Retrospective study assesses articular eminence morphology in 50 Iraqi adults, suggesting implications for TMJ evaluation.
Key Points
Articular eminence morphology showed significant shape-dependent variations in inclination and height, with implications for temporomandibular joint function.
Box-shaped eminences were most common on the left side (60%), while sigmoid forms predominated on the right (52%), indicating bilateral differences.
Statistical analysis revealed a strong correlation between inclination and height, suggesting a robust relationship in TMJ anatomy.
Height and inclination exhibited strong bilateral symmetry, influenced more by AE shape than by age or sex differences.
