This article focuses on the embryologic development and growth of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and touches on the development and growth of surrounding structures. Aberrations in structures surrounding the TMJ can affect its development as well. The normal adult anatomy of the TMJ is described as well as common malformations. The clinical ramifications of a malformed TMJ are also discussed in order to understand future necessary consultants involved in the care of these patients.
本文重点关注颞下颌关节(TMJ)的胚胎发育和生长,并涉及周围结构的发育和生长。颞下颌关节周围结构的异常也会影响其发育。文中描述了颞下颌关节正常的成人解剖结构以及常见的畸形情况。还讨论了畸形颞下颌关节的临床后果,以便了解未来对这些患者进行护理时所需的相关会诊情况。
