Positional and dimensional temporomandibular joint changes after correction of posterior crossbite in growing patients: A systematic review
The Angle Orthodontist Jun 08, 2018
Ellabban MT, et al. - Experts determined the positional and dimensional temporomandibular joint (TMJ) changes after correction of posterior crossbite in growing patients. One study suggested that in the treatment group, significant reduction occured in the condylar positional difference between centric and habitual occlusion was reported, while in the control group, no spontaneous correction of condylar asymmetric position occurred. In both treatment and control groups, minor changes of condylar position were reported in the other study. In order to form a solid and firm conclusion, insufficient and weak evidence was provided by the findings. Regarding the positional and dimensional impacts of posterior crossbite correction on the TMJs, authors noted a poor, very low-quality evidence.
