À propos de ce fichier

This flashcard set is designed for university-level medical students focusing on head and neck anatomy, particularly the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). It covers key structures like ligaments, the joint disc, and the temporal bone, as well as common issues such as TMD symptoms, joint movements, and associated pain. Students and professionals in dental or medical fields will find this set valuable for understanding the complexities of the TMJ and its clinical relevance.

What are the 3 portions of the temproal bone and which portion makes up the TMJ?

Commandes clavier:

= tourner,

= avant/arrière,

= faire défiler

Squamous portion
Petrous portion
Tympanic portion: makes up the TMJ

Where does the temporal bone articualte with the mandible? Where does the mandible articulate with the temporal bone?

Commandes clavier:

= tourner,

= avant/arrière,

= faire défiler

Articular eminence and the articular fossa
Head of the condyle

This completely encloses the TMJ.

Commandes clavier:

= tourner,

= avant/arrière,

= faire défiler

Joint capsule

This is located between the articular eminence and the condyle.

Commandes clavier:

= tourner,

= avant/arrière,

= faire défiler

Joint disc

These are formed by the joint and contain synovial fluid.

Commandes clavier:

= tourner,

= avant/arrière,

= faire défiler

Synovial cavities (2)

What are the 3 ligaments associated with the TMJ?

Commandes clavier:

= tourner,

= avant/arrière,

= faire défiler

TMJ ligament: reinforces the joint capsule and prevents retraction (on lateral side)
Sphenomandibular ligament: vestige of Meckel's cartilage. it become taught when jaw is protruded. It is a landmark for local anesthesia
Sthylomandibular ligament: formed from cervical fascia.

What are teh 2 movements of the TMJ?

Commandes clavier:

= tourner,

= avant/arrière,

= faire défiler

Gliding: occurs between the disc and the articular eminence of the temporal in the upper synocial cavity to produce protrusion and retraction
Rotation: occurs between the disc and the condlye in the lower synovial cavity accomplishing depression and elevation of the jaw.

What movements are accompanied with opening and closing the mouth?

Commandes clavier:

= tourner,

= avant/arrière,

= faire défiler

Opening: protrusion & depression
Closing: retraction & elevation

This is when the head of the condlye moves too far anterior on the articular eminence. It can involve either one or both sides. Occurs when opning too wide (i.e. prolonged dental work).

Commandes clavier:

= tourner,

= avant/arrière,

= faire défiler

Sublaxation

What are symptoms of TMD?

Commandes clavier:

= tourner,

= avant/arrière,

= faire défiler

Headaches not helped by migraine medication, especaially on rising or late in the afternoon
Facial pain
Ear pain or stuffiness in the absence of infection
Pain and/or sounds in the TMJ
Pain in the jaws, espeically when chewing or upon arising
Limited and/or painful jaw opening or deviation to one side when opening
A feeling that your bite is "off"
Persistent neck pain, especially at the base of the skull, following a motor vehivle or sports accident
Generlized tooth sensitivity, especially when chewing
