Objective: To compare healthy and affected joints of patients with the unilateral temporomandibular disorder (TMD) via morphometric measurements of radiographic images. Material and Methods: Forty-one patients aged 16 to 56 years were included in the research. All individuals had chronic unilateral TMD and at least one of the following symptoms had to be unilaterally present in patients: joint pain, joint sound or movement limitation. In order to evaluate a total of 82 temporomandibular joints, 3 angular and 3 linear measurements on orthopantomogram (OPG) and 2 angular and 12 linear measurements on lateral temporomandibular joints image (LTI) were performed. AudaxCeph Version 5.X orthodontic software was used for morphometric measurements. The findings were compared using Student's t-test and Mann-Whitney U test. Results: No significant difference was found between the healthy side and the affected side in all parameters of both OPG and LTI assessments (p>0.05). Conclusion: In patients with unilateral TMD, the hard tissue characteristics of healthy and affected sides were similar.

Amaç: Radyografik görüntülerin morfometrik ölçümleriyle tek taraflı temporomandibular bozukluk (TMB) hastalarının sağlıklı ve etkilenmiş eklemlerini karşılaştırmak. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Araştırmaya 16-56 yaş arası 41 hasta dâhil edildi. Tüm bireyler kronik tek taraflı TMB'ye sahipti ve hastalarda aşağıdaki semptomlardan en az birinin tek taraflı olması gerekiyordu; eklem ağrısı, eklem sesi veya hareket kısıtlılığı. Toplamda 82 temporomandibular eklemi değerlendirmek için ortopantomogramda (OPG) 3 açı ve 3 uzunluk ölçümü ve lateral temporomandibular eklem görüntüsünde (LTG) 2 açı ve 12 uzunluk ölçümü yapıldı. Morfometrik ölçümler için AudaxCeph Version 5.X ortodontik yazılımı kullanıldı. Bulgular Student t-testi ve Mann-Whitney U testi kullanılarak karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: Hem OPG hem de LTG değerlendirmelerinin tüm parametrelerinde sağlıklı taraf ile etkilenen taraf arasında anlamlı bir fark bulunmadı (p>0,05). Sonuç: Tek taraflı TMB şikâyeti olan hastaların sert doku sagittal yön değerlendirmelerinde belirtilen özellikler sağlıklı ve etkilenen taraflarda benzerdi.
