Effects of Occlusal Splints and Occlusal Equilibration on Skeletal Muscles in TMJ Patients
Increased interest in "sports dentistry" has led investigators to adopt divergent views. Some believe that the position of the mandible in relation to the cranium may be critical to peak athletic performance. Others believe that mandibular position does not affect the performance of skeletal …

Characterization and tissue engineering of the temporomandibular joint disc
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ), commonly known as the jaw joint, can cause a great deal of suffering for those afflicted with TMJ disorders. Everyday activities like chewing, yawning, and sometimes even talking and laughing, can be agonizing, and personal life and work life often suffer. …

Multimedia Educational Resource of the Temporomandibular Joint for Dental Students
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is unique joint formed by the squamous portion of the temporal bone and the condyle of the mandible. The TMJ forms two synovial joints which are structurally supported by the mandibular condyle, joint capsule, an articular disc and supporting ligaments. The main …

Interspecies characterization and tissue engineering of the temporomandibular joint disc
Disorders of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) are widespread, afflicting millions of people. The majority of these cases involve displacement or injury to the TMJ disc. Current treatments do not fully address severe cases of TMJ dysfunction; therefore, efforts to engineer functional tissues for …

Ontogeny of the temporomandibular joint and middle ear of the Virginia opossum (Didelphis virginiana) and their implications for mammalian cranial evolution
… of soft tissues of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), such as the pterygoideus muscle, articular disc, and discomalleolar ligament (DML), is limited. Previous hypotheses have suggested that the disc and DML are vestiges of the lateral pterygoideus muscle becuase the malleus is its primitive …

Diagnostic imaging of the tympanic bulla and temporomandibular joint in the dog, cat and rabbit.
… tympanic bulla (TB) and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is significant clinically in the dog, cat, and more recently the rabbit. Diagnostic imaging is important in the assessment of disease of these structures but there is a relative lack of comparative anatomical information relating to the normal …
