Abstract

We aimed to determine whether correlations existed between the bone quality of the mandibular condyle and articular eminence and degenerative bone changes (flattening, osteophytes, erosion, sclerosis, and pseudocysts) of the mandibular condyle and articular eminence in temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD).
