The relation of age and handedness to condylar asymmetry in a group of edentulous patients with a temporomandibular disorder of arthrogenous origin

SUMMARY A group of edentulous patients with a temporomandibular disorder of arthrogenous origin was found to have a mean asymmetry index of 7.38%. This was lower than a group with a disorder of myogenous origin, but higher than a control group of non‐patients. A graph of age vs. asymmetry index showed no correlation, in keeping with similar results found in a group of patients with a disorder of myogenous origin.
