This article investigates the influence of occlusion on condylar position as seen on TMJ tomograms in a group of 44 young adults with no histories of orthodontic or occlusal therapy and no objective signs of masticatory dysfunction; the sample was screened from a population of 253 students. Nonconcentric condylar position at ICP was a feature of Class II malocclusion with significantly more anterior positions in Class II, Division 1 than in Class I. Condylar position was unrelated to the amount of sagittal RCP-ICP slide, although most slides were less than 0.5 mm. The frequency of lateral slides was low, but was mildly related to bilaterally asymmetric condylar positions. Position was unrelated to the degree of overbite, which ranged from 0 to 10 mm. Bilateral condylar position asymmetry was not related to the direction of dental midline discrepancy, which ranged from 0 to 2 mm. No open bites or mandibular overjets were seen in this asymptomatic normal sample.
