Parameter

Signification

Clinical interpretation

Vpre

Condylar head volume before treatment

 

Vpost

Condylar head volume after treatment

 

dV

Volume Vpost minus Vpre

 

dT

Time interval between two CBCT scans

 

dV− 

Volume of Vpre minus overlapping area

Net decrease, bone resorption

dV + 

Volume of Vpost minus overlapping area

Net increase, bone deposition
