  • Title: [The morphologic relation between the temporomandibular joint and other components of the masticatory apparatus in catarrhine simians and humans].
    Author: Dubreuil D, Buyle-Bodin Y.
    Journal: J Biol Buccale; 1977 Dec; 5(4):291-310. PubMed ID: 122699.
    Abstract:
    The articular temporo-mandibular structures and their osseous and dental environment were studied in some catarhinians Simians (Cynomorphs and Anthropomorphs) and some representatives of the human lineage. The study of measurable and descriptive characters showed a relative stability of the temporo-mandibular joint compared to the dynamism of the other components of the masticatory system. The functional specificity of the actual human temporo-mandibular joint seemed to be tightly associated to the main processes leading toward human evolution (facial regression, increase of the cranial capacity). On the other hand, this study casts some doubts regarding the utilization of Primates for experiments in this field.
