Condylar position and Class II deep-bite, no-overjet malocclusions.
By means of corrected tomography, the positions of the condyles in 19 click-free persons with Class II malocclusions characterized by a bite depth greater than 50%, no overjet, and an interincisal angle of greater than 140 degrees were compared with a positions of the condyles in 21 control subjects. Average condylar position in both groups was concentric and no significant differences between groups were found. In addition, no significant correlation was noted when condylar position was related to bite depth.
