21
Q

What muscles aid in elevation?

A

temporalis, masseter, medial pterygoid

22
Q

What muscles aid in lateral deviation?

A

medial & lateral pterygoid to opposite side (contralateral movement) and temporalis to same side (ipsilateral)

23
Q

What muscles aid in retrusion?

A

bilateral temporalis and suprahyoids

24
Q

What is the depression/ opening of the mouth responsible for?

A

key for may functional activities

25
Q

What is the elevation/ closing of the mouth responsible for?

A

essential for grinding food

26
Q

What is the lateral deviation of the mouth responsible for?

A
  • side to side translation

- grinding motion associated with chewing

27
Q

What is the protrusion of the mouth responsible for?

A

(Mandible translates anteriorly)

Integral aspect of maximal opening of mouth

28
Q

What is the retrusion of the mouth responsible for?

A

(madible translates posteriorly)

Essential for functional activities

29
Q

The first 11* of arthrokinematic motion of the TMJ includes ______?

A

rotation

The condyle rolls relative to the inferior surface of the disc in the inferior joint

30
Q

True or false? The translation of the condyle and disc along the articular eminence in the superior joint normal should occur together?

A

True

31
Q

There is a : ratio opening to lateral deviation and protrustion

A

4:1

32
Q

During early phase of opening the ROM is _____ and the body of the mandible moves ______ and _______.

A

ROM is 35-50%

mandible moves posteriorly and inferior

33
Q

During late phase of opening the final ___% of ROM occurs.

A

50%

34
Q

During late phase of opening, movement occurs from ________ to translatory motion.

A

rotation

35
Q

During late phase of opening the condyle and disc move together ______ and _______.

A

forward and inferior

36
Q

During late phase of opening what kind of maximal stretch on the disc occurs?

A

maximal anterior stretch

37
Q

During closing tension from where retracts the disc?

A

Tension from the retrodiscal lamina

38
Q

Which occurs first and last: rotation or translation?

A

Translation - first

Rotation - last

39
Q

Is neck function an integral part of natural jaw behavior?

A

Yes

40
Q

What is TMD?

A

A collection of symptoms that involve the TMJ and surrounding structures (facial muscles, ligaments, teeth, ears, neck, etc).

41
Q

What symptoms are included in TMD?

Limited mandibular ROM
42
Q

What can results in loss of tissue function and damage to the TMJ?

A

Unresolved and chronic inflammation

43
Q

What types of unresolved and chronic inflammation diseases may cause TMJ disfunction?

A

RA, other autoimmune disorders, trauma to the face/ TM joint, long periods of immobilization
