The jaw and skull are joined at the temporal mandibular joint (TMJ), a synovial joint. You can find these two joints directly in front of your ears. Each joint comprises the mandible’s condyle, the temporal bone’s articular tubercle, and an articulating disk. Allowed motions include lateral, vertical, and horizontal movement, protrusion, and retrusion. The complex motions of chewing, speaking, and forming facial emotions are made possible by this joint and the muscles that link to it. The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects the mandibular condyle to the temporal bone’s glenoid fossa as a hinged joint. The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is characterized by fibrocartilaginous nature, articular disc, capsule, and synovial membranes.
