    (Universidad de Cuenca, 2025-04-28) Astudillo Uchupaille, Andrea Michelle; Palacios Astudillo, Iván Andrés
    Background: The results of epidemiological studies on the prevalence of temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis vary due to the existence of different diagnostic criteria for the condition. Alzahrani et al. in 2020 found that the prevalence of osteoarthritis using cone beam computed tomography analysis was 65.5% in American individuals. Objective: To determine the prevalence of temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis using CONE BEAM in patients from the Faculty of Dentistry of the University of Cuenca during the period 2017-2023. Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional, quantitative study was carried out, where a total of 201 CT scans obtained in the imaging department of the Faculty of Dentistry of the University of Cuenca during the period 2017-2023 were evaluated, that is, a total of 402 temporomandibular joints were analyzed, in which certain imaging characteristics such as subarticular bone erosion, joint flattening, osteophytes, subchondral cysts, and sclerosis were analyzed. Results: According to the prevalence of osteoarthritis, it was obtained that 31.1% of the CT scans analyzed were diagnosed with osteoarthritis. Observing that of the total number of patients with osteoarthritis, 8.5% were men and 22.6% were women. Of the joints analyzed, 27.3% had osteophytes, 7.4% erosion, and 17.4% pseudocysts. Conclusion: Finally, it was found that less than half of the joints analyzed presented osteoarthritis, showing that the female sex was the most affected, as well as ages between 18 and 28 years.
