TMJ Flashcards
What kind of joint is the TMJ
Sliding Hinge Joint (ginglymoarthrodial joint)
What are the Articular surfaces associated with the TMJ?
Mandibular condyles and the mandibular fossa
Muscles of Mastication
Masseter, Temporalis, Lateral Pterygoid, and Medial Pterygoid
Masseter Movement
Elevate and protrusion
Temporalis Movement
Elevate and Retraction
Medial Pterygoid Movement
Elevate and retraction
Lateral Pterygoid Movement
Depress and protrusion
Muscles of mastication Innervation
Trigeminal Nerve (CNV), mandibular branch
TMJ Osteokinematics
Elevate (Close)
Depress (Open)
Protrusion
Lateral deviation
Depression Normal Values (How many mm is normal to open mouth?)
40-50 mm
Lateral Deviation Normal Values (How many mm is normal to open mouth?)
10 mm
Medial Deviation Normal Values (How many mm is normal to open mouth?)
10 mm
TMJ Arthrokinematics (Depression and Elevation)
- Roll in mandibular fossa first 20 mm
- Rotation (spin) - Slide onto articular eminence
- Translation
TMJ Arthrokinematics (Lateral Deviation)
- Ipsilateral rotation w/i fossa
- Contralateral transition
- anteromedial
TMJ Arthrokinematics (Protrusion)
- Forward slide w/o roll
- Translation only
