Anatomical Relations

The inferior retrodiscal lamina attaches to the posteroinferior part of the articular disc. It extends to the posterior aspect of the mandibular condyle (Miloro & Peterson, 2012).

Function

The inferior retrodiscal lamina is not elastic like the superior lamina, therefore, acts to maintain a strong relationship to the mandibular condyle.
