They were divided into two groups. Group I : unilaterally symptomatic TMJ patients and group II : bilaterally symptomatic TMJ patients. The aim of this study was to compare between both TMJs in unilaterally and bilaterally symptomatic pa- tients through a tomographic analysis . Detailed corrected lateral tomography, using Scanora multi- modal system, was performed for every patient for both joints in centric occlusion as well as at max- imal mouth opening positions. To assess the condylar position in relation to the glenoid fossa in centric occlusion and condylar translation at maximal mouth opening as well as joint space pa- rameters, special linear and angular measurements were calculated, recorded, and statisitically an- alyzed. Data analysis revealed that there was no significance of difference between the different tomographic variables measured in both TMJs in bilaterally and unilaterally symptomatic patients. Great care should be directed to the asymptomatic side in patients with unilateral TMJ complain to exclude any joint abnormality.  ISSN : 0  Journal Name : Egyptian Dental Journal  Volume : 48  Issue Number : 1  Publishing Year : 2002 AH 2002 AD  Article Type : Article  Added Date : Tuesday, May 6, 2008  Researchers Researcher Name (Arabic) Researcher Name (English) Researcher Type Dr Grade Email إيمان أحمد Ahmed, Eman Investigator Doctorate   نشوة محمد Mohamed, Nashwa Researcher Doctorate   سحر أحمد Ahmed, Sahar Researcher Doctorate   Files File Name Type Description  COMPARATIVE TOMOGRAPHIC STUDY OF BOTH.pdf pdf   Back To Researches Page
