Variation of condylar asymmetry with age in edentulous patients with a craniomandibular disorder of myogenous origin.

The effect of age on condylar asymmetry in dentate patients has already been investigated and a clear relationship between these two variables was established both for a group with an arthrogenous origin and with myogenous origin of pain. In this study, the mean asymmetry index for an edentulous group of patients with a craniomandibular disorder of myogenous origin was found to be 12.55%, less than that for both dentate groups. There appeared to be no correlation between age and the asymmetry index in this group, suggesting that different mechanisms may be at work in the development of these disorders.

Condylar asymmetry and its relation to age in a group of patients with a craniomandibular disorder of myogenous origin.

A group of patients with a myogenous origin of craniomandibular disorders was found to show a variation of condylar asymmetry with age. The curve obtained by plotting patient age against their asymmetry index was parabolic in nature. This differed from a group of patients with an arthrogenous origin of pain, where a linear correlation with age, with a negative slope, had previously been found. The mean asymmetry index for this group of patients was found to be 23.77%. This is higher than that reported for a group of patients with a craniomandibular disorder of arthrogenous origin, namely 18.76%. It appears that these two groups differ in the variation of condylar asymmetry with age..

The effect of age on condylar asymmetry in patients with craniomandibular disorders of arthrogenous origin.

A group of patients with a craniomandibular disorder of arthrogenous origin demonstrated an age-related variation of condylar asymmetry with age. This may reflect a greater depletion of the mesenchymal cell layer, which is responsible for adaptation of the articular surface as age increases. This would then result in greater deterioration of the articular surfaces and a consequent decrease in condylar asymmetry.
