What type of joint is the TMJ classified as?
Diarthrodial with freedom of movement limited by muscles and ligaments
What are the 4 articular surfaces of TMJ?
- Temporal bone
- Mandibular condyle
- Superior disk surface
- Inferior disk surface
Which part of the joint capsule is responsible for rotation movement (first 25 mm of opening) / hinge?
Inferior
What joint movement is rotation by the inferior TMJ compartment called?
Ginglymoid
Which part of the TMJ joint capsule is responsible for translation movement?
Superior
What joint movement is translation?
Arthroidal
What is the angle of the heads of the condyles as they intersect on an imaginary line in the center of the head?
145-160
What is the character of the articular disk?
- Non-vascular
- Non-innervated
- 3 zones, anterior is the thickest
What is the thinnest part of the articular disk?
Middle / intermediate zone
What is the character of the retrodiscal tissue?
Vascular, innervated
Of the bilaminar zone of the retrodiscal tissue, which contains elastic fibers and what is their purpose?
Superior retrodiscal tissue lamina. It prevents extreme translational movements.
Of the bilaminar zone of the retrodiscal tissue, which contains collagen fibers and what is their purpose?
Inferior retrodiscal tissue lamina. It prevents extreme rotational movement.

4
What is the number of pairs of inframandibular muscles of mastication?
8

- Inflammatory response
- Cytokines / prostaglandins
- PAIN
What is the goal of either surgical or non-surgical treatment?
