Palpate joitns for ___

A

Crepe tans/clicks

46
Q

Palpate mastication muscles

A

1 side may be tender

47
Q

Ranges of motion

A

Active-patient opens mouth 3-6 cm, laterally 1-2 cm, and then retracts and protrudes mandible

Observe jaw movements for deviation

48
Q

Passive ROM

A

Gloves-move pots jaw medially and laterally(compare ROM on both sides)

49
Q

Observation TMJ

A

Cavities, suspicious lesions in mouth, teeth alignment (tongue blade for bite)

Facial asymmetry

50
Q

LOOK FOR SYMMETRY

A

Ok

51
Q

When should you suspect TMJ

A

Abnormal mandibular movements

Decreased ROM of TMJ
(Normal functional opening is 35-55 mm. Functional opening on TMD puts usually <25 mm and very often associated with pain)

Muscles of mastication tenderness

Pain with dynamic loading

Bruxism(look for signs of tooth wear)

Postural asymmetry (observe posture, assessing for slouching or a preference to lean to one side)

Neck and shoulder muscle tenderness

Normal cranial nerve examination

52
Q

Differential diagnosis TMJ

A

Migraine related disorders (Carotodynia)
Inflammatory diseases (infection, RA, giant cell arteritis)
Dental problems (posterior teeth support loss)
Neuralgia (trigeminal , glossopharyngeal)
Parotid gland disorders
Lymphoproliferative

53
Q

Microbiology and pathology TMJ

A
C tetani-lock jaw
Odontogenic cysts
Sclerosing osteomyelitis of garre
Monocystic fibrous dysplasia
Acromegaly-enlarged jaw-prognatism
54
Q

Medical side effects TMJ

A

Steroids-avascular necrosis

Bisphosphonates-osteonecrosis of the jaw

55
Q

Eagles syndrome(stylohyoid syndrome)

A

Elongated styloid process

56
Q

MOTHRR

A
Medication 
OMM
Testing
Holistic/humanistic
Referrals
Return visit
57
Q

Radiology for TMJ

A
Not helpful really 
But do if suspect dental problems 
Patient with severe symptoms that don’t improve with conservative treatment tactics
Concern for alternative cause
Recent, severe trauma
58
Q

Peripheral radiographs can r/o _ problems

A

Tooth

59
Q

MRI

A

See position and shape of disc

MRI alone not significant unless TMJ movement is restricted or there is clinical suspicion for a disc out

MRI not for evaluation of muscle pain

-disc commonly displaced in asymptomatic patients

60
Q

Disc displacement Sx

A

MRI showed

61
Q

No Sx of TMJD

A

33% had displaced discs

62
Q

Level 1 TMJ interventions

A

Cognitive behavioral therapy for chronic TMJ reduces activity interference, pain and depression at 1 year

63
Q

TMJ level 2 interventions

A

OMT, exercise emitriptyline, glucosamine sulfate for OA of tmj, benzodiazepine, Botox, acupuncture, OMT, NSAIDS, hypnorelaxation, oral habit reversal treatment, cognitive behavioral skills training plus biofeedback,, physical self regulation, therapeutic exercise

64
Q

Level 3 TMJ intervention

A
OMT 
Biofeedback alone 
Surgery
Occlusal splints
Occlusal adjustment 
Intra articular corticosteroid inj
PT
65
Q

OMT help TMJ

A

Didn’t improve it

But OMT associated with less NSADIS and muscle relaxant use

66
Q

How can we holistically fix

A

Change head posture, sleeping position , aggravating parafunctional oral behaviors (nail biting, pen chewing)

67
Q

THE MINIMUMGOAL FOR OPENING THE JAW IS TO BE ABLE TO FIT THE KNUCKLES OF THE INDEX AND MIDDLE FINGER BETWEEN THE ___

A

TEETH

68
Q

Retraining

A

Place the pads of your fingers over your chin
Open your mouth comfortable and slid your jaw forward as far as it will comfortable go
Press your jaw into your finger pads with a gentle pressure
Hold this as you inhale deeply
Upon exhalation allow your mouth to close comfortable
Repeat 3-5 times and do it at least 3 times a day

69
Q

Retraining lateral deviation

A

Place hand on mandible on side toward which the jaw deviates
Place the other hand on the opposite cheek bone
Apply enough pressure on these areas to illicit a gentle stretch as you open your mouth
Then close your mouth maintaining the same pressure
Do daily until full relief is obtained, then perform it 2-3 times a week

70
Q

Acupressure

A

Insert your clear pinky finger into your mouth between your cheek and gum
Slide your finger along your gum line, above your teeth, until your finger falls into a deeper recess behind your teeth, but in line your gums
Lean your head upon your finger until you experience a sligh discomfort
This discomfort will subside and you will be able to lean more and more into your finger
Do this 2-3 times a day until the symptoms have gone

71
Q

Deep presssure

A

Sometimes you may find very sensitive tender points in the cheek muscles
By applying a deep and steady pressure these points will disappear
You don’t haven’t massacre yourself to be successful just press on the point to illicit the feathers adage of pain and follow that edge until it disappears

72
Q

Self massage

A

Use the pads of your fingers to feel around your cheeks above the engles of your jaw with a kneading, circular motion
Any tension or Robey sensation that you feel you should massage away

73
Q

Temporalis self treatment

A

Use hot packs or a scarf to warm area for 12-30 minutes
Stretch with pinky finger pads placed firmly just behind the hairline and the rest of the fingers in the hair around the ears, apply traction towards the sky
Open and close the mouth slowly while maintaining the traction 5 times
Repeat 2-5 times

74
Q

Acupressure

A

Apply pressure to the feathers edge of discomfort

75
Q

Temporalis retraining

A

Open your jaw maximally
Press your index finger pads down against your jaw in an effort to open it more
Close your mouth gently against your fingers for 5 sec
Upon relaxing allow your fingers to draw your jaw open more
Repeat 3-5 times
