Mandibular Condyle Position in Maximum Mouth Opening: A Magnetic Resonance Imaging Evaluation

The purpose of this study was to analyze the condylar position in the maximum mouth opening in a group of individuals with and without temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD) using corrected magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). It was analyzed the MRIs of 200 temporomandibular joint (TMJ) of 100 adults...
