AB  - OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of 
      condylar degeneration in patients with anterior open bites (AOB). STUDY DESIGN: 
      Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans of 194 patients with AOB (108 with 
      skeletal open bites and 86 with dental open bites) and 100 patients serving as 
      controls were included in this retrospective study. Two oral and maxillofacial 
      radiologists categorized each of the 588 condyles as normal, degenerative-active, 
      or degenerative-repair. The chi(2) analysis with Bonferroni adjustment was used to 
      evaluate the relationship of condylar status (normal vs degenerative) to anterior 
      open bites. RESULTS: Of the 103 degenerative condyles, there were 59 in the group 
      with skeletal open bites, 14 in the group with dental open bites, and 30 in the 
      control group. Condylar degeneration occurred twice as frequently in patients 
      with skeletal open bites as it did in the control group (P < .0001). Conversely, 
      a greater frequency of normal condyles was found in the group of patients with 
      dental open bites (P = .0002). The group with skeletal open bites also showed a 
      significantly higher frequency of bilateral degenerative condyles (P = .0001). 
      The frequency of condylar degeneration did not differ significantly between 
      female and male individuals. CONCLUSIONS: Degenerative condylar change was 
      significantly more likely in patients with skeletal open bites and less likely in 
      patients with dental open bites.
