Normal morphology of the temporomandibular joint soft-tissue (literature review)
The aim of this review is to examine current concepts regarding the morphological characteristics of the soft tissue components of the adult human temporomandibular joint (TMJ) under normal conditions. A literature search was conducted in the scientific electronic library eLibrary and the international electronic databases PubMed, MEDLINE, Google Scholar, and ResearchGate. Forty-four scientific publications with a publication date not exceeding 15 years were selected for detailed analysis. The article provides a description of the anatomy, histological structure and biochemical composition of the soft tissue elements of the temporomandibular joint: the articular capsule, articular disc, synovial fluid, capsular ligaments and retrodiscal tissues.
