AbstractIntroduction: The term goniometry refers to the measurement of angles created at human joints, it may be used to determine both a particular joint position and total amount of motion available at a joint. Aim & Objectives: The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of age and gender on movements of temporomandibular joint in 100 normal subjects through the Universal Goniometer. Material & Methods: Study was carried out on 100 healthy subjects aged between 20-30 years. All the subjects having normal temporomandibular joint skeleton were chosen and those who were not having any history of joint surgery, trauma or any other type of abnormalities were included for determining the validity and reliability of the goniometric measurements. Results: Male subjects showed higher range of motion for depression of mandible, anterior protrusion and lateral deviation than females. Conclusion: ROM in all active temporomandibular joint motions except retrusion decreases with increasing age. The males also had a greater mean ROM in right lateral deviation, but the difference between genders was small.
