TMJ Flashcards
mandible
condyle coronoid process mandibular notch ramus angle body
dental alveolar joints
teeth
movements of the mandible
elevation depression protraction retraction lateral gliding combinations
muscles
temporalis masseter medial pterygoid lateral pterygoid digastric mylohyoid genohyoid omohyoid
ligaments
medial collateral (spenomandibular and stylomandibular)
lateral collateral (temporomandibular)
retrodiscal lamina
fibrocartilagenous disc
TMJ joints
superior joint cavity
inferior joint cavity
muscles of mandible elevation
masseter
temporalis
medial pterygoid
muscles of mandible depression
geniohyoid
mylohyoid
stylohyoid
digastric
muscles of mandible protrusion
lateral and medial pterygoid (bilaterally)
masseter
muscles of mandible retraction
temporalis
digastric
muscles of lateral excursion
ipsil: temporalis and masseter
contra: pterygoids
kinetics
TMJ, teeth and c-spine are intimately related
cervical posture affects mandibular path of closure
- FHP=posterior occlusion
- retracted c-spine= anterior occlusion
forward head posture link
increases passive tension of
- suprahyoid
- infrahyoid
pulls mandible:
-inferiorly and posteriorly
early phase kinematics
first 50% of ROM
20-25 mm opening
rotation in inferior joint space
increase tension in oblique portion of lateral ligament
-transition to late phase
late phase kinematics
last 50% of ROM
last 20-25 mm of opening
anterior translation in superior joint space
increase tension in superior retrodiscal lamina
closing
- reverse of opening
- *also 2 phases
posterior translation in superior joint space
-disc pulled back by tension in superior retrodiscal lamina, posterior fibers of temporal is; controlled by eccentric lateral pterygoid
rotation in inferior joint space
-muscles of mastication
