Thin bony walls of the temporomandibular joint. Morphologic properties and tomographic reproduction.
The morphology of two thin bony walls in the medial third of the mandibular fossa is described on the basis of successive microtome sections of undecalcified temporomandibular joint specimens. The requirements for reproduction on thin bony walls at tomography with hypocycloidal movement are defined and discussed.
