title: Evaluation of the relationship between vertical facial height and the morphology of the temporomandibular joint in skeletal class 3 patients.
abstract: Class 3 patients may have relatively high prevalences of temporomandibular disorders; therefore, joint morphology can be important for their orthodontic-surgical treatments. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between facial height and TMJ morphology in skeletal class 3 patients.
