Characteristics of maxillofacial morphology of Angle Class II patients with temporomandibular disorders involving crepitus

Conclusion Significant smaller condylar ratio of Class II patients with crepitus suggested osseous changes in the condyle. Significant differences existed between morphological maxillofacial characteristics of Class II patients with and without crepitus. Overjet in Class II patients with crepitus correlated significantly with ramus height, attributed to resorbed deterioration and dysfunctional remodeling of the condyle.
