Zusammenfassung: | The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a ginglymus-arthrodial bilateral synovial joint, anatomically composed by the mandibular condyle, mandibular fossa and articular tubercle. It is necessary to have a perfect knowledge of the anatomy of the TMJ for a proper understanding of its function. The anatomical description of bony structures of the TMJ present in the scientific literature is not entirely accurate, with several differences on the delimitation of the mandibular condyle, the limits of the articular surfaces, the fissures present in the mandibular fossa. In addition, there is a wide variability of terms for each anatomical structure. A review of textbooks and scientific articles was performed, about the anatomical description of the bony components of the TMJ and terms to refer to them, compared with the terms established by the Anatomical Terminology. KEY WORDS: Temporomandibular joint; Mandibular condyle; Articular tubercle; Mandibular fossa; Anatomical Terminology. La articulacion temporomandibular (ATM) es una articulacion sinovial bilateral de tipo ginglimo-artroidal que anatomicamente esta conformada por el condilo mandibular, fosa mandibular y tuberculo articular. Es necesario tener un acabado conocimiento de la anatomia de la ATM para una correcta comprension de su funcionamiento. La descripcion anatomica de las estructuras oseas presente en la literatura cientifica, y que componen la ATM, no es del todo exacta, con diversas diferencias sobre la delimitacion del condilo mandibular, las fisuras presentes en la fosa mandibular y las superficies articulares de la fosa mandibular y tuberculo articular, asi como una amplia variabilidad de terminos para referirse a cada estructura anatomica. Se realizo una revision sistematica de textos y articulos cientificos sobre la descripcion anatomica de los componentes oseos de la ATM y los terminos para referirse a ellos, comparandolos con los terminos establecidos por la Terminologia Anatomica Internacional. PALABRAS CLAVE: Articulacion temporomandibular; Condilo mandibular; Tuberculo articular; Fosa mandibular; Terminologia Anatomica Internacional. |
