Side-specific condylar and articular eminence remodeling in adolescent unilateral TMJ osteoarthritis assessed by longitudinal CBCT

Key Points

• To investigate the side-specific remodeling of the condylar and articular eminence in adolescents with unilateral TMJ osteoarthritis.
• Conducted a longitudinal analysis using Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scans.
• Monitored changes in condylar and articular eminence structures over time.
• Evaluated the effects of stabilization splint therapy on skeletal responses.
• Observations indicated asymmetric remodeling of both condylar and articular eminence regions.
• Stabilization splint therapy led to complementary skeletal changes across different sides.
