TMD Exam 1 Flashcards
Another name for clicking
anterior disc displacement with reduction
Ant displacement w/o reduction
*LIMITS from Opening
Ant displacement with reduction (clicking)
*Clicking does NOT limit opening
Should clicking interfere with how wide you open?
No
closed lock with ADD without reduction does it interfere with opening?
yes
stylomandibular ligament
i. extrinsic
ii. is a thickening of the fibrous capsule of the parotid gland
iii. runs from the styloid process to the angle of the mandible
iv. connects mandible to the cranium, but does NOT strengthen joint
sphenomandibular ligament
i. extrinsic
ii. runs from spine of sphenoid to the lingula of the mandible
iii. connects mandible to the cranium, but does NOT strengthen joint
lateral (temporomandibular) ligament
i. intrinsic
ii. a thickening of the articular capsule forms this ligament
iii. strengthens joint and prevents dislocation
lateral pterygoid
i. opens mouth
ii. acting together: protrude mandible
iii. acting alternatively: grinding action
Masseter
i. closes jaw by elevating mandible
temporalis
i. closes jaw and elevates mandible
ii. posterior fibers retract the mandible
medial pterygoid
i. elevates mandible and closes jaw
ii. acting together: protrude mandible
iii. acting alone: protrudes one side
iv. acting alternatively: grinding action
capsulitis
inflammation of joint similar to sinovitis
Osteoarthritis (most common)
i. “wear and tear” arthritis
ii. Next most common is rheumatoid arthritis
internal derangements
clicking and popping
systemic arthritis
i. every systemic arthritis you have in the body can be in the TMJ
1. ex: rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, gouty arthritis, etc.
traumatic arthritis
joint is inflamed b/c of injury
Differential diagnosis is important so ….
treatment can be focused on Joint or muscle
Most TMD cases are a combination of joint and muscle are?
multifactorial
Most important thing when screening patient
HISTORY
Note: only thing for immediate treatment is ADD without replacement
How to utilize diagnosis?
1) Initial diagnosis
- Capsulitis and myalgia
2) Sub diagnosis
- superior capsulitis
3) lateral pterygoid myalgia
4) masseter myalgia
Make distinction between capsulitis and myalgia
-maybe sneak superior capsulitis question in there and how to treat
1) put pivot on one side
2) Initial treatment is maxillary stabilization, PT & biofeedback
