Abstract
Background: Changes in occlusion are necessary to be taken into consideration for their 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 Orthopantomo-graphy and demonstrate the most prominent shape in relation to angle classification. Material 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: This study concluded that round/oval shape condyle is most commonly seen among Iraqi population followed by flat shape, and the least common is crooked finger shape and bifid condyle. Conclusion: Six different types of condyle shapes were identified, proposed a classification of condylar shapes with 6 different types as follows: oval, flat, diamond, irregular, crooked finger, and bifid.
