Abstract
Fiftyone healthy volunteers underwent highresolution computerized tomography examination of the TMJs in the position of maximal intercuspidation according to a standardized protocol Frontal and sagittal reconstructions were then performed to obtain measurements and indexes in three planes of spaceCorrelations are observed with age gender amplitude of mouth opening and presence of dental abrasion The lateral stability index reflects the degree of mobility of the temporodiscal compartment of the joint The coverage index reflects how much the mandibular condyle is inserted into the articular fossa and may be related to the risk of occurrence and severity of regressive remodeling phenomena
