Temporomandibular Joint

  • Chapter
MRI of the Head and Neck

Abstract

A dense fibrocartilaginous structure, the articular disk, separates the mandibular condyle from the mandibular fossa of the temporal bone. The disk is fixed to the medial and lateral aspect of the mandibular condyle. Because some fibers of the lateral pterygoid muscle insert into the anterior margin of the disk, it moves anteriorly during opening of the mouth. Several stabilizing structures exist, such as the lateral temporomandibular ligament, which prevents subluxation of the joint during extreme opening.
