2-Neuromuscular determinants Flashcards
TMJ type of joint
Ginglymoarthrodial
joint
2 types of TM joint movements
i) ROTATE (hinging movement lower compartment)
ii) TRANSLATE (gliding movement upper compartment)
NORMAL DISC POSITION -rest (o’clock)
12 o`clock
Opening
20-25 mm (limited mouth opening)
Rotation only:
so, ANTERIOR DISC DISPLACEMENT
WITHOUT REDUCTION
Opening
>40 mm (full mouth opening)
TRANSLATION
Type of cartilage on Synovial joint articular surfaces of TMJ (i.e Temporal bone articulating surface)
Hyaline cartilage
Type of cartilage on condyle of TMJ (i.e TMJ articular surfaces)
Fibrocartilage tissue
Function of Hyaline cartilage in TMJ
Absorbs shock and reduces friction
during movement.
Function of TMJ articular surfaces: Fibrocartilage in TMJ
Fibrous cartilage can withstand force of movements
** _____ TMJ cartilage has limited capacity to heal and repair
Hyaline cartilage (Synovial joint articular surfaces)
** _____ TMJ cartilage has greater capacity to heal and repair;
It is less susceptible to the effects of aging, less
likely to breakdown overtime
Fibrocartilage tissue (TMJ articular surfaces)
_______ prevents direct articulation of the condyle and temporal bone
Articular disc
Shape of articular disc
Biconcave (fibrocartilaginous structure)
Posterior attachment of the disc is called _______
retrodiscal tissue
Articular disc is innervated. T/F?
F.
Articular disc is “Non-innervated”
Retrodiscal tissue is Innervated. T/F?
T. Retrodiscal tissue is Innervated
When the jaws is closed, the anterior prominance of the condyle is at the _______ part of the disc.
central thin part of the disc
Disc follows the condyle during opening.T/F
T
Synovial membrane provides ____ and ____ lubrication.
- Boundary lubrication
* Weeping Lubrication
Capsular ligament: Superior attachment
Superior: Attach temporal bone along the border of glenoid fossa and articular eminence
Capsular ligament: Inferior attachment
Condyle
Capsular ligament: Posterior attachment
Posteriorly: Postglenoid process
Capsular ligament: Function
- Retain synovial fluid inside
* Resist any medial, lateral or inferior forces that tends to dislocate the articular surfaces
**TMJ lateral pole palpation: Painful
Which ligament is inflamed?
Capsular ligament
