Accuracy and Reliability of Cone-Beam Computed Tomography for Linear and Volumetric Mandibular Condyle Measurements. A Human Cadaver Study

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
The accuracy of Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) on linear and volumetric measurements on condyles has only been assessed on dry skulls. The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability and accuracy of linear and volumetric measurements of ...

Comparative and functional anatomy of masticatory muscles and bite force in opossums (Didelphimorphia, Didelphidae)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
We describe the functional anatomy of masticatory muscles in nine opossums, finding a generalized anatomical pattern with differences related to skull morphology. Variation in quantitative myological data and estimated bite force was mostly related to size, and the increase in bite force supports dietary diversification associated with size increase ...

Unveiling a rare case of osteochondroma on the lateral pole of the mandibular condyle: An in-depth exploration of literature

open access: yesOral Oncology Reports, 2023
Osteochondroma is a rare bone tumor. Its occurrence in the maxillofacial region is rare due to the intramembranous development of facial bones. According to previous literature, the mandibular condyle is an infrequent site of involvement, with the medial

Stereolithographic model-assisted reconstruction of the mandibular condyle with a vascularized fibular flap following hemimandibulectomy: Evaluation of morphological and functional outcomes

open access: yesOncology Letters, 2017
The vascularized fibular flap is one of the standard treatment choices for the reconstruction of the mandible; however, the consequences of condylar restoration have not previously been reported.

The relationship between form and function of the carnivore mandible

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Dietary morphology diversified extensively in Carnivoraformes (living Carnivora and their stem relatives) during the Cenozoic (the last 66 million years) as they evolved to capture, handle, and process new animal and plant diets. We used 3D geometric morphometrics, mechanical advantage, and finite element analysis to test the evolutionary ...

Morphological evolution of the mammalian jaw adductor complex [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The evolution of the mammalian jaw during the transition from non-mammalian synapsids to crown mammals is a key event in vertebrate history and characterised by the gradual reduction of its individual bones into a single element and the concomitant ...

Metastasis in the mandibular condyle: a case report

open access: yesJournal of Medical Case Reports, 2017
BackgroundMost bone metastases are observed in the trunk of the body. Metastasis in the mandibular condyle is rare. In many case reports, temporary common temporomandibular joint disorder-like symptoms can be a sign of relapse and metastasis.Case ...
