Abstract
A joint is a site or junction between two bones with the function of providing movement or flexibility to the structures of the body. The joint which receives the greatest attention within the field of dentistry is the temporomandibular joint. It represents the union between the maxilla and mandible which house the dentition. Its function may be impacted by restorative, reconstructive, and orthodontic procedures. Understanding the anatomy, histology, and physiology of this joint in health and disease is important so treatments that target joint pain and function can have the greatest degree of success.
