Abstract

The purpose of this study was to assess condylar size in volumetric 3D imaging in patients with class I, class II, class III malocclusions. To evaluate the differences among the three experimental groups, the condylar values of men were analyzed. There was a significant difference in the measured values of height. Among the three experimental groups, the condylar measurements in women showed significant differences in height and width. This study is expected to be used for determining the connection between malocclusion and condyle as a base line data.
