Aim. The aim of the present study was to examine the relationship between articular eminence inclination, height, and thickness of the roof of the glenoid fossa (RGF) according to age and gender and to assess condyle morphology including incidental findings of osseous characteristics associated with osteoarthritis (OA) of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).Materials and Methods. CBCT images of 105 patients were evaluated retrospectively. For articular eminence inclination and height, axial views on which the condylar processes were seen with their widest mediolateral extent being used as a reference view for secondary reconstruction. Condyle morphology was categorized both in the sagittal and coronal plane.Results. The mean values of eminence inclination and height of males were higher than those of females (P<0.05). There were significant differences in the RGF thickness in relation to sagittal condyle morphology. Among the group of OA, the mean value of the RGF thickness for “OA-osteophyte” group was the highest (1.59 mm), whereas the lowest RGF values were seen in the “OA-flattening.”Conclusion. The sagittal osteoarthritic changes may have an effect on RGF thickness by mechanical stimulation and changed stress distribution. Gender has a significant effect on eminence height (Eh) and inclination.

Background: Clinicians should assess and monitor mandibular canal (MC) to achieve an uneventful and successful final result. Two dimensional techniques like panoramic radiography, intra oral periapical radiographs are commonly used for assessment of MC, along with three dimensional techniques like cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).Objectives: To assess the radiologic modalities and assessment criteria used by clinically practicing dental surgeons when determining the proximity of MC to third molars.Method: A questionnaire based study was carried out among national and international oral maxillofacial surgeons and general dental practitioners. Data were fed to SPSS software version 21 for descriptive statistics.Result: Most of the participants (54.7%) in the study preferred combination of panoramic radiograph and CBCT for determining the relationship of mandibular canal and third molars measures.Conclusion: Initial screening can be carried out using panoramic radiograph which is a popular method in determining the relation between the third molar and mandibular canal in spite of some limitations. Cone Beam Computed Tomography is an important three-dimensional imaging technique which is a preferred method amongst most dental surgeons.Journal of BP Koirala Institute of Health Sciences, Vol. 1, No. 1, 2018, page: 44-50
