Features of dysfunctional states of the temporomandibular joint in patients with different types of facial skeletal growth (literature review)

Abstract

From previous research, diseases of the temporomandibular joint are a functional pathology and take a special place among diseases that affect both the joint and the structures surrounding it [1]. Disorders of the anatomical relationship between the components of the joint are the most common reason of temporomandibular joint dysfunction [2]. Patients with this disease need a thorough clinical and functional analysis, in order to identify the relationship between pathology and structural features of the facial skeleton.
