TMJ Flashcards
normal depression ROM
40-50 mm
how many fingers for functional depression?
2 fingers functional
how many fingers for normal?
3 fingers normal
translation and rotation:
1st rotation
11-25 mm anterior rotation of condyle on disk –> posterior roll of mandible
2nd translation
both condyle and disc anterior and inferior –> anterior slide of condyle
control of disc - depression
disc translates along the articular eminence, retrodiscal lamina limits translation
passively
control of disk - depression
no active contraction of superior lateral pterygoid
-possibly inferior fibers of lateral pterygoid
actively
elasticity of the superior retrodisc lamina applies traction force posteriorly
passive
where does protrusion and retrusion occur?
superior portion of the joint
anterior translation without rotation of the inferior joint
protrusion
translation posteriorly
retrusion
protrusion:
bilateral lamina stretches _____ to allow complete motion
6-9 mm
retrusion: translation posteriorly how many mm?
3 mm
what is the normal degree of lateral exursion?
8-11 mm
mandible moves away from midline during mandibular depression and stays to L or R
deflection
mandible moves away from midline during mandibular depression or protrusion and RETURNS to midline at end range
deviation
dentition:
freeway space
normal rest position with 1.5-5m of space between upper and lower teeth when at rest
joint hyper-mobility what is the range
opening > 40 mm
what is the S curve? deflection or deviation
deviation
what is the C curve? deflection or deviation
deflection
allow mouth to open wider:
what happens to the inferior TMJ
what happens to the superior TMJ
inferior TMJ: posterior roll of the mandibular condyle
superior TMJ: anterior slide
allow mouth to close:
what happens to the inferior TMJ
what happens to the superior TMJ
inferior: anterior roll of of the mandibular condyle
superior: posterior slide
which articular disc placement causes clicks?
reduction
what is articular disc displacement without reduction?
posterior attachments overstretched, unable to relocate during depression
