Role of Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) in the Comprehensive Evaluation and Management Planning of Temporomandibular Joint Disorders.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMDs) encompass a range of functional and structural pathologies affecting the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), leading to pain, restricted movement, and quality-of-life impairment. Traditional imaging methods have limitations in providing accurate 3D assessments. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) offers high-resolution imaging with minimal radiation exposure. Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted on 60 patients (aged 18-50 years; mean age 31.8 ± 9.2 years) clinically diagnosed with TMD. CBCT scans were evaluated for condylar morphology, joint space, osteoarthritic changes, and disc displacement indicators. Clinical symptoms were correlated with CBCT findings to plan targeted interventions. Data were analyzed using SPSS v26.0, with significance set at Results: CBCT detected condylar erosion in 46.7% of patients, flattening in 38.3%, and osteophyte formation in 21.7%. The joint space asymmetry was present in 53.3% of cases. Patients with radiological signs of osteoarthrosis had significantly higher pain scores (VAS ≥ 6) compared to those without ( Conclusion: CBCT provides detailed structural visualization of the TMJ, allowing accurate diagnosis and more precise management planning of TMDs. Its use is recommended in patients with ambiguous clinical signs or chronic symptoms.
