Figure 1 Cone beam computed tomography images are shown in the sagittal axis (A–C). White arrowheads indicate cortication of the mandibular condyle. Classification of mandibular condyle cortication (MCC) describes the density and quality of cortical bone around the mandibular bone. (A) Type 1: There is no homogeneous and continuous compact bone in the periphery of the mandibular condyle. (B) Type 2: There is partially homogeneous and discontinuous compact bone in the periphery of the mandibular condyle. (C) Type 3: There is homogeneous and continuous compact bone in the periphery of the mandibular condyle.
