Changes in the inclination of the articular eminence (AEI) can occur as a result of tooth loss or aging. The objective of this study was to investigate the association between the AEI and the Eichner Index.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study analyzed 162 cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images from patients with TMJ dysfunction. These images were categorized into three groups (A, B, and C) according to the Eichner Index. The posterior surface of the AEI was measured using the top\u2010roof line method. An ANOVA test was conducted to assess the relationship between the Eichner Index and AEI.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A statistically significant relationship has been found between the AEI and the Eichner Index (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.005).
