Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of multiheaded condyles (MHC) in a group of Turkish subjects using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).

Methods: In this retrospective study, CBCT scans of 975 patients (546 female, 429 male; age 15-89 years, mean age 42.46 years) who were referred to Istanbul University Faculty of Dentistry, Department of Dentomaxillofacial Radiology between 2015 and 2021 were evaluated. Bifid and trifid mandibular condyle cases were analyzed according to the patients' age, gender, and laterality, and their frequencies were determined statistically.

Results: A multiheaded mandibular condyle (MHC) was detected in 57 of the 975 patients (546 female, 429 male). MHC was diagnosed unilaterally in 49 patients; in 8 patients, it was observed bilaterally. A bifid mandibular condyle (BMC) was detected in 54 patients. A trifid mandibular condyle (TMC) was found in 2 women, and one tetrafid mandibular condyle was seen in 1 woman.

Conclusions: The prevalence of MHC was 5.84% in our proband, which is higher than in previous studies. There was no statistically significant difference between the prevalence of MHC in males or females.

多头下颌髁。

目的：本研究旨在使用锥形束计算机断层扫描（CBCT）评估一组土耳其受试者中多发性髁突（MHC）的患病率。方法：在这项回顾性研究中，对2015年至2021年间转诊至伊斯坦布尔大学牙科学院牙颌面放射学系的975名患者（546名女性，429名男性；年龄15-89岁，平均年龄42.46岁）的CBCT扫描进行了评估。根据患者的年龄、性别和偏侧性分析下颌髁突分叉和三分叉的病例，并统计其频率。结果：975例患者中有57例（女性546例，男性429例）检测到多头髁突（MHC）。49例患者单侧诊断为MHC；双侧观察8例。在54例患者中检测到下颌髁裂（BMC）。在2名女性中发现了一个三裂下颌髁（TMC），在1名女性中看到了一个四裂下颌髁。结论：我们的先证者MHC的患病率为5.84%，高于以往的研究。男性和女性MHC的患病率之间没有统计学上的显著差异。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Orofacial Orthopedics provides orthodontists and dentists who are also actively interested in orthodontics, whether in university clinics or private practice, with highly authoritative and up-to-date information based on experimental and clinical research. The journal is one of the leading publications for the promulgation of the results of original work both in the areas of scientific and clinical orthodontics and related areas. All articles undergo peer review before publication. The German Society of Orthodontics (DGKFO) also publishes in the journal important communications, statements and announcements.
