Abstract

The knowledge on embryology and anatomy of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is vital as it guides to understand various developmental disorders involving the TMJ during the pre-natal and post-natal growth of a patient. It is essential for the operating surgeon to have a thorough and precise anatomical knowledge to carry out the surgical procedures and avoid any iatrogenic injuries. This chapter highlights the importance of embryology and anatomy in relevance to the TMJ.
