A

Articular disc

23
Q

Central depression in its lower surface:

  • accommodates the articular surface of the mandibular condyle.
  • developed as a mechanical response to pressure from the condyle as it rotates inside the anulus

A

Articular disc

25
Q

  1. Superior (discotemporal/ upper) space/cavity-
  2. Inferior (discomandibular / lower) space/cavity-
26
Q

Superior (discotemporal/upper) space/cavity/compartment

A

allows the head of the mandible to translocate forward (protrusion) onto the articular tubercle and backward (retraction) into the mandibular fossa.
• contains approximately 1.2 ml of synovial fluid

27
Q

allows mainly the rotation (hinge)-like depression and elevation of the mandible.
•contains approximately 0.9 ml of synovial fluid

A

• Inferior (discomandibular / lower) space/cavity/ compartment:

28

38
Q

39
Q

similar to that found in the superficial layers of the head of the condyle and the articular fossa, predominates in the disc.

A

• Principal glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in the intercelular matrix

Chondroid sulphate
Dermatan sulphate

41
Q

are very hydrophilic and, as such, play an important role in the resistance and distribution of compressive load applied to the temporomandibular joint.

A

GAGS

42
Q

principal articulating surfaces of the TM joint:

A

PArticular Eminence and preslenoid plane of the squamous temporal bone
•Anterior and Superior surfaces of the Mandibular
Condyle
•Both covered with fibrocertilage

43
Q

4 layers of the fibrocartilage covering the condyle

A

Superficial layer
• consists of densely packed fibers of type I collagen that is arranged mostly parallel to the articular surface and aligned in an anteroposterior direction (this can be seen as striation on arthroscopy).
• this covers a thin cellular layer, the proliferative zone that is continuous with the cambial layer of the periosteum beyond the margins of the joint.

• The third layer, of bypertrophic cartilage, is rich in intercellular matrix; it contains chondrocytes scattered throughout its depth, and randomly orientated fibers of collagen type lI.

•The fourth layer, immediately above the subchondrar bone, is the zone of calcification.
•Although the number of chondrocytes within the hypertrophic zone decreases with age, undifferentiated mesenchymal cells have been identified in postmortem specimens of all ages. This indicates that a capacity for proliferation and repair persists in condylar cartilage, and may be the reason why condylar remodelling occurs throughout life
