ABSTRACT
Abstract The Temporo-mandibular joint [TMJ] is the joint directly in front of the ear on either side of the head where the upper jaw [maxilla] and lower jaw [mandible] meet. This joint is a typical sliding "ball and socket" that has a disc sandwiched between it. The TMJ is used throughout the day to move the jaw, especially in biting and chewing, talking, and yawning. It is one of the most frequently used joints of the body [Beuscher J., 2007]
