	~~The~~ TMJ is a synovial joint between the glenoid fossa of the temporal bone and the mandibular condyle. The central anatomical structure of the TMJ is the articular disc or meniscus. The disc is an oval-shaped fibrocartilaginous structure composed of anterior and posterior articular bands and a thinner center, called the intermediate zone. The intermediate zone gives the disc a biconcave appearance in the sagittal view. The posterior band is generally thicker than the anterior band and both bands are wider in the transverse dimension than in the anteroposterior dimension. The retrodisc tissue or bilaminar zone is rich neurovascular tissue that serves as the posterior attachment of the disc, fusing the disc with the joint capsule and temporal bone.
