Critical alpha was set at 0.05/5 = 0.01. Significant results are shown in bold (and unless otherwise specified are one-tailed P-values).

*

Difference is in opposite direction than predicted; P-values shown are for two-tailed test.

**

Comparisons may be marginally significant due to reduced sample sizes (n< 3 for at least one group).

AE, articular eminence; IS, insufficient samples of this variable for analysis; TMJ, temporomandibular joint.
