The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is located just in front of the ear. This joint is made up of the lower jawbone (mandible) and the temporal bone of the skull. The condyle of the mandible is that portion which fits into the joint space. This condyle has a disc composed of cartilage that sits on top of the condyle. The disc prevents damaging bone-to-bone contact during normal functioning of the TMJ.
