Abstract
The temporomandibular joint is paired, a complex formation of an ellipsoid shape, which is formed by the articular head of the lower jaw, the mandibular fossa and the articular tubercle of the temporal bone, covered with fibrous cartilage. There are two types of movements in the temporomandibular joint: translation and rotation, which implement protrusion-retrusion, right and left mediotrusion, and opening-closing. Computerized axiography is used for assessment of the mandibular movements and the patient’s skeletal parameters. This type of examination allows you to adjust the articulator for an individual function and to study the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the temporomandibular joint.
