Feasibility of differential quantification of 3D temporomandibular kinematics during various oral activities using a cone-beam computed tomography-based 3D fluoroscopic method

Background/purpose: The measurement of mandibular kinematics is critical for studying the function of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and for relevant clinical applications. However, none of the existing methods allows the measurement of three-dimensional (3D) in vivo motion of the joint during dy...
