Objective:
To evaluate side-specific bone growth and remodeling of the mandibular joint structures in adolescents with unilateral temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis after stabilization splint therapy.
Methods:
This retrospective study analyzed paired baseline and follow-up cone-beam computed tomography images from 132 adolescents treated with stabilization splints. Changes over time were calculated for linear and volumetric measurements of the mandibular condyle and articular eminence. Differences between affected and contralateral sides were statistically compared, with additional analyses adjusting for age and sex. Measurement reliability was assessed.
Results:
The contralateral side demonstrated greater increases in condylar dimensions, whereas the affected side showed limited condylar change with compensatory remodeling of the articular eminence.
Conclusion:
Stabilization splint therapy was associated with asymmetric but complementary skeletal responses during adolescence.
