Ten CBCT scans of asymptomatic patients were evaluated on sagittal slices to obtain condylar position in temporomandibular joint. Measurements focused on antero-posterior and superior-inferior position of the condyle. The study the study was performed to investigate reproducibility of the method described before using Dahlberg formula. The method seems to be fair reproducible.
