The condylar process, also called the condyloid process, is the process on the mandible that articulates with the disk of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).
The mandibular condylar process consists of two portions:
-
condyle
presents an articular surface for articulation with the articular disk of the TMJ
convex posteriorly and from side to side
convexity extends further on the posterior than on the anterior surface
-
neck
