Predictive Value of TMJ Tomographic Parameters for Hypermobility‐Related Outcomes and Mouth Opening Capacity

Key Points

To evaluate the predictive value of TMJ tomographic parameters on hypermobility-related outcomes and mouth opening capacity.
Analyzed tomographic parameters using CBCT imaging techniques.
Compared mouth opening measurements across different sexes and age groups.
Assessed associations between imaging predictors and functional measures.
Males exhibited greater mouth opening capacity than females.
Imaging predictors demonstrated only limited correlations with functional outcomes.
Age was found to protect against TMJ subluxation.

Abstract

Male sex was consistently associated with greater mouth opening, while imaging predictors showed only limited associations with functional measures. Age appeared protective against TMJ subluxation. CBCT parameters demonstrated limited predictive value for TMJ hypermobility-related outcomes.
