Exam 3 Flashcards
Parafunctional is affected by:
Size and shape and number of roots Quantity and quality of the bone Presence of microbial biofilm Oral habits Missing and shifting teeth
Allows some trauma without damage
Occurs when the condyles of the TMJ rest in the normal closed superoanterior position and the mandible is even contact
AKA Occlusion or Centric Occlusion or Maximum Intercupation or Vertical Dimension of Occlusion
Hyperfunction
Heavy occlusal forces exceed adaptive range causing injury in an otherwise healthy periodontium
Primary Traumatic Occlusion
Heavy occlusal forces exceeding the adaptive range causing injury EXCEPT the periodontium is already periodontally involved
Secondary Traumatic Occlusion
Traumatic occlusion DOES NOT mean the same
This occlusion sometimes function perfectly well
Malocclusion
Produces pain or dysfunction in the masticatory system
TMD- Temporomandibular Disorder
Disorder involves muscles not the joint
Extracapsular
Involves the joint itself 5-7% of the population would benefit from TMD therapy
Intracapsular
Single event injury (ex: car wreck)
Macrotrauma
Event over time that causes damage such as bruxism
Microtrauma
Oral habits are repetitive masticatory activities outside the normal range of function
TRUE
Muscle and facial disorders of the masticatory system:
Myalgia, trismus, spasm, dyskinesia, and bruxism
TMJ Disorders
Arthritis, etc
Mandibular Mobility Disorders:
Ankylosis, muscular fibrosis, and adhesions
Maxillomandibular Growth Disorders:
Neoplastic and Non-neoplastic disorders
Clenching/grinding
Nocturnal- night time
Diurnal- day time
Bruxism
Bruxism causes what to happen?
Toothwear Myalia Tooth fractures Headaches Restorative nightmare Hypertrophy- extraction nightmare
Bruxism may cause
Widened PDL, bone loss, and mobility in some people and in others cause hypercememtosis and tooth fractures in others but in both cause the patient pain and eventual tooth loss
TMD Symptoms:
Pain Tenderness in muslces & TMJ Clicking- dyskinesia Limited motion Swelling Ears ringing - tinnitus
Maximum Intercuspation
Centric occlusion
Vertical dimension of occlusion
Occlusion
Tooth or area that “hits first” preventing even, well distributed contact
Supracontact
Criteria for TMD treatment
- Determine the correct differential diagnosis
- Selected with reason and purpose
- Directed towards the symptom relief
Clark’s Guideline
TMD Treatment: Home Therapy
Soft diet
Heat and cold packs applied
Exercises
TMD Treatment: Physical Therapy
Ultrasound
ELectrical Stimulation
Manipulations
More highly defined exercises
TMD Treatment: Occlusal Appliances
Splints
Biteguards
Nightguards
Sleep Apnea Devices
TMD Treatment: Behavioral Therapy
Counseling for:
Stress
Anxiety
Depression
TMD Treatment: Pharmacologic Therapy
Anti-inflammatories
Analgesics
Muscle Relaxants
Anesthesia
TMD Treatment: Surgical Procedures
Arthroscopic Arthrocentesis Condylotomy Condylectomy Nerve Section
Considerations for Treating Patients with Temporomandibular Disorders:
Appointment duration as brief as possible Aids during treatment (biteblock) Home care suggestions Postoperative care (soft diet, etc( Short and frequent recall appointments
State of morphofunctional harmony in which occlusal forces developed during function are WITHIN AN ADAPTIVE physiologic range
There are no pathologic changes
Orthofunction
State of morphofunctional disharmony in which the forces developed during function cause pathologic changes resulting in pain or abnormal function
Dependent upon the adaptive capabilities
Dysfunction
Activity such as grinding, clenching, etc which causes stress leading to resorption of either tooth or bone
Or hypertrophic changes such as hypercementosis
Or tooth fractures leading to pain
Or tooth mobility
Parafunctional
Pain in a joint structure
Arthralgia
Puncture of a joint space with a needle and removal of fluid
Arthrocentesis
Grinding or gnashing of the teeth
Bruxism
Clamping and forcing the teeth together without grinding
Clenching
Cracking or snapping noise in the TMJ because of disk and condyle incoordination; can occur in one or both joints
Clicking
