5 TMJ Flashcards
arcs of opening
1st arc: rotation
2nd arc: translation
ginglymoid and arthodial joint
ginglymoid = rotation/hinging arthodial = translation, gliding
mandibular condyle dimensions
greater mediolateral dimension than anteroposterior
mandibular condyle poles
medial pole is More prominent
lateral pole is Less prominent
intersect at anterior portion of f. magnum
extend medially and posteriorly
mandibular condyle articular surface
posterior surface has larger articular surface
articular (glenoid) fossa and eminence
of zygomatic arch of temporal bone
eminence = functioning
fossa = nonfunctioning, ant. to dividing petrytympanic fissure
mandibular fossa = large depression behind articular fossa
innervation
trigeminal CN V mandibular branch (III)
masseteric, Auriculotemporal, deep temporal
irrigation of TMJ
superficial temporal a.
internal maxillary a.
middle meningeal a.
colateral/discal ligament attachments
two short ligaments: medial/distal pole –> disc
colateral/discal ligament functions
maintain disc and mandibular condyle
prevent excessive rotation
capsular ligament/fibrous capsule attachments
superiorly to temporal bone around border of articular surfaces of mandibular fossa and articular eminence –> inferiorly to neck on condyle
capsular ligament/fibrous capsule functions
surrounds TMJ
keeps articular surfaces in contact
temporal and mandibular fossa remain in contact
produce synovial fluid
lateral ligament OOP attachments
outer oblique portion
lateral surfaces of zygomatic arch and articular eminence –> posterior surface of condyle neck
lateral ligament OOP functions
prevents excessive rotation in 1st arc of opening
lateral ligament IHP attachments
inner horizontal portion
outer surface of zygomatic arch and articular eminence –> lateral surface of disc or lateral pole
lateral ligament IHP functions
prevents posterior movement (of condyle into mandibular fossa)
assists/prevents straining of lateral pterygoid m.
sphenomandibular ligament attachments
sphenoidal/angular spine (sphenoid) –> lingula
sphenomandibular ligament functions
prevents excessive opening (a little)
stylomandibular ligament attachments
styloid process (temporal) –> posterior border of mandible
