Exam 2: TMJ Flashcards
what is the function of the lateral temporal mandibular ligament
prevent excessive A and P, and lateral movement of the jaw
what is the supsension quality of the lateral mandibular ligament
this is the main supension ligament during opening of the jaw
what kind of joint is the jaw
hinge joint
what are the medial ligaments
sphenomandibular ligament and stylomandibular ligament
function of the sphenomandibular ligament
suspends the mouth during wide opening
function of the stylomandibular
acts a stop to extreme opening
what is the mouth disc made out of
fibrocartilage
Does the disc have nerve or art
no it is avascular and aneural
what is the retrodiscal tissue attached ant and post
the post capsule and the ant tympatic plate
- this prevents the disc from going to far anterior
what is the disc attached to medially and laterally
the condyle view the medial and lateral ligament
what are disc issue normally due to
stretching of retrodiscal tissue
what happens when we open the mouth
the disc moves forward with the condyle and creates stress on the retrodiscal tissue
what happens when we close the mouth
the retrodiscal tissue pulls the disc back to move with the condyle
where is the upper compartment
disk and mandibualr fossa
where is the lower compartment
disc and the condyle of the mandicular bone
what plane does the mouth move in for opening and closing
cornal
- plane passes through the condyles
phase 1 of opening
rot of the condyle in the lower compartment
pahse 2 of opening
translation of the disc and the condyle together in the upper compartment
closing and opening phases
close is the same as opening but opp
who much movement do we see with opening
40-50 mm
what kind of movement are mandibular protrusion and retrusion
translation movement
what comp does protrusion and retrusion occur in
upper comp
how much movement do we see with protrusion
6-9 mm
