Research Progress on Morphological Development of Temporomandibular Joint During Embryonic Stage
Temporomandibular joint(TMJ)is a synovial joint unique to mammals and its development process is significantly different from that of long bone joints.The study of embryonic development in TMJ has nearly one hundred years history.However,on the one hand,the continuity of human TMJ embryo development research is limited.The initiation of TMJ development and the condyle ossification and growth patterns have not yet been fully elucidated in human.On the other hand,there are some differences between rodents as model animals for TMJ development research and human.Seeking model animals similar to human to carry out TMJ embryo development research has never stopped.This article reviews the morphological development of embryonic TMJ including human and animal models.
