Abstract
Conclusions about the anatomy and physiology of the temporomandibular joint have too often been based on sagittal representations. The aim of the article is to describe frontal serial cuts of an acrylic embedded articulation of a subject with teeth in intercuspal position. The frontal plane is best to visualise the difference between lateral and medial aspects of structures such as the disk-condyle-complex, the articular capsule, and related muscles.
