SUMMARY: Introduction: Being the only muscle directly related to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), the lateral pterygoid muscle (LPM) has been the subject of many studies seeking to understand the problems associated with this joint. Many anatomical studies have been carried out on cadavers in order to specifically examine the attachment of the LPM to the TMJ. These studies have led to different results and conclusions. Aim: The present study aims to provide a review of the recent literature and draw conclusions on the impact that the anatomical position of the LPM attachment can have on TMJ dysfunction.
KEY WORDS: Lateral pterygoid muscle, TMJ dysfunction, temporomandibular joint, articular disc
