TMJ Flashcards
temporomandiublar joint
- synovial hinge like joint
- fibrocartilage vs hyaline
- articular disc
- motions: elevation/depression - lateral deviation
- protrusion/retrustion
temporomandibular articular surfaces are covered in ____ instead of hyaline
fibrocartilage
temporal and mandibular make up the _______ ______ and provide muscular attachment
articular surfaces
lateral pterygoid plate of the sphenoid promised origin for
lateral and medial pterygoids
major muscles that elevates the mandible
masseter and temporalis
part of the mandible
mandiubar condole , coronoid process and angle
purpose of inferior and superior joint cavities
helps the disc - mobile
purpose of retrodical laminae
tether the disc and bring it back into closed position after opening
dis glides ___ as the jaw opens
anteriorly
depression - opening of jaw ROM
35-55mm
profusion - jaw forward ROM
6-8mm
lateral deviation - side to side ROM
approx 10 mm to either side
Joint axis of the mandible
horizontal
anterior/posterior
vertical
horizontal axis allows for
depression and elevation
anterior. and posterior axis allows for
chewing - rocking motion
vertical axis allows for
lateral deviation
motion of lateral deviation
spin ipsilateral and protrude opposite
true or false: mandible is always the joint partner that moves
true
inferior joint arthrokinematics
rolls posteriorly during depress so glides anteriorly
superior joint arthrokinematics
anterior translation and slight inferior translation
purpose of retrodiskal fibers
restrain further translation
closed pack position
teeth closed
resting postion (open pack)
mouth slightly open, lips together, teeth not in contact tongue resting behind top teeth
capsular pattern
limitation of mouth opening
occlusal positioned
gentle contact of teeth
forward head may cause
- posterior tension
- increased compression
