Exploring the Influence of Condylar Height on TMJ Loading and Osseous Condition

Posted: November 22, 2024
The article delves into the associations between condylar height relative to the occlusal plane (CHO) and condylar osseous condition, as well as the impact on TMJ loading. Through 3D measurements and finite element analysis, the study found that a smaller Angle α (representing CHO ratio) correlated with osseous destruction. Modifications in CHO and mandibular plane inclination led to changes in condylar stress loading, suggesting a potential link between CHO, osseous condition, and TMJ stress overload. The study highlights the significance of assessing CHO for reducing the risk of TMJ stress overload.
