chapter 5 tempromandibular joint Flashcards
tmj is classified as a
ginglymoarthrodial joint
a joint having the form of both ginglymus and athrodia joints, or hinge and sliding joints
ginglymoarthrodial joint
tmj is innervated by the
auriculotemporal and masseteric branches of mandibular nerve(or third division) of 5th cranial nerve or trigeminal nerve
tmj motor function by
muscles of mastication
area where the bones are joined to each other
articulation
lower of lower jaw
depression of mandible
raising of lower jaw
elevation of mandible
site of a junction of union between two or more bones
joint
shifting of the lower jaw to one side
lateral deviation of mandible
band of fibrous tissue connecting bones
ligament
type of body tissue that shortens under nerual control, causing soft tissue and bony structures to move
muscle
bringing forward of the lower jaw
protrusion of mandible
bringing backward of lower jaw
retraction or retrusion of mandible
acute episode in which both joints become dislocated, often due to excessive mandibular protrusion and depression
sublaxation
disorder involving one or both temporomandibular joiints
TMD
inability to normally open the mouth
trismus
forms upper and lower joint space or synovial cavities, avascular except posterior portion, poor healing, superior head of lateral pterygoid attaches to it medially
disc(meniscus) biconcave cartilage
enclosed the joint and spaces
joint capsule
3 ligaments of the joint
temporomandibular, stylomandibular, sphenomandibular
major support ligament, joint capsule blends with ligament on anterior lateral surface
temporomandibular ligament
attachments of temporomandibular ligament
zygomatic process of temporal bone, lateral surface of condylar neck
attachments for stylomandibular ligament
styloid process, medial angle of mandible
sphenomandibular ligament attachments
sphenoid bone and lingula; inferior alveolar nerve passes between ligament and mandible
the only gliding and rotating joint in the body
tmj
opening of tmj in multiple planes
opening and closing, protrusion and retrusion, lateral excursion/deviation
this movement occurs 1st, mandible rotates against disc, first 20 mm of mandibular opening
rotational movement
this movement occurs 2nd
gliding movement
mandible and disc glide down articular eminence, allows for remaining open
gliding movement
maximum opening
50-60mm
