Quantitative and Qualitative Measurements of TMJ: Assessing Joint Spaces, Morphology, and Bone Mineral Density. 1) Quantitative measurements: Assessing Joint Spaces (A) AJS: anterior joint space, SJS: superior joint space, PJS: posterior joint space; (B) CMS: coronal medial space, CLS: coronal lateral space. TMJ morphology measurement: (C) CL1: condyle anteroposterior diameter; (D) CL2: condyle mediolateral diameter, (E) CH: condyle height; FH: Fossa height; (F) β: condylar slope, θ: the inclination of the articular eminence. 2) Qualitative measurements (G) The bone mineral density of the condyle in the three selected sites in the sagittal plane AS: anterior slope, SS: superior slope, PS: posterior slope; (H) the bone mineral density of the condyle in the coronal plane MS: medial slope, LS: lateral slope. A = anterior direction, P = posterior direction, T = top direction, B = bottom direction, R = right direction, L = left direction
