Q

Why is pterygoid process important

A

Of sphenoid bone

Important because it is the origin for 3 mastication muscles

16
Q

What moves with the head of the condyle

A

The articulate disc

17
Q

Functions of the articular disc of TMJ

A

Splits TMJ into functional compartments
Upper= translation
Lower= rotation

Stabilizes condyle, Helps lubricate TMJ

Absorbs shock

Reduces physical wear/strain

Regulates movement

18
Q

Functional compartments of TMJ

A

Upper= translation

Lower= rotation

Split by the articular disc

19
Q

TMJ fibrous capsule

A

Tube of tissues that encloses TMJ

Inner layer secretes synovial fluid
Outer layer is thick tissue that protects and limits movement

20
Q

4 muscles of mastication

A

Masseter
Temporalis
Medial pterygoid
Lateral pterygoid

21
Q

Masseter

A
O= zygomatic arch
I= lateral angle of mandible 

Function- elevates mandible

22
Q

Temporalis

A
O= temporal fossa 
I= coronoid process of mandible and anterior Ramos 

Function- anterior elevates mandible, posterior retrudes the mandible

23
Q

Medial pterygoid

A
O= medial surface of lateral pterygoid plate of sphenoid 
I= medial angle of mandible 

Function- elevates mandible

24
Q

Lateral pterygoid upper vs lower

A

Upper
O= great wing of sphenoid bone
I= articular disc and condyle
Function= opens mandible, pulls articular disc forward

Lower
O= lateral pterygoid plate of sphenoid
I= neck of condyle
Function- symmetrical= opening and protrusion
Asymmetrical= lateral movement of mandible

25
Q

Articular disc attachments

A

Posterior- retrodiscal tissue (bilaminar zone), loose ct that is highly innervated/vascular that attaches disc to tympanic plate and capsule

Anterior- lateral pterygoid

Medial- condyle and capsule

26
Q

What is the position of the articular disc determined by

A

Elastic fibers of the retrodiscal tissue bulling back

Vs

Lateral pterygoid pulling forward

27
Q

A contraction of the right lateral pterygoid results is what movement of the mandible

A

A left movement

28
Q

Mandible movement in each plane

A

Sagittal- symmetrical movement of mandible, muscles on both sides are working, opening and closing

Transverse- rotation
terminal hinge movement is when mouth is all the way open without mand moving forward, 25 mm

Translation- disc moves anteriorly to protrude mandible, about 10mm

Complex movement- movement of the mandible that combine rotation and translation

29
Q

Posselts diagram

A

Extreme mand motion record
Recorded in three planes and 3 points
Aka incisor, molar, and condylar

30
Q

Retruded contact

A

RC

Superior limit of terminal hinge movement

Aka centric relation or centric occlusion

31
Q

Stages of opening

A
  1. Pure rotational opening - rotational movement with condyles in terminal hinge position, without translation
  2. Rotation and translation- condyle is positioned down articular eminence, slightly protrudes
  3. Yawning- Extent of opening is limited by sphenomandibular ligament
32
Q

Anterior guidance

A

Occurs during protrusion when mandible moves and causes mand teeth to glide along lingual of max teeth, disoccluding posterior teeth

33
Q

Protrusive interference

A

Premature contact from MI to protrusive

Between mesial aspects of mand teeth and distal aspects of max teeth

34
Q

No slip from MI to RC?

A

Condyles are naturally in centric relation

Optimal condylar position

When MI = RC
