Technical route of the study. 1. Constructing the 3-dimensional mandibular segmentations. 2. Performing regional registration and superimposition based on the coronoid process, sigmoid notch and mandibular body 3. Generating the condylar surface model 4. Measuring the distance and color; vector map generation 5. Evaluating resorption and apposition after area specification, 3D slicer (v. 4.11.0, Slicer, http://www.slicer.org).
