Elevation of mandible
Protrusion of mandible
Lateral excursion [primary]

Lateral excursion [primary]
Actions of Digastrics
Depresses mandible at the beginning of the action with assistance from mylohyoid and geniohyoid
Anterior belly of digastric innervation and pharyngeal arch
PA 1 and mylohyoid branch of CN V
Posterior belly of digastric innervation and pharyngeal arch
PA 2 and digastric branch of CN VII
Action of Mylohyoid
Elevate hyoid bone and tongue. If other muscles are involved keeping hyoid bone fixed, then it depresses the mandible
What disorder makes up most of orofacial pain?
Headaches
What kind of pain in TMD?
Poorly localized and regional aching pain. Numbness and paresthesia. More psychological symptoms
Signs/symptoms of TMD
Decrease mandibular ROM
Functional limitation or deviation upon opening
Muscle and joint pain
Crepitus in joint
T or F: most joints become non-painful in 1-3 years
True
Term used to describe craniomandibular pain with significant myofascial component
Myofascial pain dysfunction syndrome
Autonomic phenomena associated with myofascial dysfunction
Vasoconstriction [blanching], coldness, sweating, hypersecretion, pilomotor response
Characteristics of myofascial dysfunction syndrome
Preauricular pain, muscle tenderness, joint clicking and popping, often unilateral, limitation of jaw movement
Hyperirritable spot within a taut band of skeletal muscle or fascia
Trigger point
Diffuse pain in a muscle from systemic disease, or spot tenderness of a muscle due to a trigger point
Myalgia
Pain, tenderness, other referred phenomena and the dysfunction attributed to myofascial trigger points
Myofasciitis
What muscle: Pain in the incisor and molar teeth of maxillary arch when biting down, sensitive to hot and cold temperatures
Temporalis
What muscle: Cheek pain described as sinusitis, pain in upper molars, pain in lower molars, pain over eyebrows, pain deep in ear with tinnitus. Also sensitive to percussion, pressure and hot and cold temperatures
Masseter
What muscle: Cheek pain similar to sinusitis, difficulty swallowing, earaches with tinnitus, itch, postnasal drip/sore throat
Lateral Pterygoid
What muscle: Cheek pain similar to sinusitis, difficulty swallowing, drooling in sleep, earaches with tinnitus, postnasal drip with sore throat
Medial Pterygoid
Most common trigger point location
Trapezius
What muscle: Pain at angle of jaw and temple regions, shoulder and middle of back, side of neck
Trapezius
