Q

TMJ: auriculotemporal provides

A
  • general sensory fibres from skin over large area of temple
  • external ear
  • tympanic membrane
  • TMJ

  • lock jaw decreased ROM
  • ligs stretch, disc sits ant and doesn’t reduce back into mandibular fossa
  • difficulty opening mouth more than 2 finger width
72
Q

TMJ: dislocation

A

ant:
- large bites, excessive contraction of lateral pterygoid mm
