title: [The temporomandibular joint--structure and function during the course of development].
abstract: The temporomandibular joint is one of the most complicated articulations of our body. Its relative stability of function is in contrast to the apparent instability of some structures enclosed. The paper summarizes some thoughts about this joint and it should be stressed the especial difficulty in teaching the joint in the stomatological anatomy.
