The articulating surfaces of bones which ossify in mesenchyme, like the mandible, are covered by a layer of dense, fibrous tissue. The purpose of the present study was to examine the structure of the mandibular condyle in the monkey. Young Rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) were perfused with glutarald

## Abstract Four patients suffered from trauma of the temporomandibular (TM) joints. They were examined by routine xβray procedures. The xβray films failed to demonstrate a chip fracture of the head of the mandibular condyle. A coronal computed tomographic (CT) view established the fracture shortly
The Megaladapidae have a posterior expansion of the articular surface of the mandibular condyle. Several other strepsirhine species exhibit a similar condylar surface. In this study, I propose two behavioral scenarios in which the posterior articular expansion might function: 1) contact with the pos
The relationships between the size of the articular surface of the mandibular condyle and masticatory muscle size, tooth size, diet, and biomechanical variables associated with mastication were studied by taking 12 measurements on skulls of 253 adult female anthropoid primates, including three to te
