Q

What is the difference between the TMJ and knee joint?

A

The articular surfaces of the TMJ are covered by fibrocartilage, but the articular surfaces of the knee are covered by hyaline cartilage. Both have a meniscus/disc, and synovial fluid

Q

What is the attachment and function of the lateral pterygoid?

A

insertion = attaches to the articular disc and condyle

function = superior division pulls disc forward, and assists in closing the jaw (holds dic on condyle)

function = inferior division protrudes and depresses the mandible, deviates jaw to the OPPOSITE side

Q

What does treatment of TMD involve?

A
  1. Orthopedic appliances
  2. Behavioral therapy
  3. TMJ Surgery
18
Q

What causes trauma to TMJ and masticatory muscles?

A

Grinding or clenching teeth (Dental procedures, sports/ injuries, motor vehicle accidents)

19
Q

When screening for TMD what questions should you ask the patient if they experience?

A
  1. difficulty or pain with pain with mouth opening
  2. jaw locking/sticking/jaw going out of joint
  3. pain with chewing, talking, or using jaw
  4. jaw joint noises
  5. stiffness, tightness, or tiredness in the jaw
  6. pain in or near the ears/ temple / cheeks
  7. frequent headeaches/ neck aches or tooth aches
  8. recent changes in bite
  9. recent injury to the jaw neck or head
  10. past treatment for facial pain or a jaw joint problem
20
Q

What is the normal ROM for opening and lateral motions?

A

normal opening = 40-60 mm

lateral motion = 9-12 mm

21
Q

What is the difference between disc displacement with and without reduction?

A

Disc displacement WITH reduction = mandible shifts to the side of the dic interference, then returns to a centered position, at maximum opening after dic reduction occurs

Disc displacement WITHOUT reduction = the mandible is continuously displaced and does NOT return to center; limited opening

22
Q

In a muscle palpation exam, how is pain related and what does it mean if the pain spreads out?

A

0= no pain
3= severe pain

Referred pain/ myofacial pain, document where the patient points that pain is spreading to.

23
Q

What should you palpate in an extra oral exam for TMD?

A

temporalis and superior masseter

24
Q

What should you palpate in an intraoral exam for TMD?

A

medial & lateral pterygoid and temporalis tendon

25
What intraoral evidence of parafunction might you see?
1. linea alba 2. scalloped tongue 3. attrition
26
Cranial nerve function test: 1. olfactory - 2. optic - 3. ocular motor - 4. trochear - 5. trigeminal 6. abducens 7. facial 8. vestibulochochear 9. glossopharyngeal 10. vagus 11. accessory 12. hypoglossal
1. olfactory - test smell with cinnamon or vanilla 2. optic - test vision one eye at a time 3. ocular motor - reactive to light, ptosis 4. trochear - check for lateral gaze movement 5. trigeminal - sensory: q-tip for non-noxious and needle prick for noxious motor: ask patient to clench and feel for symmetry 6. abducens- nystagmus oscillations 7. facial- frown, smile, etc. 8. vestibulochochear- no example given 9. glossopharyngeal- gag reflex 10. vagus- look for elevated uvula in palate when saying "ahh" 11. accessory- hands on shoulders and shrug, turn head side to side 12. hypoglossal - does tongue protrude straight?
27
Imaging techniques for hard tissue:
1. Pano 2. CBCT 3. MDCT
28
Imaging techniques for soft tissue:
1. MRI 2. Arhtrography 3. Ultrasound
29
Imaging techniques for metabolic activity:
1. nuclear medicine 2. PET CT
30
The lateral aspect of the condyle is best shown in what view for 2D radiography?
Transcranial
31
Advantages/ Disadvantages of CBCT for evaluation of TMJ:
Advantages= lower dose than MD CT and CT Disadvantage= does NOT show soft tissue, so cannot visualize location of disc
32
Advantage/ Disadvantage of MRI for evaluation of TMJ? Contraindication?
ADV: No ionizing radiation, best soft tissue imaging DIS: Cost, 15-25% false positive finding of disc perforation, No greater accuracy for detecting disc displacement without reduction. CONTRA: implantable cardiac pacemaker
33
What is a contraindication of MRI for evaluation of TMJ?
implantable cardiac pacemaker
34
How is arthrography used for TMJ? Advantages/ Disadvantages?
Dye/ contrast medium is injected into synovial space. Used to detect perforations/ tears in articular disc (as seen in osteoarthritis), ADV: indicated prior to joint lavage DIS: Ionizing radiation, invasive, uncomfortable
35
How is nuclear medicine used for TMJ?
Radioisotope like gallium is injected into patients veins. Gamma camera takes images where radioisotope has collected in areas of rapid bone turnover (10% increase of osteoblastic activity) DIS: Expensive, invasive and not specific to any ONE disease
36
What is a PET-CT?
Combination of nuclear medicine and MD-CT. DIS: Higher dose and cost
37
What is aplasia?
Faulty/incomplete development of cranial bones or mandible. - congenital - rare - usually effects ear
38
What is hypoplasia? Examples?
Congenital or acquired underdeveloped cranial bones or mandible. Growth is normal but proportionally reduced. Examples = 1. Treacher- collins syndrome 2. Mandiublar hypoplasia (congenital) 3. Condylar hypoplasia (congenital or acquired - trauma)
39
What is hyperplasia? Examples?
Congenital or acquired overdevelopment due to the increase in the number of normal cells. Examples: 1. Condylar Hyperplasia 2. Mandibular Hyperplasia (tx osteotomy) 3. Coronoid hyperplasia
40
What is neoplasia? What imaging is best to see this? Examples? How can we discern benign from malignant?
Uncontrolled growth of abnormal tissue. Imaging: Nuclear medicine Examples: 1. Fibrous dysplasia 2. Osteochondroma Benign vs. Malignant: Examine the cortical outline of mandible to discern benign from malignant. Malignant destroys the bony margin, but benign does NOT.
41
What is subluxation?
Subluxation is the partial condylar dislocation during wide mouth opening. But the patient can close voluntarily with a pop/click. Condyle is ANTERIOR to eminence. Caused by anatomy, habit, trauma
