Maxilla
Term
If you do not have good articular eminence then your mandible will dislocate ___
Definition
Anteriorly
Term
What makes up the anterior portion of the articular disc?
Definition
Vascular and neural
Term
What makes up the posterior portion of the articular disc?
Definition
Vascular and neural
Term
What makes up the intermediate portion of the articular disc?
Definition
Aneural and avascular
Term
The articular disc roles to line up with the intermediate and THEN slides anteriorly, what happens if it slides anteriorly first?
Definition
Clicks/pops
Term
If TMJ is hypomobile on the R, then its tight on the ___ and there is a __ deviation
Definition
R
R
Term
A tight __ will change the biomechanics of the TMJ. You can have capsular adhesions that need to be treated with TMJ mobs
Definition
Capsule
Term
Name the 3 ligaments of the TMJ
Definition
Temporomandibular
Stylomandibular
Sphenomandibular
Term
These 2 ligaments are important with maximal opening
Definition
Spheno and stylomandibular
Term
This ligament forms the lateral wall
Definition
Temporomandibular
Term
If you open your mouth maximally, how many fingers should you be able to fit in?
Definition
2 1/2
Term
Is elevation of the TMJ opening or closing?
Definition
Closing
Term
Is depression of the TMJ opening or closing?
Definition
opening
Term
Name 5 movements of the TMJ.
Definition
Elevation
Depression
Protrusion
Retraction
Lateral Deviation
Term
This muscle serves to close the mouth and elevate the mandible. It also helps with retraction.
Definition
Temporalis
Term
This muscle protracts and elevates the mandible.
Definition
Masseter
Term
This muscle elevates the mandible
Definition
Medial Pterygoid
Term
This muscle bilaterally protrudes and elevates the mandible
Definition
Lateral Pterygoid
Term
This muscle helps keep the disc in place when opening and closing
Definition
Superior Lateral Pterygoid
Term
Name the 4 muscles that elevate the mandible.
Definition
Temporalis
Masseter
Medial pterygoid
Lateral pterygoid
Term
What does bruxism mean?
Definition
Clenching teeth
Term
Name 3 muscles that depress the mandible
Definition
Digastric
Mylohyoid
Geniohyoid
Term
Name 2 muscles that protrude
Definition
Lateral Pterygoid
Masseter
Term
What muscle does retraction?
Definition
Temporalis
Term
What muscle does lateral deviation?
Definition
Lateral pterygoid
Term
Should you have roll then glide or glide then roll?
Definition
Roll then glide
Term
2/3 of the movement lower joint (roll)
Definition
Rotation
Term
1/3 of movement upper joint (glide)
Definition
Translation
Term
Is hyper or hypo mobility easier to treat?
Definition
Hypomobility
Term
Defined as less than 20-25mm of opening
Definition
Hypomobility
Term
What is the most common cause of hypomobility?
Definition
capsular problem
Term
Name 3 causes of hypomobility
Definition
Immobilization (sx wire jaw shut)
Trauma to mandible
Post TMJ sx
Term
Name 3 treatment techniques for hypomobility
Definition
Restore accessory motion
Mobilization
Modalities to enhance
Term
Distraction
Distraction w/lat dev
Distract and ant. glide
Add protrusion after 11mm of opening
Definition
Hypomobility mobilization
Term
Name 3 aspects of the HEP for hypomobility
Definition
Tongue on palate
Open/close
Lat dev to L and R
Term
Greater than 40mm of opening
Definition
Subluxation
Term
With this, anterior dislocation may or may not reduce.
Definition
Hypermobility
Term
How do you treat subluxation?
Definition
Strengthen
Isometrics
Elevate, depress, lat dev
Do not strengthen protrusion b/c that enhances anterior translation
Term
What is the protocol for isometrics to treat hypermobility?
Definition
-5 second holds
-30 times/session (3 min/day)
-4 times/day (10 min/day)
-4 weeks minimum
-Even if symptoms stop prior to 4 wks
Term
-May use mouth splint at night
-Tongue on palate as open mouth
-Difficult to protrude jaw with tongue on palate
-Eliminate glide; all roll
Definition
Subluxation
Term
-With teeth together - disc sits anterior to condyle
-Clicks during opening (relocation of disc)
-More subtle click during closing (disc dislocates)
-May avoid click by lateral movement
-"s" curve
-If keep jaw in midline - will click
Definition
Anterior Dislocation -Reduces
Term
How do you treat anterior dislocation reduces?
Definition
-Intra-oral mouth appliance
-Reposition mandible to a more forward position
-Muscle re-education - tongue on palate (roll only)
-Progress to no tongue on palate - learn to control anterior translation
Term
-No joint noise
-Restricted opening - disc blocks translation
-May report - "used to pop" (chornic problems now acute)
Definition
Anterior Disc Dislocation - NO reduction
Term
Hypomobility vs. Anterior Disc Dislocation
Definition
-Differential Dx based on hx
-Capsule - trauma; no previous click
-Disc - previous click; no trauma
Term
How do you treat anterior disc dislocation?
Definition
-Attempt manual distraction and anterior glide to reduce
-May use modalities to relax ms
-Injection to relax
-Acute lock - 90% can be unlocked manually
-Then intra oral mouth appliance, etc
-Acute lock - 10% need sx
-Chronic lock - 60% will unlock with 6 wks of mobs
-Then intra oral mouth appliance, etc
-Chronic lock - 40% will need sx
