Within the limits of the present study, it is suggested that tilted head positions may affect the reproducibility of 3D condylar segmentation, thereby influencing outcome in repeated CBCT scanning. Nevertheless, observed differences are unlikely to have a meaningful impact on clinical patient diagnosis and management.
