Spatial analysis of mandibular condyles in patients with temporomandibular disorders and normal controls using cone beam computed tomography.

Articular eminence may predispose to disc displacement since the shape of the articular eminence is related to the development of TMJ disc displacement.[ 19 ] Some studies found a gender difference in eminence inclination.[ 24 25 26 ] In the present study, eminence inclination was greater in males which are in accordance with other studies.[ 24 25 27 ] However, nonsignificant statistical differences in EH and angle inclination were observed between affected joints and normal counterparts in female groups, but with highly significant increase in eminence inclination in the affected joints of males group.
