17
Q

What structures can be affected with Joint Dysfunction?

A

18
Q

Joint Dysfunction mechanisms can be either _____ or ______trauma.

A
  • macrotrauma (acute)

- microtrauma (chronic)

19
Q

Joint Dysfunction can lead to muscle __________.

A

guarding

20
Q

What are the general findings with Group II (Disc Displacements) and Group III (Joint Dysfunctions)?

A
  • Preauricular pain commonly primary complaint.
  • Painful palpation of joint line.
  • Pain with tests that place compressive load on joint structures.
21
Q

DDWR

  • Audible and/or palpable ____________ (1/3 trials)
  • Is joint motion typically intact?

DDWOR

  • Report of ________ sensation with opening/closing?
  • Are there ROM limitations?
A
  • clicking
  • Yes, motion is typically intact.
  • catching
  • Yes, limitations in opening ROM.
22
Q

What are 2 pathomechanic deviations seen?

A
  • C-type curve

- S-type curve

23
Q

C-type Curve:

  • __________ displacement of a disc (ipsilaterally) without reduction or unilateral muscle hypomobility
  • Hypomobility of __________ joint.
A
  • Anterior

- Ipsilateral

24
Q

S-type Curve:

  • ________ imbalance or ________ displacement.
  • Condyle “______ ________ the disc”
A
  • muscular, medial

- walks around the disc

25
Q
  • Early deviation = _________

- Late deviation = ________/ tight __________

A
  • spasm

- capsulitis/tight capsule

26
Q

DDWR AND DDWOR

A

DDWR AND DDWOR

27
Q

Describe DDWR clicking and reciprocal clicking.

A

Clicking

  • Partial anterior displacement or dislocation of the disc in resting position.
  • Opening click indicates reduction of the disc as the mandibular condyle passes over the posterior border.

Reciprocal Clicking

  • Clicking occurs with closing
  • Condyle slips posteriorly over the anteriorly displaced disc.
28
Q

Describe DDWOR.

A
  • Disc is still anteriorly displaced like in DDWR, but the disc no longer reduces.
  • This can limit opening motion of the mouth.
  • Causes compression loading on retrodiscal lamina.
29
Q

OPEN LOCK, CLOSED LOCK, ARTHROPATHY

A

OPEN LOCK, CLOSED LOCK, ARTHROPATHY

30
Q

Describe an Open Lock at the TMJ.

A
  • The condyle moves over the anterior rim of the disc at max opening.
  • The condyle cannot move back past the disc and gets “stuck” in the open position.
31
Q

What muscles guard during an Open Lock?

A
  • Masseter

- Temporalis

32
Q

Describe a Closed Lock at the TMJ.

A
  • Involves a DDWOR.
  • Partial anterior displacement or dislocation of the disc.
  • Condyle unable to pass over the posterior border of the disc.
  • Cannot open mouth fully.
33
Q
  • Category III (Joint Dysfunctions) involve ____________ of the capsule, ligaments, retrodiscal tissue, and synovium.
  • What are the structural changes that can occur with Group III (Joint Dysfunction)?
A
  • inflammation

- degeneration, osteoarthritis, osteoarthrosis

34
Q

Does osteoarthrosis or osteoarthritis have an active inflammatory process?

A

Osteoarthritis
