94 patients (46 females and 48 males; 15–30 years old)
Resultant rendering reconstructions of the left and right temporal mandibular joints (TMJs) were obtained. Subjects were then classified on the basis of ANB angle in three classes (I, II, III). The data of the different classes were compared.
20 patients (14 girls and six boys; mean age years)
Condylar asymmetry and a wide variety of condylar destruction patterns were observed in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis assessed by cone-beam computed tomography.
42 temporomandibular joints were scanned, respectively, with the CBCT units ProMax® 3D (Planmeca Oy, Helsinki, Finland) and DCT PRO (Vatech, Co., Ltd., Yongin-Si, Republic of Korea) at normal and high resolutions. Seven dentists evaluated all the test images.

Application of cone beam computed tomography for assessment of the temporomandibular joints.
319 patients (250 women and 69 men, range 10–89 years old) Data from adult subjects were excluded
The differences in percentage of bone changes among the categories of mobility were compared (ipo, iper, normo, and based on mouth opening) and the right and left sides.
The mandible was isolated from other craniofacial structures; the whole mandibular volume and its components’ volumes (condyle, ramus, hemibody, and hemisymphysis on right side and on left side) were calculated.
Three linear three-dimensional measurements were made on each of the 50 condyles at 8 different Hounsfield unit (HU) windows. These measurements were compared with the anatomic truth.
Joint-space distances between the condyle and glenoid fossa were measured at the medial, central, and lateral positions in the coronal plane and medial and lateral positions in the axial plane.
