TMD Flashcards
TMJ Anatomy
- only synovial joint in the cranium
- mandible condyle is bi-convex
- temporal bone portion is saddle shaped
- meniscus helps stabalize: translates anteriorly during depression of mandible; innervated at periphery; neural and avascular at force bearing zones
Digastric, suprahyoid
-depress mandible (infrahyoid stabalizes hyoid bone) initially, then pterygoids depress jaw
Left lateral and medial pterygoids
-move mandible lateral and forward to the right
Temporalis, masseter, medial pterygoid
-close jaw tightly
Buccinator
–approximates lips and compresses cheeks (blowing)
Depressor labii inferior
-protrudes lower lip (pouting)
Depressor anguli oris and platysma
-draw corner of mouth down
Mentalis
-draws tip of chin upward
Orbicularis oris
-approximates and compresses lips
Zygomatic minor
-protrudes upper lip
Levator anguli oris
-lifts upper border of lip on one side without raising lateral angle (snarl)
Zygomatic major
-raises lateral angle of mouth (smile)
Risorius
-approximates lips and draws tips and draws corners lateral (grimace)
Intracapsular TMJ pathology
-infection, RA, OA, gout, metastatic CA, articular disc displacements
Extracapsular TMJ pathology
- Myofascial pain of masticatory muscles
- TMJ myofascial pain syndrome, TMJ dysfunction syndrome, TMJ syndrome
- TMJD: temporomandibular muscle and joint disorder
