Abstract

In literature, there is no unanimous agreement about the anatomical and functional characteristics of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and its components. The aim of this work is to increase the knowledge about components of the temporomandibular joint, starting from the revision of classical anatomy, through macroscopic and microscopic study, 20 samples of human dissected temporomandibular joints.
