The articular eminence angle of 30 patients with TMJ dysfunctions was measured on cephalometric X-ray and compared with the joints of 30 patients without TMJ disorders. The inclination of the posterior slope of the articular eminence was 52.9 degrees with a mean difference compared to the control group of 1.7 degrees. The vertical parameters appeared of less importance than the antero-posterior to produce TMJ dysfunction. In the skeletal class II group a steeper inclination, with a mean difference compared to the control group of 8.6 degrees, was seen in the symptomatic patients. The study of this angle could have a diagnostic and prognostic utility in the treatment of dysfunctional class II malocclusions.
对30例颞下颌关节功能紊乱患者的关节结节角进行头影测量X线片测量，并与30例无颞下颌关节疾病患者的关节进行比较。关节结节后斜面的倾斜度为52.9度，与对照组相比平均相差1.7度。垂直参数在导致颞下颌关节功能紊乱方面似乎不如前后参数重要。在骨骼Ⅱ类组中，有症状的患者出现更陡的倾斜度，与对照组相比平均相差8.6度。对该角度的研究在Ⅱ类错合功能紊乱的治疗中可能具有诊断和预后价值。
