ABSTRACT
Due to its complexity, there is currently an incomplete understanding of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) function, especially in relation to the morphological interplay of the condyle and the disc as well as the disc, the Os temporale and the lateral pterygoid muscle. This also holds true for synovial flow and synovial pumps, the existence of which we postulate and for which we present a theory of their mechanism. In view of the complexity of mandibular movements and the morphology and function of the TMJ, we need to know how precisely a reconstruction of the TMJ, if necessary, must be adapted to nature. An analysis of the morphology of the functional states of the mandible, as well as the synovial pump system, should at least provide a basis for moulding reconstructions.
