Cards

Term

Definition
TMJ more common in women
Term

 

 

 

 

 

systemic diseases of muscles such as polymyositis, dermatomyositis, hereditary myopathies

arthroscopy
Definition
a method of evaluating a joint involving the insertion of small cannulas along with a camera and instruments into a Y joint.
Term

pad of fibro cartilage or dense fibrous tissue present in some synovial joints

Term
condyle
Definition
articulates on medial pole during rotation on lateral pole during translation
Term
collateral (discal) ligaments
Definition
attaches posterior band of disc to the lateral and medial poles of the condyle.  A true ligament (collegenous connective tissue) that cannot stretch without deformation.  contains nerve and blood vessels
Term
CO  centric occlusion
Definition
position of mandible when teeth are at maximum intercuspation
Term
CR  centric relation
Definition
postition of mandible when condyle is uppermost position in glenoid fossa.  a reproducible and verifyable position.  muscle of mastication are at rest here.
Term
what is TMJ
Definition

a disorder where the articulation is  between the condyle of the mandible and glenoid fossa

 

a hinge joint with moveable socket.

gliding/translation and rotation movement

Term
what protects the tmj?>
Definition
fibrous connective tissue protects
Term
what is the primary innervation of TMJ
Definition
auriculotemporal nerve
Term
secondary innervation of tmj
Definition
deep temporal nerve and masseteric nerve
Term
ginglymoarthrodial movement
Definition
rotation and translation
Term
articular disc/ meniscus what space does disk divide>
Definition

upper superior joint and lower inferior joint space

 

compartments are filled with synovial fluid produced by synovial membrane which lines joint.

 

synovial fluid provides nourishment and lubrication of avascular structures. (disc and bone are avascular, no nerve fibers)

Term
what is the articular disc attached to>
Definition

lateral and medial aspects of the condyl

 

superior belly of lateral pterygoid muscle

 

joint capsule

Term
function of the disk
Definition

separate the forces resulting from rotation and translation

 

absorb shock

 

improve fit between bony surfaces

 

protect edges of articulating surfaces

 

distribute weigh over large area

 

spread synovial fluid

Term
hinge/rotating movement occurs where
Definition
hinge, rotation in lower compartment
Term
gliding/ translational movement occurs where
Definition
upper compartment glides
Term
muscles of mastication
Definition

masseter

temporalis

medial pterygoid

lateral pyerygoid

anterior digastric and myohyloids

Term
muscles used for closing or elevation
Definition
masseter, medial pterygoid and temporalis for closing/elevating movement.
Term
muscles used for opening or depressor movement
Definition

lateral pterygoid and anterior digastric

 

lateral active at different times

superior-seats articular disc on eminence

inferior-attached mandibular condyle and functions during opening (protrudes mandible)

Term
palpation
Definition
clinical evaluation used to determing if muscle spasms or muscle disfunction is occuring
Term
masseter is involved in elevation and closing, what is the origin and point of insertion
Definition

origin is zygoma

 

insertion: lateral coronoid, ramus angle

Term
medial pterygoid is involved in closing/elevation what is the origin and insertion
Definition

origin:  pterygoid plate, palatine, maxilla

 

insertion: medial ramus-angle

Term
the temporalis is active in closing/elevation what is the origin and insertion
Definition

origin: temporal bone

 

insertion: anteritor coronoid and ramus

Term
lateral pterygoid is resposible for protrusion of mandible, a rotary motion pulls the disc forward.  what is the origin and insertion
Definition

origin: inferior head-lateral pterygoid plate

superior head-sphenoid

 

insertion: neck of condyle and capsule

Term
what are the phases of jaw movement
Definition

begins at rest

rotation 1st of the hinge/ condyle

anterior translation/ sliding

during translation the disk moves more posterior in relation to the condyle

Term
TMJ is often associated with these conditions
Definition
depression, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic fatigue, chronic headaches, fibromyalgia, sleep disturbances, irritable bowel syndrome
Term
types of trauma
Definition

direct-assault

 

indirect-whiplash

 

secondary to parafunctional habits like bruxism, clenching

Term
causes of TMJ
Definition

trauma

 

stress/psychosocial factors

 

growth disorders condylar hypoplasia/hyperplasia

 

systemic conditions like rheumatoid arthritis

 

iatrogenic

Term
3 cardinal signs of TMJ
Definition

orofacial pain

 

joint noise

 

restricted jaw function

Term

internal derangement

disc displacement with reduction

 

Definition

 

disk is displaced anteriorly and returns to normal position on opening of mough of movement away from affected side.

Term

Internal derangement

disc displacement without reduction

Definition

displaced disk is an obstacle to the sliding condyle

 

intermittent jaw locking

 

stiffness in morning

Term

this pain accounts for 50% of TMJ patients

most commonly affects masseter muscles

characterized as dysfunctional muscle hyperactivity with pain, tenderness, malocclusion

Definition
myofascial pain
Term
ankylosis
Definition

immobility of condyle due to fibrous or bony union between articulating structures.

 

joint infection after trauma accounts for 50% of tmj ankylosis

30% result from trauma without infection

Term
most common type of ankylosis tmj
Definition

fibrotic intra articular

 

it is trauma induced hemorrhage is common cause

 

children more prone to this

Term

when one or both of the condyls translates anterior to articular eminence an open lock happens.

 

what is the term for this?

 

key: to fix problem apply downward and posterior pressure

Definition
dislocation
Term
hypermobility where pt is able to relocate the mandible back into glenoid fossa
Definition
subluxation
Term
arthritis
Definition

inflammation of a joint

 

it can be either osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis

Term

degenerative joint disease

 

most common affecting TMJ

dysfunctional articular remodeling leads to degenerative changes

 

may have pain worse at night, limited opening, muscle splinting, and crepitus.

Definition
osteoarthritis
Term

inflammatory, immunologic disorder of joints

 

50-75% with rheumatoid arthritis have involvment of TMJ

 

pain is worse in morning.

Definition
rheumatoid arthritis
Term
blunt trauma
Definition

chin-tmj

 

falling as a child can stunt condyle and lead to micrognathia or TMJ issues

Term
fracture trauma
Definition

condylar fracture impacts function of tmj

 

max and mand fractures traumatic or surgical can create occlusal disharmony and lead to tmj issues

Term

neoplasia and tmj

 

tumors are rare what are some?

Definition

osteoblastoma

chondroblastoma

osteoma

Term
synovial chondromatosis
Definition

most common benign neoplasm of synovium

 

metaplastic highly cellular cartilagous foci in synovial membrane

 

degenerative changes with osteoarthritis

 

swelling, pain, limited movement

Term
nonsurgical therapy
Definition

phase 1:  physical therapy, soft diet, medications nsaids, muscle relaxants, botulinium toxin

 

occlusal adjustments, ortho

 

phase 2: occlusal appliances, botox b has been used to treat sever bruxism by providing muscle relaxation and capsule inflammation

 

 

Term
arthrocentisis
Definition

minimally invasive

lavage joint with needle

releases disk and adhesions and reduces viscosity of synovial fluid and washes out inflammatory mediators.

 

83% success rate

Term
arthrotomy open joint surgery
Definition

disk repositioning, replacement or excission

recontouring articular surfaces of condyle and glenoid fossa

total joing reconstruction (prosthetic device or autogenous graft)

Term
