Abstract
A group of edentulous patients with a temporomandibular disorder of ar throgenous origin was found to have a mean asymmetry index of 7.38%. T his was lower than a group with a disorder of myogenous origin, but hi gher than a control group of non-patients. A graph of age vs. asymmetr y index showed no correlation, in keeping with similar results found i n a group of patients with a disorder of myogenous origin.
