mandibular joint
The mandibular joint, also known as the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), is the joint that connects the lower jaw (mandible) to the skull (temporal bone) in front of the ear. It enables movements necessary for speaking, eating, and facial expressions. This complex joint consists of muscles, ligaments, and the articular disc which allows it to perform both rotational and translational movements.
