41
Q

What are the arthrokinematics of opening and closing the TMJ?

A

⦿ Phase 1
◼ opening = rotation only. This involves a posterior mandibular rotation around the X-axis. Estimated range is between 10 – 15 mm.

⦿ Phase 2
◼ opening (15 - 40 mm) = rot/translation of the disc/condyle complex. This involves a posterior X-axis rotation with anterior translation along the Z-axis.

⦿ Phase 3
◼ opening (40-50 mm) = further anterior translation of the disc/condyle complex, along the Z-axis. Range of normal opening as measured between the anterior incisors of the mandibular and maxillary teeth (MIO) is 40 – 50 mm.

42
