Abstract

It differs from other joints of body because it shows the properties of both hinge and sliding joint so it also called as ginglymo-arthrodial joint. Temporomandibular joint abnormalities affect 5-12% of the population. The correct diagnosis of early abnormalities of this joint is of paramount importance because they can result in temporomandibular joint disorders. In the present article, a short insight is presented on Temporomandibular joint with emphasis on its anatomy, physiology & applied aspect.
