TMD: Final Flashcards
what is the anatomy of the TMJ
anterior to tragus
temporal and mandible bones
complex synovial joint
describe the disc of the TMJ
avascular except on periphery
bears load with closing mouth
guides motion, resists compression, and provides stability
what all is the disc of the TMJ attached to
muscles (masseter and lateral pterygoid)
capsule
condyle
post. elastic ligament
TMJ mostly innervated by
trigeminal N
what does the capsule attach to
disc and muslce
describe ligaments of synovial joints
blend with capsule
condyle relationship of tmj
convex on concave fossa
follows Kaltenborn’s rule
normal opening for tmj
~3 knuckles
less than 1 = urgent referral
condyles flide anteriorly
bilateral clicking is normal
muscles that open jaw
digastric
lateral pterygoid
hyoids
muscles that swallow
hyoids
digastric
closing muscles
temporalis
masseter
medial pterygoid
lateral pterygoid
S&S of TMD
oral habit hx: thumb sucking, nail biting. excessive teeth grinding , gum/smokeless tobacco chewer
FHP
localized pain/crepitus
trigeminal n sensation
impaired motion/function
what will you see wearlier deviation with loss of functional opening
due to recent or past trauma
capsular patter of acute TMD with trauma
deviation toward painful TMJ due to inflammation and unwillingness to move
capsular pattern of chronic with fibrotic TMJ due to past trauma
deviation awat from hypermobile TMJ
accessory motion limited on side of deviation
