21
Q

A

40-55mm

22
Q

What can happen in patients with TMJ when they open their mouth?

A

Deviation p

23
Q

What is internal derangement?

A

Localised mechanical fault innTMJ which interferes with its smooth action

24
Q

What sign may indicate risk of internal dereangemtn?

A

Clicking

This is because the disk may become abnormally shaped and displaced and may act as a door stop

25
Q

What are the symptoms of ineffective arthritis?

A
Pyrexia
Systemic upset
Swelling 
Erythema
Suppuration
Very restricted mouth opening
26
Q

What is ankylosis ?

A

Abnormal,al union across a joint space

27
Q

What type of tissue may form the union in ankylosis?

A

Fibrous or bony

28
Q

What are the two groups of ankylosis ?

A

Extracapsular and intra capsular

29
Q

What are the causes of extra capsular ankylosis?

A
  1. Trauma eg laceration leading to peri articular fibrosis
  2. Chronic interested infection next to the joint
  3. Tumours fibro sarcoma and chondrosarclma
  4. Peri articular fibrosis: irradiation or prolonged immobilisation of the jaw
30
Q

Why are the causes of intrscapsular ankylosis ?

A

Trauma: intra capsular, condylar fracture, penetrating wound and forceps delivery at birth
Infection: otitis media, mastoiditis, osteomyelitis, pyogenic arthritis
Tumour: osteoma, chondroma, osteosarcoma, sarcoma, fibro sarcoma, synovial sarcoma,
Misc: synovial chondromatosis

Arthroscopy and arthocentesis
High condylar shave
Eminectomy
Joint replacement

32
Q

What is arthocentesis?

A

Lavage of the joint

33
Q

What is an eminectomy?

A

Cut of: to enable joint to slide freely

Build up: stops translational movement

34

Patient present with trimsus and take open and closed view

37
Q

When would we take a PA jaws?

A
Fracture 
Cysts 
Tumour
Mandib hypo and hyperplasia 
Maxillofackal deformations
38
Q

When would we do a CT?

A

Looks at hard and soft tissue
Shape and condition of condyle, fossa and articular eminence
Position shape and integrity of disk
Nature of condylar head disease

39
Q

When would we do an MRI?

A

Assessment of soft tisse
Good when looking at position and from of disk in open and closed views and when diagnosis of internal dereangemtn possible and pre op before disc sugery

41
Q

When would we take a radiosotope ?

A

Use technetium 99mTc and will get into areas of active bone growth as well as salivary glands, thyroid, blood liver, lung and heart,

it will deviate towards the side of derangment eg the side that has the problem
