(2) A total of 102 Caucasian subjects were divided equally into two groups. The study group consisted of patients with PD, while the control group comprised healthy subjects. Ten parameters, including anterior joint space (AJS), superior joint space (SJS), posterior joint space (PJS), condyle head length (CHL), condylar neck width (CNW), minor axis of the condyle (MAC), long axis of the condyle (LAC), condylar axis inclination (CI), medial joint space (MJS), and lateral joint space (LJS), were measured using magnetic resonance images. The data were statistically analyzed using paired samples t-test and Student\u2019s t-test, with a significance level set at p &lt; 0.05. (3) In the PD group, all TMJ parameters showed a statistically significant difference between both sides of the face (p &lt; 0.05). However, in the control group, AJS, SJS, PJS, CHL, CNW, MAC, CI, MJS, and LJS did not show a statistically significant difference between both sides of the face (p &gt; 0.05), except for LAC (p &lt; 0.05). The asymmetry index values of AJS, SJS, PJS, CHL, CNW, MAC, CI, MJS, and LJS demonstrated a statistically significant difference between the study and control groups (p &lt; 0.05), except for LAC (p &gt; 0.05). (4) Within the limitations of this retrospective study, the findings suggest that TMJ morphology and asymmetry could be associated with PD.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics13152482","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,27]],"date-time":"2023-07-27T01:50:37Z","timestamp":1690422637000},"page":"2482","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Evaluation of Temporomandibular Joint in Patients with Parkinson\u2019s Disease: A Comparative Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Ayse Selenge","family":"Akbulut","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthodontics, Peri Sokak Dental Clinic, 42010 Konya, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aysun Hatice","family":"Akca Karpuzoglu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, Medova Hospital, 42070 Konya, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"114","DOI":"10.1179\/crn.2007.018","article-title":"Examination of a large patient population for the presence of symptoms and signs of temporomandibular disorders","volume":"25","author":"Cooper","year":"2007","journal-title":"Cranio"},{"key":"ref_2","first-page":"378","article-title":"Diagnosis and treatment of temporomandibular disorders","volume":"91","author":"Gauer","year":"2015","journal-title":"Am.
