Q

Diagnose the disc displacement:

In the closed mouth position, the disc is in an anterior position relative to the condylar head and the disc reduces upon opening of the mouth.
Medial and lateral displacement of the disc may also be present.
Clicking, popping, or snapping noises may occur with disc reduction.
A hx of prior locking in the closed mouth position coupled with interference in mastication precludes this dx.

A

Disc displacement with reduction.

Q

Dx:
In the closed mouth position, the disc is in an anterior position relative to the condylar head, and the disc intermittently reduces with opening of the mouth.

When the disc does not reduce with opening of the mouth, intermittent limited mandibular opening occurs.

When limited opening occurs, a maneuver may be needed to unlock the TMJ.
Medial and lateral displacement of the disc may also be present.

Clicking, popping, or snapping noises may occur with disc reduction.

Disc displacement with reduction with intermittent locking.

Q

Dx:

In the closed mouth position, the disc is in an anterior position relative to the condylar head and the disc does not reduce with opening of the mouth. Medial and lateral displacement of the disc may also be present. This disorder is NOT associated with current limited opening.

Exam:

Maximum assisted opening movement including vertical incisal overlap is greater than or equal to 40 mm.

23
Q

Clicks during what movement are needed for reduction?

A

During opening and closing, or one opening/closing and one horizontal movement.

24
Q

For degenerative joint disease, we use this machine.

A

CT

25
Q

Useful for assessing osseous deformities, but CANNOT produce accurate images of the articular disc.

A

CT

26
Q

Dx:

1) Normal relative size of the condylar head.
2) No subcortical sclerosis or articular surface flattening.
3) No deformation due to subcortical cyst, surface erosion, osteophyte, or generalized sclerosis.

A

Normal Joint/condyle

27
Q

The condyle or eminence have bone changes in this.

A

Degenerative Joint Disease

28
Q

Continuous crunching sound.

A

Crepitus

29
Q

Hx for what disease?

1) In the last 30 days, any TMJ noises with jaw movement or function. OR
2) Pt reports of any noise during the exam.

A

Degenerative Joint Disease

30
Q

Exam for what disease?

Crepitus detected with palpation during any movement.

A

Degenerative Joint Disease

31
Q

These findings do NOT mean that you have Degenerative Joint Disease

A

Flattening or cortical sclerosis

32
Q

These imaging findings indicate you have Degenerative Joint Disease.

A
  • Subchondral cysts
  • Erosion
  • Generalized sclerosis
  • Osteophytes
33
Q

What is loss of cortical bone, like someone is chewing it?

A

Erosion

34
Q

What does generalized sclerosis look like on a CT scan?

A

The condyle is completely white.

35
Q

When the jaw is locked open (can’t close), and the patient has to self-maneuver it to reduce the dislocation.

A

Subluxation.

36
Q

When the patient has an open lock, and needs a doctor to put it back into position.

A

Luxation

37
Q

Luxation and Subluxation are AKA

A

Open lock

38
Q

Dx:

In the open mouth position, the disc-condyle complex is positioned anterior to the articular eminence and is unable to return to a normal closed mouth position without a manipulative maneuver.

When the patient can reduce the dislocation himself/herself, this is called what?

A

Subluxation

39
Q

What does CT imaging for subluxation show?

A

The condyle is positioned anterior to the articular eminence with the patient unable to close his/her mouth.

40
Q

Most frequent cause of TMJ ankylosis is this?

A

Macrotrauma

41
Q

These are characterized by restricted mandibular movement with deflection to the affected side on opening that may result as a long-term sequela of trauma, including mandibular fracture.

A

Intra-articular fibrous adhesions and ankyloses.

42
Q

The formation of a bony mass that results in fusion of the joint compartments.

A

Osseous ankylosis

43
Q

Fibrous adhesions of the TMJ that cause hypomobility occur in which compartment?

A

Superior

44
Q

Marked deflection to the affected side is seen in what kind of disorders?

A

Hypomobility

45
Q

Most common ankylosis

A

Fibrous

46
Q

This type of ankylosis has no radiographic finding other than the absence of ipsilateral condylar translation on opening.

A

Fibrous ankylosis

47
Q

Has radiographic evidence of bone proliferation with deflection to the affected side and limited laterotrusion to the contralateral side.

A

Osseous ankylosis

48
Q

Must have the following to diagnose what kind of ankylosis?

1) Limited range of motion on opening.
2) Marked deflection to the affected side.
3) Markedly limited laterotrusion to the contralateral side.
4) No radiographic evidence.
5) Decreased to complete lack of ipsilateral condylar translation on opening.
6) A disc space between the ipsilateral condyle and the eminence.

A

Fibrous Anklyosis

49
Q

Disc space difference btw fibrous and osseous ankylosis.

A

No disc space in osseous ankylosis bc it’s replaced with bone.

50
Q

In this ankylosis, imaging must show bone proliferation with obliteration of part or all of the joint space.

A

Osseous

51
Q

Increase in the normal number of cells (non-neoplastic)

A

Aplasia

54
Q

This causes an open bite when in the TMJ.

A
