Abstract Summary and Conclusion This study aimed to assess the mandibular condyle morphology in different vertical skeletal patterns. Sixty-six cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans were selected from the archive of Oral Radiology Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Suez Canal University with no sex prediction, using Scanora, 3Dx cone beam computed tomography scanner, (Sorredex, Finland) set. Images from the cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) examinations will be acquired in a digital DICOM format then imported to OnDemand software application (OnDemand 3D, cypermed Inc, Korea) where bilateral evaluation of mandibular condyle will be carried out. The CBCT scans were divided equally into three groups (22scans in each group) according to their vertical skeletal pattern. Angles were extracted from reformatted lateral cephalometry from Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) The CBCT scans were divided into three groups according to their vertical skeletal pattern: group I of normal vertical skeletal pattern (normodivergent). group II of high angle cases (hyperdivergent). group III of low angle cases (hypodivergent). Selective angles of the condylar morphology were measured from the three groups and were compared. Summary and conclusion 90 Based on the results of the present study the following conclusion could be drawn: 1. There is a significant difference in the mean of most of the angles of the condylar morphology between the normal, high, and low vertical skeletal patterns. 2. The hypodivergent group (group III) showed higher significant differences than the other groups regarding the sagittal and axial plans. 3. the morphology of the mandibular condylar process affects The difference in the vertical skeletal patterns. |
