the Journal.
