Developmental anatomy of the temporomandibular joint for the pedodontist
7th Global Dentists and Pediatric Dentistry Annual Meeting
March 31- April 01, 2016 Valencia, Spain
Huseyin Avni Balcioglu
Istanbul University, Turkey
Scientific Tracks Abstracts: Oral Health Dent Manag
Abstract:
Even though temporomandibular joint and its anatomical relations seem to be of little significance in the view of most pedodontic practitioners, the collection of data needed to establish the proper diagnosis in the field of pediatric dentistry should surely involve the basic knowledge of developmental anatomy of the temporomandibular joint. From the articular fossa, the first anatomical structure to become recognizable during the development process, to the degenerated intra-articular disc which appeared as a result of para-functional habits of an 18- year-old, the unique morphological features of this unique joint, from the standpoint of anatomical sciences, will be briefly presented with a developmental perspective in this speech. The audience will be provided with some important clinical implications to consider during performing pedodontics and translational research as well.
