Internal Derangement of TMJ,ankylosis, Flashcards
define internal derangement of TMJ
disorder of TMJ in which articular disk is in an abnormal position as it relates to the condyle and fossa when the teeth are in occlusion.
what can malposition of the articular disk lead to? (4)
-pain
-instability
-dec range of motion
-abnormal mobility of mandible
6 etiologies of internal derangement of TMJ
-trauma
-joint laxity
-parafunctional habits
-altered joint lubrication system
-anchored disk phenomenon (disk adhesion to articular fossa)
-myofascial pain dysfunction
-dec max incisal opening
-deviation
-deflection
-palpable clicks (reciprocal)
-crepitus
-patients complain of pain in preauricular region
internal derangement of the TMJ
Imaging dx for internal derangemeent of TMJ
MRI-T1 and T2. Disk is normally displaced in an anteriomedial vector
-osseous changes
-abnormal contours of disk
disk displacement w/o reduction
patient attempts to open but condyle can’t pass over posterior band of disk.
what do you see with disk displacement w/o reduction
deflection to the ipsilateral side
decreased excursion to contralateral side
what is disk displacement w/ reduction when patient opens what happens?
patient opens mouth w/ click that is produced when condyle passes over posterior part of disk
-during opening the disk returns to normal anatomical position
-during closing , a second click can be appreciated as the condyle passes back over the thickened posterior portion of the disk.
what classification classifies the degree of internal derangement and provides guidance in treatment options?
Wilkes classification
stage I-V
Wilkes stage 1 radiographic findings
anterior disk displacement
normal disk contour, no osseous changes
Wilkes stage 1 clinical findings
painless clicking
no pain
no locking
Wilkes stage 1 surgical findings
normal disk noted and displaced anteromedially
Wilkes stage II clinical findings
occasional painful clicking with intermittent locking
wilkes stage II radiographic findings
anterior disk displacement w/reduction on opening
mild disk deformity w/ no osseous changes
wilkes stage II surgical findings
disk thickened and displaced anteriormedially
wilkes stage III clinical findings
-frequent painful clicking w/ severe limitation in range of motion
-joint tenderness
wilkes stage III radiographic findings
anterior disk displacement w/o reduction
moderate disk deformity
no osseous changes
wilkes stage III surgical findings
deformed disk and displaced anteromedially
-adhesions may be appreciated
wilkes stage IV clinical findings
-restricted range of motion with chronic pain and joint crepitus
wilkes stage IV radiographic findings
anterior disk displacement w/o reduction
marked disk deformity w/ osseous changes
wilkes stage IV surgical findings
disk perforated w/ osseous changings of the condylar head and fossa
wilkes stage V clinical findings
joint pain and crepitus
wilkes stage V radiographic findings
disk displaced
marked disk deformity w/ severe osseous changes
wilkes stage V surgical findings
disk perforated w/ severe osseous changes of the condylar head and fossa.
6 tx of internal derangement of TMJ
-conservative tx
-intra-articular injections w/ local anesthetic/steroid mixture
-arthrocentesis w/ or w/o arthroscopy w/ repositioning
-meniscectomy w/ or w/o graft replacement
-modified condylectomoy
-post op physical therapy
