Assessing the Relationship Between the Eichner Index and Articular Eminence Inclination in Temporomandibular Dysfunction: A Cross‐Sectional Study
This study revealed that tooth loss impacts the AEI, with patients who have more missing teeth exhibiting a significantly flatter AEI. To prevent morphological changes and potential future issues in the TMJ, it is essential to ensure proper dental care and maintain occlusal support for these patients.
