[ABSTRAKTesis ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan antara kebiasaan mengunyah dan asimetri vertikal kondilus pada pasien TMD. Dilakukan penelitian potong lintang di klinik Prostodonsia RSKGM FKG UI menggunakan data sekunder dari empat puluh rekam medik dan gambaran radiografik pasien TMD. Tracing gambaran radiografi panoramik dilakukan untuk menilai asimetri vertikal kondilus pada subjek menggunakan Indeks Asimetri Habets dan Simetri Indeks Kjellberg.Hasil penilaian asimetri vertikal kondilus kemudian dihubungkan dengan kebiasaan mengunyah, Indeks Helkimo, dan DC/TMD. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan tidak terdapat hubungan antara kebiasaan mengunyah dan asimetri vertikal kondilus pada pasien TMD.

ABSTRACTThis study was performed to analize the relationship betweenchewing preferences and condylar asymmetry in patients with TMD. A cross-sectional study at Prosthodontic Clinic, Faculty of Dentistry, University of Indonesia using secondary data obtain from forty TMD patients's medical record and panoramic radiograph was conducted. The panoramic radiograph were traced on tracing paper to evaluate condylar asymmetry using Asymmetry Index of Habets and Symmetry Index of Kjellberg. The evaluation of condylar asymetry were then related to chewing preference, Helkimo?s Index, and DC/TMD.There was no relationship found between chewing preference and condylar asymmetry in patients with TMD. , This study was performed to analize the relationship betweenchewing preferences and condylar asymmetry in patients with TMD.
