Embryogenesis of the human temporomandibular joint.

The structures of this articulation were found to originate from two different blastemata situated at some distance from each other and operating at different rates and opposing directions. A condylar blastema evolving dorsally contributes to the formation of the condylar cartilage, the disc, the aponeurosis of the external pterygoid muscle, and the capsular elements of the lower joint level, while a temporal blastema develops the articular structures of the upper level in a forward direction. At the end of the fourth fetal month all joint elements including a glenoid fossa and articular eminence are present in their primitive form.

Response of condylar growth cartilage to induced stresses.

The endochondral growth apparatus of the mandibular condyles, in contrast to epiphyseal plates of long bones, reacts positively to mechanical stimulation. Roentgenographic and histologic analyses of the joint structures of two experimental rhesus monkeys, when compared with untreated controls, showed obvious morphologic and structural transformations of the condylar heads as the result of the instituted treatment. Corollary differences were found in the ontogenetic and histogenetic pattern, as well as in the hormonal control, of these condylar growth centers.
