TMJ Flashcards
1
Q
Capsulitis/synovitis
A
- TTP at TMJ lateral condyle or posterior compartment
- Pain with biting on opposite side
- Pain with retrusion overpressure
- Pain with accessory motion testing
2
Q
Capsular Fibrosis
A
- limited AROM with mandibular dynamics
- Limited mobility with TMJ accessory motion tests
- No joint sounds
- Deviation of mandible with opening toward limited side
- History of trauma or surgery
- Dr B: chronic inflammation, trauma, immobilization, entrapped disc
3
Q
Masticatory Muscle Disorders
A
- No joint sounds
- Pain with palpation of muscles of mastication
- Inconsistent alterations in mandibular control
- Parafunctional oral behavior
- Pain with biting on same side of facial pain
- Commonly tendonitis of temporalis, overuse
4
Q
Hypermobility
A
- Excessive AROM with opening >40mm
- Joint sound at end range of opening
- Hypermobility with accessory motion testing
- Dr B: can be asymptomatic, collateralls loosen, hypothesized pre-cursor to disc displacement
5
Q
Anterior Disc Displacement with Reduction
A
- Reciprocal joint sound with opening/closing
- S curve with opening
- Full AROM (unless combined with capsulitis)
- Dr. B: laxity in collaterals and retrodiscal lamina
6
Q
Anterior Disc Displacement without Reduction
A
- History of joint sounds
- Limited opening <25mm if acute
- Deviation of mandible with opening toward limited side
7
Q
Osteoarthritis
A
- TMJ crepitus as noted with stethoscope
- Pain with TMJ palpation
- Radiographic evidence of osteoarthritis
8
Q
Movements of Mandible
A
- Elevation/Depression
- Protraction/Retraction
- Lateral gliding
- Combinations of above
9
Q
TMJ Ligaments
A
- Medial Collateral
- Lateral Collateral
- Fibrocartlaginous Disc
10
Q
Muscles in lateral excursion
A
- ipsalateral temporalis, massester
- contralateral medial/lateral pterygoid
11
Q
FHP =
A
posterior occlusion
12
Q
Retracted C-spine =
A
anterior occlusion
13
Q
FHP Links (2)
A
- Increased passive tension of suprahyoids, infrahyoids
- Pulls mandible inferiorly, posteriorly
14
Q
Early phase opening
A
- First 35-50% of ROM (first 20-25 mm)
- Rotation in inferior joint space
- Increased tension in oblique portion of lateral lig
15
Q
Late phase opening
A
- Last 50-65% of ROM (last 20-25mm)
- Anterior translation in superior joint space
- Increased tension in sup. retrodiscal lamina
