Out of 115 right temporomandibular joints from Swedish subjects aged 1 day to 93 years, 48 joints without any gross sign of arthrosis or deviation in form were examined histologically. The joint components were cut sagittaly, each into four parts. Histological sections were made of the condyle, the temporal component and of the articular disk. The total thickness of the soft tissue layers was measured in decalcified sections, cut from the medio-central and lateral parts of the condyle and the temporal component and from the medial, medio-central, latero-central and lateral regions of the disk. In the medio-central sections from the condyle and temporal component the thickness of the fibrous connective tissue layer i.e. the surface layer was also registered. The soft tissue layers were thickest in the condyle superiorly, about 0.4-0.5 mm, in the temporal component on the postero-inferior slope of the articular tubercle, about 0.5 mm, and in the disk posteriorly about 2.9 mm. In the roof of the fossa it was only 0.1 mm. The soft tissue layers on the condyle as well as the disk were thinner laterally while the corresponding tissue in the temporal component was thicker laterally. The thickness of the soft tissue layers seem to reflect the growth and functional load to which the joint is exposed.
