| Summary: | The review of domestic and foreign literature devoted to the morphological features
of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which has an important applied anatomical
and clinical significance, is presented. A detailed study of the bone elements of the temporomandibular
joint, their location, individual variability, as well as their relationship with
other anatomical formations is of fundamental theoretical and clinical importance for dentistry,
and in particular: orthopedic dentistry, orthodontics, gnatology. On the basis of a theoretical
review and analysis of scientific sources of literature and publications, the issues of
morphological features of the structure of the TMJ depending on gender, age, type of bite
and type of face are considered. Anatomical knowledge of the temporomandibular joint is
one of the foundations of clinical practice in dentistry, which allows you to understand
pathological changes, conduct a diagnostic assessment and make the right choice of treatment
method. The bone elements of the temporomandibular joint require careful study,
since changes in these components lead to functional disorders in the human body as a
whole.
