Differs: You have 2 friends. One is 5 feet tall, the other is 6 feet 6 inches. Would you expect them to have any bones that were exactly the same size? TMJ articular eminence smaller and more gently sloped in women than in men, which may be one reason why more women have joint dysfunction than men.

Individual: Some are flat, some have steep inclines. Anatomy must be in harmony with tooth anatomy and position and function. More important is the health and integrity of the structures themselves.
