Figure 2 Cone beam computed tomography images are shown in the sagittal axis (A, B). White arrowheads indicate articular eminence cortication. Classification of articular eminence cortication (AEC) describes the density and quality of cortical bone around the mandibular bone: (A) Type 2: There is partially homogeneous and discontinuous compact bone on the surface of the articular eminence. (B) Type 3: There is homogeneous and continuous compact bone on the articular eminence surface.
