Assessment of Morphological Variation of the Mandibular Condylar Process, Coronoid Process, and Sigmoid Notch in Temporomandibular Joints of Adult Population Using Digital Orthopantomogram Based on Age and Gender –A Cross-sectional Study

Introduction: Orthopantomogram, a form of radiography that uses X-ray technology and is used in the diagnosis treatment planning various fields dentistry, has been found to be less expensive than other advanced imaging modalities such as computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. Objective: The aim study was evaluate shape mandibular condylar process, coronoid sigmoid notch age groups among gender. Methods: A conducted using 150 digital orthopantomograms patients. different shapes were traced computer Galileos software. Statistical analysis performed on data obtained. Chi-square test P-value which ascertained significant if <0.05. Results: commonly observed males females round, process triangular notches wide. These variations are most seen group 20–30 years. When compared between gender-wise age-wise, there no statistical significance differences with these variations. Conclusion: In present study, morphological variation adult population. Knowing can help detect gender, age, diagnoses pathologies.
