## Abstract Evidence from experimental and finite element studies have shown that the temporomandibular joint disc is heavily loaded during normal physiological function. Several studies have been carried out to investigate the response of the disc to tensile and static compressive forces. However,
## Abstract The collagen fibers and proteoglycans in the disc of temporomandibular joint provide resistance to various loadings. Thus far, however, the role of the proteoglycans in determining the viscoelastic properties of the disc has not been investigated. In the present study the hypothesis was
