Interventions
Intervention1: 3 groups - To assess positional and morphological changes of
condyle in patients with apparently symmetrical face and
no TMD.
2. To assess positional and morphological changes of
con
with that of subjects with facial asymmetry
with/ without TMD.
Intervention2: Cone Beam Computed Tomography: CBCT equipment of the

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Condylar position within the glenoid fossa: Anterior, superior, and posterior joint spaces Depth of mandibular fossa Condylar morphology: Anteroposterior and mediolateral diameters Condylar angle to mid-sagittal plane Distance of condylar center to midline Asymmetry in geometric position between right and left condylesTimepoint: 6 months | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Association between condylar changes and presence of facial asymmetry and/or TMD symptoms. This includes: Correlation of morphological/positional deviations with clinical presence of: Facial asymmetry greater than 2 mm TMD symptoms (as diagnosed using a validated questionnaire) Differences in CBCT-derived metrics between the groups: Control group (symmetrical, no TMD) Facial asymmetry with TMD Facial asymmetry without TMD This outcome reflects the comparative and diagnostic significance of the findings.Timepoint: 6 months | — |
