TMJ Classification/Diagnoses Flashcards

1
Q

ADD Definition

A
  • Articular Disc Displacement

- alteration in normal mechanics due to hypermobility can lead to internal derangement of the disc (4 phases)

Q

ADD: Phase 1

A
  • Lateral and medial ligs slightly elongated from repeated microtrauma
  • Disc slides medially during opening and reduces laterally when condyle moves back during closing
  • No joint sounds; pain free

Q

ADD: Phase 2

A
  • Lateral and medial lig elongation progressis and bilaminar tissues lengthen
  • disc migrates medially and anteriorly (stays there at rest when mouth is closed or when the freeway space is maintained)
  • During opening: condyle rides over post disc producing EARLY OPENING CLICK and reducing the condyle onto the disc
  • During Closing: condyle will luxate off the disc and LATE CLOSING CLICK will occur

Q

ADD: Phase 3

A
  • Significant overstretching of post and lat lig
  • disc deformed (more convex) and no longer sits on top of condyle
  • condyle rests on post, sup, lat position which retracts the lat and med capsules (causes shortening of capsule)
  • Lateral pterygoid shortens and becomes inactive
  • LATE OPENING CLICK
  • EARLY CLOSING CLICK

Q

ADD: Phase 4

A
  • No joint sounds
  • post lig completely stretched
  • condyle no longer on disc
  • mandibular head deformed from bone on bone
  • condyle rests in most sup, post position of mandibular fossa
  • Entrapment neuropathy (post lig can perforate)

Q

Systemic Inflammatory conditions

A
  • RA, gout, psoriatic arthritis, SLE, ankylosing spondylitis

- chronic inflam of capsule can–>adhesions & fibrosis–>limited/painful opening and lat deviation and facial deformity

Q

Capsular Fibrosis

A
  • unresolved local inflamm due to micro/macro trauma
  • chronic inflam–>shortening and fibrosis of capsule
  • limited opening and reduced lateral deviation to opposite side

18
Q

Body Chart:

Joint Hypermobility

A

Feeling of jaw going out of place

19
Q

Body Chart:

Dislocations

  • Inability to close mouth

- may or may not have pain

20
Q

Body Chart:

Degenerative conditions

A
  • primary complaint is joint noises

- Joint noise/crepitus at same points in ROM

21
Q

History:

ADD

A
  • initial trauma

- gradual onset that progresses to noises or intermittent locking

22
Q

History:

Systemic Inflammatory Conditions

A

Gradual/acute exacerbation of chronic condition

23
Q

History:

Capsular Fibrosis

A

follows history of prolonged capsulitis, prolonged immobilization or mandibular restriction, trauma, repetitive microtrauma or arthritis

24
Q

History:

Joint Hypermobility

A

may report catching when mouth opened making closing difficult

25
Q

History:

dislocation

A

may report catching or feeling jaw is going out of place due to trauma or over opening

26
Q

History:

Degenerative Conditions

A

End result of OA

27
Q

9 Points of Hypermobility

A
1/2: pinky extension >90*

  • protrusion limited with deviation to ipsilateral side
  • Lateral deviation limited to contralateral side
  • Palpable crepitus

Stage 1: non/min pn with #1, 2, &3 synovials
Stage 2: pn with #1, 2, 3 synovials
