Computational synovial dynamics of a normal temporomandibular joint during jaw opening
Synovial fluid in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) acts as a lubricant and shock absorber, facilitating smooth jaw movements by reducing friction and cushioning the articular cartilage and other tissues in the TMJ. This study investigated the flow pattern of synovial fluid in the articular cavity d...
