36
Q

______ describes
•The longer the patient suffers
•The greater the paini ntensification
•Thus perpetuates the problem

37
Q

Functional disorders of the _______:
•Derangements for the condyle-disc complex
•Structural incompatibility of the articular surfaces
•Inflammatory joint disorder

A

TMJ

38
Q

The ______ muscle as it works to keep the disc between the condyle and the articular eminence, can actually pull the disc forward, if the posterior retrodiscal ligament gets stretched and cannot pull the disc back into the proper position. This can lead to function on the posterior border of the disc, where the disc can become flattened

A

superior lateral pterygoid

39
Q

•The posterior border of the disc becomes thinned, the disc can be displaced further into the discal space so the condyle becomes positioned on the posterior border of the disc.

A

Disc Displacement

40
Q

When the disc is replaced to normal position, it is said to be reduced. Thus if the condyle will move off the disc, but the disc will return back to its original position, the condition is referred to as __________

A

Disc Displacement with reduction

41
Q

Pull of the superior lateral pterygoid as the patient moves into protrusive, will become more _____ in it’s pull.

A

medial

42
Q

The disc can be displaced _______ with the lateral pole being exposed first

A

anteriomedially

43
Q

If the disc moves off the condyle, and becomes displaced to the anterior of the condyle, and does not return back to the head of the condyle, the derangement is known as ________

A

disc displacement without reduction.

44
Q

Function on the ________ can be painful for the patient. Despite the discomfort, with time, these tissues will begin to turn into fibrous tissue, and function will be altered, but will become pain free.

A

retrodiscal tissues

45
Q

In a healthy joint the articular surfaces are _____ and ____

A

firm and smooth

46
Q
