Additionally, it is critical to determine the criteria for choosing the ROI and the course of obtaining two-dimensional images (11,25,31) In our study, CBCT images were obtained with fixed exposure parameters by selecting standardized ROIs within the cortical borders of both mandibular condyles.

The mandibular process of the quadrate presents four distinct condyles: the medial condyle (Condylus medialis)--rounded in all the species analysed--the lateral condyle (Condylus lateralis)--long and stronger than the medial, articulating with the jugal bar laterally from a dorsal process--the caudal condyle (Condylus caudalis)--an extension of the lateral condyle, being fused--and the condyle pterygoideus --located medially, which articulates with the pterygoid by its quadratic articulated facet.
