The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is an even joint in the human head that allows for a movable connection between the skull and the mandible and performs complex movements. According to statistical data, it is estimated that disorders within the masticatory apparatus affect 60 to 80% of the population. The need for evaluation of the temporomandibular joints, whether resulting from functional disorders or conditions after surgical procedures, and proper diagnosis is crucial in many areas of science. Therefore, it was decided that a systematic review was necessary. The aim was to search for functional assessment methods of the TMJ using standard techniques and innovative technological solutions. Detailed criteria for the inclusion of found articles for further analysis were defined. More than 18 000 articles were found throughout the search process on the topic presented; however, only 22 met the inclusion criteria and were included in further analysis.
