The adult mandibular condyle is roughly elliptical in shape with the largest diameter being mediolateral (Figure 2.8). There is considerable individual variation in both condylar size and angulation to the various planes, and there are often differences between the right and left sides in an individual. The mediolateral dimension varies between 13 and 25 mm and the anteroposterior dimension varies between 6 and 16 mm. The mediolateral angulation to the transverse plane is between 15° and 33° and from 0° to 48° in the horizontal plane. These dimensions vary not only between individuals but between the right and left sides in an individual.
