Ventilation & Mastication Flashcards
1
Q
Purpose of the fibrocartilaginous disc
A
- increases congruence and stability
- decreases contact pressure
2
Q
Describe the temporal mandibular joint structure
A
- forms the posterior attachment for the fibrocartilaginous disc
3
Q
Where does the fibrocartilaginious disc attach
A
- attaches to the superior and inferior parts of the retrodiscal lamina
- attaches to the mandible
- attaches to the anterior aspect of the condyle, lateral pterygoid, and articular eminence
4
Q
Describe protrusion
A
- anterior and inferior translation of the mandibular condyle
- push mandibular anteriorly
- mandibular condyle glides anteriorly on articular eminence
5
Q
Describe retrusion
A
- posterior and superior translation on of the mandibular condyle
- pull mandible posteriorly
- mandible glides posteriorly on articular eminence
6
Q
ROM for protrusion and retursion
A
Protrusion: 3-6 mm
Retrusion: 3-4 mm
7
Q
Describe lateral excursion
A
- ipslat. condyle becomes a pivot after translating posteriorly
- contralat. condyle glides anteriorly, inferior, and swings medially
8
Q
ROM for opening
A
- mandibular depression
- 35-50 mm
9
Q
Functional ROM for opening
A
- 25-35 mm
10
Q
Describe closing
A
- mandibular elevation
11
Q
Describe the movements of the mandibular condyle during opening
A
- 14 mm of anterior movement when fully open
- disc translate 70 mm anterior and inferior
12
Q
TMJ opening early phase
A
- first 35-50%
- mandible rolls posteriorly on disc
13
Q
TMJ opening late phase
A
- remainder
- disc & condyle translate anteriorly on the articular eminenece
14
Q
Describe the temporalis and masseter muscle actions
A
- bilaterally elevate mandible
- unilaterally excurse to the same side
15
Q
Describe muscle actions of temporalis
A
- retrudes the mandible
