Q

Closing mm. for TMJ

A

temporalis
masseter
medial pterygoid
lateral pterygoid - pulls disc

23
Q

closing: mandibular condyle glide _________ as mandible goes __________

A

posterior ; anterior

24
Q

The Function of Lateral Deviation
mm.?

A

masseter
pterygoid -same side medial and lateral (primarily act to move mandible medial for grinding food)
temporalis

25
Q

S&S of TMJ Disorder:

A

Oral habit hx
Thumb sucking -overbite, change teeth position
Nail/ice biter - excessive compression force
Excessive teeth grinder -AM HA that goes away; if HA from neck it would get worse with ADL
Gum/smokeless tobacco chewer

26
Q

S&S of TMJ Disorder:
-Observation:
-_________ P! and/or __________
-Trigeminal S&S?

A

FHP
localized P!; crepitus
tinnitus, HA, toothache

27
Q

EARLIER deviation WITH loss of functional opening:

of capsular patterns?
acute w/recent trauma:

A

(2)
-deviation toward P!ful TMJ due to inflammation and willingness to move (ACUTE)

28
Q

EARLIER deviation WITH loss of functional opening

-chronic with fibrotic TMJ:

A

due to past trauma
-deviation away from hypermobile TMJ (click may happen @end range)
-accessory motion limited on side of deviation

29
Q

EARLIER deviation WITHOUT loss of functional opening

-hx of _______ resulting in ______
-minimal to no ______ unless ______
-deviation _________from ________ hypermobile side
-______ at end range hypermobile side indicates ____________

A

past trauma ; greater laxity
P! unless irritated
away from UNILATERAL
Click; larger displacement

30
Q

END RANGE deviation WITHOUT loss of functional opening

no ____ of trauma
minimal to no _____ unless irritated
gradual and less _______ developed BILATERALLY due _______

A

hx
P!
hypermobility ; FHP

31
Q

Click @ end range indicates ______________

A

larger displacement
-condyle + displacement has too much motion

32
Q

FHP influence
-increased tension and lengthening of:

A

digastric/hyoid mm. mouth opens
posterior elastic ligament

33
Q

FHP influence
-anterior mandibular condyle displacement to disc

A

excessive glide forward

34
Q

FHP influence:
- impaired ___________ of mm.

A

length tension

35
Q

FHP assessment:

A

opening in neutral and FHP should be the same
swallow in neutral and FHP; no excessive neck motion

36
Q

anterior displacement =

A

condyle ant. to the disc

37
Q

Hx of ant. displacement:

A

prolonged opening (FHP, mouth breather)
trauma w/sudden opening
excessive opening(yawning/dentistry)

38
Q

Ant. Displacement S&S:

A

full opening/nodeviation
likely P! and limitation on closing

39
Q

Ant. Displacement Rx:

A

distx w/ post. glide to reposition mandibular condyle post.

40
Q

Ant. displacement Rx: in hopes of reversing creep of capsule and ligament pt. should:

A

avoid wide opening with diet/yawning
correct posture
sleep with neck flexed and chin tucked

41
Q

TMJ MET focus:

A

stabilization of TMJ and neck

42
Q

Other clicks and signs of hypermobility: (3)

A

early clicking upon opening indicates - a small displacement

inconsistent clicking

reciprocal clicking (consistent) condyle moves ahead of the disc on opening and behind on closing

43
Q

crepitus =

A

TMJ and/or disc damage

44
Q

posterior displacement =

A

condyle posterior to the disc

45
Q

hx of post. displacement:

A

trauma w/ sudden closing

46
Q

S&S of post. displacement:

A

-likely P! and limitation on opening
-full closing

opposite of what creates the problem

47
Q

Posterior displacement Rx:

A

-distx with ant. glide to reposition mandibular condyle ant.
-sleep w/small neck roll for slight neck ext. and opening
-avoid excessive or hard chewing/grinding
