Temporomandibular joint?!


Question:

Temporomandibular joint?


Answers:

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the joint that connects the mandible (lower jaw) to the rest of the cranium. It is located in front of the ear, on each side, and allows a three dimensional movement of the mandible to be able to speak, eat, and yawn. http://www.studiodentaire.com/en/conditi...

Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD) occur when there are problems with the jaws or with the muscles that control chewing.
