Evaluation of TMJ Bone Degeneration Using CBCT in Kennedy Class I and II Patients

Key Points

• To assess the extent of bone degeneration in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) among patients with partial edentulism classified as Kennedy Class I and II.
• Utilized cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) for imaging TMJ condition.
• Assessed bone quality and structure in patients with specific Kennedy classifications.
• Compared findings between Kennedy Class I and II patients.
• Identified varying degrees of bone degeneration in TMJ between the two Kennedy classifications.
• Provided quantitative measurements related to bone density and integrity.
• Found a correlation between partial edentulism and TMJ degenerative changes.
