Description
Merve Kadioglu and co-authors present a 2025 study on jaw joint bones in patients set for jaw surgery. Before surgery, scans can show wear in the joint that links the jaw to the skull. The team read cone-beam scans from 103 patients, covering 206 joints in all. Patients were grouped by how their upper and lower jaws line up.
Flattening of the joint head was the most common change, found in near a third of joints. Hardening, erosion, spurs, and cysts were less common. Only hardening differed clearly across jaw groups, with more in one group. Sex showed no clear link. The authors urge scan checks before surgery, since joint wear may affect how stable the result is.
