With the increased interest in clinical significance of condyle fossa relationship of TMJ, the relationship between condylar ,morphology and various malocclusions has been examined. Previous investigations of condylar shape have demonstrated correlations between osseous changes and Angle Class of Malocclusions and facial morphology. class II malocclusion being major load of orthodontic practice has been chosen as study group. This study showed that superior joint space is the most significantly correlated condylar characteristics to facial morphology.
