Q

What functions does the medial pterygoid have?

A
  1. works synergistically with the masseter and temporalis to suspend and elevate the mandible
  2. protrusion of the mandible with teeth slightly apart is it most active state
  3. unilateral action creates lateral devation and works synergistically with the ipsalateral lateral pterygoid
  4. inhibited with active mandibular depression

A
  1. tense and raise the soft palate during swallowing allow room for the bolus
  2. works with levator veli palatini to to open and close the eustachian tube during yawing, swallowing, and sneezing
24
Q

What muscles can contribute to hypobaroacusia?

A

tonic contraction of the medial pterygoid can increase tension on tensor veli palatini leading to closure of the eustachian tube

25
Q

What are the four main ligaments of the TMJ?

A
  1. lateral or temporomandibular
  2. internal lateral or sphenomandibular
  3. stylomandibular
  4. mandibular-malleolar or ligament of Pinto
26
Q

Describe the shape and attachments of the temporomandibular or lateral ligament?

A
  1. fan shaped
  2. lateral surface of the zygomatic arch and articular eminence TO
  3. postero-lateral aspect of the neck of the mandible
27
Q

What are the functions of the lateral or temporomandibular ligament?

A
  1. strengthens the TMJ

2. prevent excessive retrusion and compression of posterior structures

28
Q

How can you isolate lateral temporomandibular or lateral ligament pain?

A
  1. passive retrusion of the mandible will tension the ligament and posterior structures
  2. passive opening of the mouth will decrease the posterior pressure and keep the tension on the lateral ligament
29
Q

How would you differentiate between tempromandibular and sphenomandibular ligaments?

A
  1. initial opening of the mouth is the lateral ligament

2. terminal opening is resisted by sphenomandibular and stylomandibular

30
Q

What is the function of the sphenomandibular ligament?

A
  1. its considered an accessory ligament and the function is not clear
  2. may act to provide a restraining force to maintain opposition of condyle, disc and temporal bone
31
Q

Describe the attachments of the sphenomandibular ligament

A

1angular spine of the sphenoid

2.lingula of the mandible at the mandibular foramen

32
Q

How would you incriminate the sphenomandibular ligament?

A

protrusion, jaw opening, contralateral lateral deviation

33
Q

Describe the attachments of the stylomandibular ligament

A
  1. styloid process of the temporal bone

2. medial angle of the ramus

34
Q

What motion does the stylomandibular ligament resist?

A

anterior translation of the mandible

35
Q

How would you incriminate stylomandibular ligament?

A

passive opening with protrusion

36
Q

What are the attachments of the ligament of Pinto

A

the mandibular-malleolar ligament attaches to the neck of the malleus and tympanic membrane TO medio-posterior-superior capsule or meniscus of TMJ

37
Q

How does the TMJ directly effect the ossicles of the ear?

A

The Mandibular-malleolar ligaments run directly from the TMJ capsule or disc to the malleus bone there for movement of the the capsule or disc changes the orientation of the ossicles

38
Q

What is the function of the TMJ disc and how it accomplishes its function

A
  1. To fill the constantly changing space between the tow bones of the condyle and the fossa
  2. it is somewhat mobile allowing for many minute movements to accommodate for the changing space
  3. fibrocatilagenous nature allow for increased flexibility
  4. the thin intermediate zone also allows for pliability and adaptation to the changing surgfaces
39
Q

How is the TMJ capsule different than other joint capsules

A
  1. From the disc down it is taut
  2. from the disc up it is loose
  3. the lateral aspect is kept tight by the temporomandibular ligament while the rest of the capsule is unsupported and loose
40
Q

Describe the articular innervation of the TMJ

A
  1. there are both primary and accessroy articular nerves
  2. primary from the auriculotemporal nerve
  3. accessory from the massetric, deep temporal and lateral pterygoid nerves
41
Q

Describe the neural pathway of the primary articular nerves of the TMJ

A

trigeminal nerve > mandibular branch > auriculotemporal posterior and lateral

42
Q

Describe the neural pathway of the the accessory articular nerves of the TMJ

A
  1. deep temporal innervates the anterior and medial joint
  2. lateral pterygoid of the mandibular nerve innervates anterior medial capsule
  3. anterior auricular arises from masseteric nerve to innervate anterior lateral capsule
43
Q

Describe the behavior of type I mechanoreceptors with TMJ

A
  1. slow adapting
  2. long latencies (.8 to 2.5 seconds)
  3. adapt within 20 seconds
  4. demonstrate a range of thresholds
  5. constant afferent contributions to control mandibular musculature
44
Q

Describe the behavior of type II mechanorecptors with TMJ

A
  1. rapidly adapting (within seconds)
  2. act as on-off receptors
  3. entirely reflexogenic
  4. very short latencies
  5. respond briefly at the onset of jaw movement
45
Q

Describe the behavior of type III mechanorecptors in the TMJ

A
  1. slow adapting

2. provide powerful refelxogenic response

46
Q

How does the condyle of the TMJ move during mouth opening?

A
  1. during the first 6-10mm of opening the condylar heads spin around a horizontal axis within the mandibular fossa
  2. as the mouth opens further they continue to rotate and an anterior translation takes the condylar heads into the articular eminences
  3. the rotation is thought to take place in the lower joint while the translation is thought to take place in the upper part of the joint
47
Q

Describe the movement of the TMJ disc with mouth opening and closing

A
  1. during opening the superior stratum pulls the disc posteriorly to keep in properly oriented on the head of the condyle
  2. during closing the lateral pterygoid contracts to reorient the disc on the head of the condyle to counter act the tension of the superior stratum
48
Q

The primary pathology of the TMJ is associated with what factors?

A

disturbances in occulsion couple with microtrauma

49
Q

What are some signs and symptoms of otomandibular syndrome?

A
  1. ear pain
  2. congestion
  3. tinnitus
  4. loss of equilibrium
  5. ear pressure
  6. conductive hearing loss
  7. abnormal sounds in the ear
50
Q

What muscles does CN V innervate

A
  1. muscles of massitication
