Q

Why is anterior disc displacement of the TMJ painful?

A

when the disc is pulled too far forward, the retrodiscal tissue (which is pain sensitive) gets compressed by the condyle while the disc gets stuck anteriorly

Q

What likely occurs when the jaw locks?

A

The articular disc is stuck anteriorly; the retrodiscal tissue is compressed in the glenoid fossa by the mandibular condyle. When the person tries to open their jaw again, the anteriorly displaced disc prevents the condyle from being able to move forward

Q

What is a “pseudo disc”?

Q

When the mouth is open wide, what will the state of the temporomandibular and sphenomandibular ligaments be?

Q

Which nerves innervate the TMJ?

A

auriculotemporal and masseteric branches of the mandibular nerve

22
Q

Gliding/sliding/translation movements occur in which part of the TMJ?

A

upper cavity

23
Q

Rotation/hinge movement occurs in which part of the TMJ?

A

lower cavity

24
Q

What is centric occlusion?

A

maximum contact of teeth (when you bite together)

25
Q

What is median occlusion?

A

the position where the teeth are fully interdigitated

26
Q

What does early clicking suggest?

A

a developing dysfunction

27
Q

What does late clicking suggest?

A

more likely a chronic problem

28
Q

Soft or popping clicks are caused by…

A

ligamentous movement, articular surface separation, sucking of loose tissue d/t muscle incoordination

29
Q

Hard crepitus or hard/cracking clicks are more likely to indicate…

A

pathology or joint surface defects

30
Q

Describe “reciprocal clicking”

A

early click on opening, late click on closing

31
Q

What occurs in phase 1 of mouth opening?

A

rotation

32
Q

What occurs in phase 2 of mouth opening?

A

translation and rotation

33
Q

When does phase 2 of mouth opening begin?

A

when tongue loses contact with roof of mouth

34
Q

If clicking occurring upon opening the jaw is eliminated by opening with the jaw protruded, and accentuated with retrusion, it is likely…

A

anterior disc displacement with reduction

35
Q

The thickest portion of the TMJ disc is the ___ band, and the thinnest is the ___ zone

A

posterior

intermediate zone

36
Q

With HFP, muscles like ___ and ___ are in some level of continuous tension

A

longus capitis and longus colli

37
Q

How does HFP affect the suprahyoids?

A

they are shortened d/t need to hyperextend the head to maintain ability to look ahead

38
Q

Which spinal segment can see compression with HFP?

A

C1-C2

39
Q

What are the 4 stages of TMJ syndrome?

A
  1. early incoordination (usually reversible but can result in degenerative changes)
  2. limitation phase (irreversible degeneration)
40
Q

What percentage of the population as TMJS?

A

20%

41
Q

Pain in fully opened position is likely a ____ problem.

Pain with biting firm objects is likely a _____ problem.

A

extra-articular

intra-articular

42
Q

What are the 3 cardinal S&S of TMJS?

A
  1. pain in TMJ affected by movement
  2. joint noise during movement
  3. restrictions/limitations during jaw movement
43
Q

On opening, the later a click occurs, the more ___

A

the more anteriorly the disc is displaced

44
Q

If the closing click occurs near the end of the closing pathway, it is likely d/t…

A

pull of the lateral pterygoid

45
Q

CLICKING is clinical evidence that:

This is more likely to occur in ___ joints.

A

the condyle is slipping over the disc and then self-reducing

hypermobile

46
Q

Crepitus in the TMJ suggests that…

A

there is DJD , perforation in the disc, that bone is rubbing together

47
Q

What is an adhesive click? Who does it appear in?

A

after periods of clenching - adhesions in superior/inferior limit translation or rotation, causing a temporary closed lock - then opens with a click

48
Q

If the jaw will not open from closed position, it is likely the disc is…

A

posterior or anteromedial to the condyle

49
Q

If the jaw will not close from opening, the disc or joint is likely…

There will likely be what clicking behaviour?

A

posteriorly displaced, or the joint subluxed

2 clicks on opening: 1 as the condyle moves over posterior rim, then when it moves over anterior rim.

50
Q

Functional dislocation with reduction will c/o:

A

occasional locking and limited opening, the jaw ‘catches’

51
Q

Functional dislocation without reduction will c/o:

A

closed lock, mandible deviates to affected side

52
Q

With the TMJ, you should always assess ___ first.

A

aROM of C/s
