The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1971Abstract Significance is attached to the skeletal-dental aberrations which diminish the fulcral capacity of the temporomandibular joints and which place unnatural demands on the neuromusculature and the periodontium. Questions are raised regarding the validity of past experiments with animals relating function and trauma.

Subluxation of the temporomandibular joint
Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, 1977The temporomandibular joint in actual function does not resemble other joints in the body in that the condyles leave their fossae with maximal opening and in some subjects with only a 35 mm. opening. The term subluxation, with its implication of abnormality, does not seem applicable to a normal movement. While significant problems, such as dislocation,
