Osteoarthritis of the TMJ and increase of the horizontal condylar angle. A longitudinal study

Our previous study of patients with unilateral TMJ osteoarthritis (OA) showed that the affected joints had greater horizontal condylar angle (HCA) than contralateral unaffected joints. However, it was unclear whether the HCA changes preceded or were the result of OA changes. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between HCA and OA progression in a longitudinal study.
