During the course of evolution, the mammalian cranio-mandibular secondary joint—formed by the dentary condyle and the squamosal glenoid fossa, which replaced the reptilian articular–quadrate ...

During the last 2 decades, many studies on the treatment of mandibular condyle fracture have been published. However, the timing and methodology of treatment are still widely debated, despite the ...

Researchers report that the jaw joint bone, the center around which chewing activity revolves (literally), appears to have evolved based more on an animal's size than what it eats. Chewing: We don't ...
