Q

Skeletal Terminoloy

A

Articulation - is an area of the skeleton where the bones are joined to eachother. They can be either movable or immovable (joined together)

Sutures - appear on the skulls as “cracks”. Firm joining of two or more bones (where two bones are coming together - wiggly look)

Joint - is the moveable junction of two or more bones (TMJ is an example, knee, elbow)

Process - is an extension of a bone

Fossa - is a depression in a bony surface, a place for a joint or muscle attachment to be located

25
Mandible
-Single bone -Forms the lower jaw -is the movable bone of the skull -The alveolar process of the mandible supports the teeth in the mandiblar arch - it is composed of three parts: 1. Body 2. Alveolar Process 3. Ramus
26
Parasnasal Sinuses
- The maxillary sinuses are the largest of the paranasal sinuses -The frontal sinuses are located within the forehead, just above both eyes -the ethmoid sinuses are irregulary shaped air cells seprated from the orbital cavity by a very thin layer of bone -the sphenoid sinuses are located close to the optic nerves, where an infection may damage vision
27
Functions of th sinuses
1. Lighten the skull bones 2. Act as sound resonators 3. Provide mucus for the nasal cavity
28
Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ)
- Is a joint on each side of the head that allows for movement of the mandible for speech and mastication 3 bony parts -Glenoid fossa of the temporal bone -Articular eminence of the temporal bone -Condyloid process of the mandible
29
Capsular Ligament
-a fibrous joint capsule completely encloses the TJ -The capsule wraps around the margin of the temporal bone's articular eminence and articular fossa superiorly -Inferiorly, the capsule wraps around the circumference of the mandibular clondyle's neck
30
Articular Space
-The area between the capsular ligament and the surfaces of the glenoid fossa and condyle -Articular disc (meniscus) is a cushion of dense, specialized connective tissue that divies the articular spce into upper and lower compartments -These compartments are filled with synovial fluid, which helps lubricate the joint and fills the synovial cavities
31
Jaw Movement of the TMJ
-Hing Action *The first phase of the mouth opening *Only the lower comartment of the joint is used -Gliding movement *Allows the lower jaw to move forward or backward *it involves both the lower and upper compartments of the joint *The condyle articular disc "glide" forwrad and downward along the articular eminence
32
Gliding Movement
Protrusion is the forward movement of the mandible * The reversal of this movement is the backward movement of the mandible, called retrusion * Lateral movement of the mandible occurs when the internal and external pterygoid muscles on the same side of the face contract together
33
Rest Position of the TMJ
* Elimination of muscle tension and rest of the TMJ is essential throughout the day * Clenching and grinding [bruxism] contribute to the tension and eventually lead to TMJ and muscle discomfort * The ‘rest’ position of the TMJ is achieved with lips together, but teeth slightly apart – carrying the TMJ like this whenever possible will reduce tension and discomfort
34
Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD)
Etiology *Trauma *Genetic Factors *Developmental Disorders *Behavioural Stresses *Para-Functional habits *Malocclusion *Arthritis
35
Signs and Symptoms of TMD
-Pain -Stiffness -TMJ sounds (clicking/popping) -Internal Disc derangment -Subluxation (locking open) -Limitation of movement (trismus) Malocclusion (Shift in the way the teeth align) *No solution to TMJ disorders - but can provide "help" -Patient education -CBT -Physical therapy -Medication - antidepressant, muscle relaxants -Muscular Therapy
36
Muscles of the Head And Neck - why is it imortant to know?
* To perform a thorough patient examination, it is necessary to know the location and action of many muscles of the head and neck * Malfunctions of muscles may be involved in malocclusions (improper bite), TMJ disorder, and even the spread of dental infections
