TMJ Flashcards
T/F Joint sounds alone cause you to have TMJ pain.
F
only muscle attached to the disc
lateral pterygoid mm
Important thing to remember about the trigemical cervical nucleaus
refferred pain from trigeminal nerve afferents (pain in face) to upper cervical spine (C1-C3)
mandibular Lateral excursion
ipsilateral temporalis, contralateral lateral pterygoid.
normative values for opening
M- 45-50 mm, F-40-45 mm
normative values for lateral excursion
10 mm bilaterally
normative values for protursion
5-10 mm
If same eye, angle of mouth are elevated
craniovertebral jt problem
If eye and opposite angle of mouth are elevated
craniomandibular problem
4 points of palpation
anterior/posterior and inferior/superior synovium
disc displacement typically pulls
medial
Typical age for TMJD
20-40. average 35.9
comorbid conditions that increase risk factors of TMJD
LBP, fibromyalgia, sleep apnea, depression
TMJ nor tooth wear __ ____ do not predict incidence
in isolation
systemic ___ _____ is likely a causitive factor
ligamentous hyperlaxity
what divides the jt into superior and inferior components
articular disc
posterior attachment of the articular disc to the
temporal bone through a section of loose retrodiscal tissue
anterior attachment of the articular disc to the
capsule and the superior lateral pterygoid mm
inserts to the neck of the condyle
middle, inferior lateral pterygoid
attached to the medial aspect of the disc, stabilizes disc against the articular eminence of the temporal bone
superior lateral pterygoid
three general movements
depression, elevation, lateral excursion
depression
suprahyoid mm
elevation
masseter, temporalis, med & lat pterygoid, buccinator
lateral excursion
ipsilateral temporalis, contralateral lateral pterygoid
STMJ is the only joint that that’s resting position is dictated by other bones..
Teeth (occlusion is the last link in the kinetic chain)
1st 15-25 mm of opening occurs ________
primarily as a rotational motion of the condyle in the inferior joint space
once the collateral ligaments tauten, the opening continues as primarily a _____ ______ in the upper joint space until ____ mm is reached and the posterior and collateral ligaments are taut
translatory gliding, 35
opening greater than 35 mm results from _________ and further stretching applied to the posterior and collateral lig
further translation with over-rotation
