Abstract

The aim of the present study was to investigate morphology of temporomandibular joint using cone beam computer tomography in Croatian population. Study included 45 adults (32 females and 13 males). Articular eminence inclination, glenoid fossa width, glenoid fossa depth, condylar length, condylar width and condylar type were determined for each temporomandibular joint. Since independent samples t test didn't show significant differences between left and right sides for all of observed parameters (α=0.05), left and right side values were treated as one sample. Determined glenoid fossa depth was 7.11±2.23, glenoid fossa width 19.22±2.58, condylar width 7.54±1.59, condylar length 17.95±2.81 and articular eminence inclination was 34.59±7.35 degrees. Most of condyles were classified as convex type (32.5%), followed by flattened (23.8%), rounded (11.3%) and angled (10%). Undefined (other type) were classified 22.5% of condyles. Cone beam computer tomography measurements of temporomandibular joint bone structures in Croatian population showed similarities to most of previous research (with different population studied). Still, prevalence of different condylar types differ from most of previous studies. Interindividual differences in temporomandibular joint morphology are expected.

锥形束计算机断层扫描在颞下颌关节形态学研究中的应用

本研究的目的是利用锥束计算机断层扫描研究克罗地亚人群的颞下颌关节形态。研究对象为45名成年人(32名女性，13名男性)。测定每个颞下颌关节的关节隆起倾斜度、盂窝宽度、盂窝深度、髁长度、髁宽度和髁类型。由于独立样本t检验没有显示左右两侧所有观测参数的显著性差异(α=0.05)，因此将左右两侧的值作为一个样本处理。关节窝深度为7.11±2.23，关节窝宽度为19.22±2.58，关节突宽度为7.54±1.59，关节突长度为17.95±2.81，关节突倾角为34.59±7.35度。髁突多为凸型(32.5%)，其次为扁平型(23.8%)、圆形型(11.3%)和成角型(10%)。未定义(其他类型)的髁被分类为22.5%。克罗地亚人群颞下颌关节骨结构的锥形束计算机断层扫描测量显示与大多数先前的研究相似(研究的人群不同)。尽管如此，不同类型髁突的患病率与之前的大多数研究不同。预计个体间颞下颌关节形态的差异。
