AB  - The  temporomandibular  (TM)  joint  is  unique  in  both  structure  and  function.  Structurally,  the  mandible  is  a  horseshoe-shaped  bone  (Fig.  6–1)  that  articulates  with  the  temporal  bone  at  each  posterior  superior  end  and  produces  two  distinct  but  highly  interdependent  articulations.  Each  TM  joint  contains  a  disc  that  separates  the  joint  into  upper  and  lower  articulations.  Functionally,  mandibular  movement  involves  concurrent  movement  in  the  four  distinct  joints,  resulting  in  a  complex  structure  that  moves  in  all  planes  of  motion  to  achieve  normal  function.
