Abstract
Background: Changes in occlusion is necessary to be taken into consideration for its importance as a causative factor for variability in the structural morphology of mandibular condyles which in turn may cause internal disorders of the Tempromandibular joint.
Objectives: To investigate the relationship of different Angle classification Cl I, Cl II, Cl III, on the trabecular structure of the mandibular condyles shape through Orthopantomography and demonstrate the most prominent shape in relation with angle classification.
Materials and Methods: A retrospective study in which 4000 condyle process were examined using Orthopantomograph (OPG). The patient sample was divided into three groups according to angled classification: class I, class II, class III then The shape of condyle was detected for both sides.
Results: The present study concludes the round or oval shape condyle mostly seen among Iraqi population in Baghdad city, then flat shape, crooked finger shape and bifid condyle are rare.
Conclusion: the condylar shapes, into six different type is a comprehensive way to describe the variation in the anatomy of condyle, which are: oval, flat, diamond , irregular, crooked finger, and bifid.
