shit you needa know Flashcards
TMJ Disc purposes
Increases congruency
Minimizes loss of mobility
Reduces friction
Decreases biomechanical stress
TMJ Disc shape and tissue properties
Two parts:
- Lower part allows depression and elevation
- Upper part allows protrusion and retraction
Dense fibrous tissue
TMJ Disc attachments
Anterior: joint capsule and superior lateral pterygoid
Posterior: Superior and inferior laminae
Medial and Lateral: Ligamentous capsule complex
Temporomandibular ligament (lateral ligament) purpose
Limit lateral displacement
know locations of stylomandibular and sphenomandibular ligaments
do it bitch
which muslces do elevation (closing)?
Masseter, temporalis, medial pterygoid, superior belly of lateral pterygoid (disc stabilization)
which muscles do depression (opening)?
inferior belly of lateral pterygoid, suprahyoid muscles, infrahyoid muscles
which muscles do protrusion?
superficial fibers of masseter, medial pterygoid, lateral pterygoid
which muscles do retrusion?
deep fibers of masseter, temporalis, suprahyoid (digastric), superior belly of lateral pterygoid
which muscles do lateral excursion (deviation)?
Ipsi: temporalis , masseter
Contra: medial and lateral pterygoid
branches of external carotid artery
Transverse facial artery
Superficial temporal artery
Maxillary artery
External carotid artery
Lingual artery
Facial artery
Branches of Maxillary artery
Infra-orbital artery
Buccal artery
Mental artery
Trigeminal Nerve (V/5) Sensory)
Ophthalmic nerve (superior orbital fissure)
Maxillary nerve (foramen rotundum)
Mandibular nerve (foramen ovale)
Facial Nerve VII/7 nerve supply
know posterior auricular nerve
but there are buccal, zygomatic, temporal , marginal mandibular, cervical, cervical facial, and temporofacial branches
know dermatomes
