Popis: The review of domestic and foreign literature devoted to the morphological features of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which has an important applied anatomical and clinical significance, is presented. A detailed study of the bone elements of the temporomandibular joint, their location, individual variability, as well as their relationship with other anatomical formations is of fundamental theoretical and clinical importance for dentistry, and in particular: orthopedic dentistry, orthodontics, gnatology. On the basis of a theoretical review and analysis of scientific sources of literature and publications, the issues of morphological features of the structure of the TMJ depending on gender, age, type of bite and type of face are considered. Anatomical knowledge of the temporomandibular joint is one of the foundations of clinical practice in dentistry, which allows you to understand pathological changes, conduct a diagnostic assessment and make the right choice of treatment method. The bone elements of the temporomandibular joint require careful study, since changes in these components lead to functional disorders in the human body as a whole.
