Abstract
Temporomandibular joint is a secondary joint that connects mandible to temporal bone. Conventional radiographic imaging such as panoramic or transcranial radiographs, conventional tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasonography, artrography or cone beam computed tomography can be used for the evaluation of the temporomandibular joint. Although several studies have been done, relationship between the temporomandibular joint shape and position and occlusion could not be defined clearly, and the effect of occlusion to the morphology and position of the temporomandibular joint has not been fully understood. The aim of this review was to discuss the studies that have examined the temporomandibular joint position and shape in different malocclusions.
