The Craniomandibular articulation (CMA) is a bicondylar articulation, with the mouth closed; the condyle is located in a centric position in glenoid fossae. Actually the morphology and function are intimately related. The loads to which the CMA is subjected vary according to the subjects' dentofacial morphologies. Therefore it can be suggested that both the condyle and the mandibular fossae differ in morphology in subjects with various malocclusions. All difficulties of Craniomandibular articulation imaging might be eliminated by using computed tomography (CT), which allows precise...
