Q

how to relocate dislocated TMJ

A

Pt low, hands in on buccal side (external ridge) and push down and slowly relocate

17
Q

hyperplasia of TMJ

A

Grow more
One condyle larger than other – asymmetry
cause TMD

18
Q

neoplasia of TMJ

A

tumour in joint is rare

usually associated with structures in the area (osteochondroma, osteoma, osteosarcoma)

19
Q

pathogenesis of TMD

4 main

A
  • Inflammation of muscles of mastication or TMJ secondary to parafunctional habits
  • Trauma, either directly to the joint or indirectly e.g. sustained opening during dental treatment (single or multiple episodes)
  • Stress
  • Psychogenic
  • Occlusal abnormalities - no evidence to support this, although a restoration that is significantly “high” may cause muscle pain due to posturing
20
Q

assessment for pt with TMD

history

A

history
* C/O
* HPC - Pain history - location, nature, duration, exacerbating / relieving factors, severity, frequency, time of occurrence (in the morning – bruxism; during the day – habits), Associated pain elsewhere – neck, shoulders
* PMH
* PDH
* SH - Important - occupation, stress, home circumstances, sleeping pattern, recent bereavement, relationships, habits and hobbies

21
Q

examination for pt with TMD

extra oral

A

Muscles of mastication
Joints
* Clicks – early/late
* Crepitus – indicates arthritic change, crunching
Jaw movements
Facial asymmetry

22
Q

examination for pt with TMD

intra oral

A

Interincisal mouth opening
* Max mouth opening between teeth
* Willis bite gauge - spokes facing same way
Signs of parafunctional habits
* Cheek biting (morsicatio buccarum)
* Linea alba (white line on check along occlusal plane)
* Tongue scalloping
* Occlusal non-carious tooth surface loss
Muscles of mastication – more grinding than clenching

23
Q

special investigations for TMD

A

Not usually required, but if there is suspicion of pathology then:
Radiographic evaluation
* OPT (excl dental pathology – not just for TMD)
* CT / Cone-beam CT
* MRI
* Transcranial view (TMJ view)
* Nuclear imaging (Technetium-99) – hyperplasia, taken up more in areas of inc cellular activity – these hotspots picked up on imaging
* Arthrography – injecting something into joint and taking image
* Ultrasound

24
Q

common clinical features for TMD

8

A
  • Females > males
  • Age: most common between 18-30 years
  • Intermittent pain of several months or years duration
  • Muscle / joint / ear pain, particularly on wakening
  • Trismus / locking
  • ‘Clicking/popping’ joint noises
  • Headaches
  • Crepitus indicates late degenerative changes
25
Q

11 differential diagnosis for TMD to rule out

A
  • Dental pain
  • Sinusitis
  • Ear pathology
  • Salivary gland pathology
  • Referred neck pain
  • Headache
  • Atypical facial pain
  • Trigeminal neuralgia
  • Angina – small area of skin on boder of mandible has same innervation
  • Condylar fracture
  • Temporal arteritis – worrying/serious, doctor sees, severe pain in temporal region
26
Q

reversible tx options for TMD

8

A

pt education
* counselling - no quick fix, takes time and understanding

electromyographic recording
jaw exercises - physical therapy, massage/heat, acupuncture,
relaxation/mindfulness
TENS
CBT and hypnotherapy

Splints
* bite raising appliances
* anterior repositioning splint

medications

27
Q

medications for TMD

5

A

NSAIDs
Muscle relaxants
Tricyclic antidepressants
* Has muscle relaxant in
Botox
* Paralysis muscle, help reduce clenching habit – reset chance to break habit
* Not standard approach – last resort
Steroids

28
Q

irreversible tx options for TMD

2

A

Occlusal adjustment
* Rarely done – no evidence of benefit1

TMJ surgery rare
* Arthrocentesis
* Arthroscopy
* Disc-repositioning surgery
* Disc repair/removal
* High condylar shave
* Total joint replacement

29
Q

key thought when tx TMD

A

need to tx underlying cause of TMD

or problem with recur

30
Q

counselling for TMD

points to cover

A
  • Reassurance
  • Soft diet
  • Masticate bilaterally
  • No wide opening
  • No chewing gum
  • Don’t incise foods
  • Cut food into small pieces
  • Hobbies – reduce clenching e.g. wind instrument
  • Stop parafunctional habits e.g. nail biting, grinding
  • Support mouth on opening e.g. yawning
31
Q

bite raising appliance options for TMD

A

Wenvac – soft rubbery, 1-2mm
Michigan splint – upper jaw, made by lab, hard heat cure acrylic
Essex retainer - too thin for TMD pts

Full lower – better as less aesthetic so can wear day and night

Need to cover all the biting surfaces for all of one of the arches
* Otherwise DAHL effect – intrusion/extrusion of some teeth and disrupt occlusion – not Lucia jig

The exact mechanism behind the success of bite raising appliances (BRAs) is unknown and there is little scientific evidence to support their use
* Theoretically, BRAs stabilize the occlusion and improve the function of the masticatory muscles, thereby decreasing abnormal activity.
* They also protect the teeth in cases of tooth grinding

Patients may need to wear their splint for several weeks before a benefit is felt. The splint should be worn at the time of parafunction

32
Q

disc displacement (internal derangement)

pt presentation and mechanism

A

Patients with internal derangement of the TMJ may present with a painful clicking TMJ

Joint clicking is due to lack of coordinated movement between the condyle and the articular disc

The condyle has to overcome the mechanical obstruction before full joint movement can be achieved. Clicks may occur on opening or closing and can be classified as early, middle or late

33
Q

most common cause of TMJ clicking

A

anterior disc displacement with reduction

34
Q

anterior disc displacement with reduction

A

disc is intially displaced anteriorly by the condyle during opening until disc reduction occurs

35
Q

signs/symptoms of anteiror disc displacment with reduction

A

jaw tightness/locking i.e. jaw movement is impaired for a short period of time until the disc reduces

The mandible may initially deviate to the affected side before returning to the midline.

If left untreated, may eventually progress to osteoarthritis

36
Q

tx anterior disc displacement with reduction

A

Counselling
Limit mouth opening
Bite raising appliance
Surgery occasionally may be required
If painless, no treatment required
Reassure

37
Q

trismus from trauma

A

Can occur after even minor ‘traumatic’ events, will usually resolve spontaneously:
* IDB
* Prolonged dental treatment
* Infection
If no resolution after acute phase:
* Physiotherapy
* Therabite® Jaw Motion Rehabilitation System
* Jaw screw - incisors at narrow end and screw turn will widen gap between incisors
* tongue depressors – inc each day number

Haematoma in medial pterygoid muscle (likely) causing restricted opening
