Sažetak
A large number of the research carried out on the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) has been related to the interrelation between the articular surfaces within the joint. Research was done on conserved skulls. The results obtained show that the articular surface of the condyle, in the position of the centric relation, regarding the upper surface, has a retruded position. The results of current research differ. The aim of the research was to perform accurate osteometry of the joint bone structure, tranfer the obtained data into the computer and with the aid of compute aided three dimensional analyses, to arrive at certain conclusions. The basic line of the TMJ was used as a reference point. The main task of the research was to discover another possible reference line, connecting the midpoints
of the front and the back edge of the temporal bone articular surface. The basic line of the TMJ was found as a new reference line. The research results of the interrelation of the TMJ surfaces are represented by the computer aided graphic model. Two software application packages, AutoCAD and Euclid were used for the graphic
analysis. Based on the obtained results, the computer algorithm was needed to enable connection of the reference points in space using mathematical laws. The retroposition of the top of condyle could not be seen.
