Abstract: PURPOSE: This study was aimed to measure and analyze relevant data in adult bilateral temporomandibular joint (TMJ) using spiral CT scanning, and provide basis for research and development of standard TMJ prosthesis. METHODS: Eighty adults without TMJ diseases were selected to undergo spiral CT examination, cranio-mandibular bones were reconstructed and measured with Simplant Pro 11.04 software. SAS 8.02 software package was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS: Satisfactory reconstruction images were acquired in 400 patients. Relevant data of zygomatic arch, articular fossa, TMJ condyle and mandible was obtained. CONCLUSIONS: The results and analysis of TMJ-relevant anatomic data can provide support for research and development of standard total TMJ prosthesis.
