Q

How is the growth of the TMJ different from long bones in the body?

19
Q

articular disc of elderly adult

20
Q

What is the retrodiscal connective tissue (bilaminar zone) made of?

A

collagen and elastic fibrous connective tissue, fat cells, and is highly vascular

21
Q

What do the elastic fibers of the bilaminar zone of the TMJ insert into?

A

petrotympanic fissure

22
Q
A

Retrodiscal Connective Tissue (a.k.a. bilaminar zone)

23
Q

The TMJ synovial membrane consists of what layers?

A
  • fibrous capsule
  • vascular subintima
  • intimal layer
24
Q

What does anterior dislocation of the disc do to the position of TMJ?

A

The disc is attached to the medial and lateral surfaces of the condyle, but not the temporal bone. Thus, when the mandible moves, the disc moves as well, traveling over the anterior surface of the articular fossa.

25
Q

What two cell type are in the intimal layer of the TMJ?

A
  • Type A synovial cells
  • Type B synovial cells
26
Q

What is a type A synovial cell?

A

Macrophage-like cells that exhibit phagocytic functions and are capable of producing inflammatory cytokines

27
Q

What are type B synovial cells?

A

Fibroblast-like cells that synthesize hyaluronate which is a major component of the synovial fluid in both the superior and inferior compartments of the joint

28
Q

What causes inflammatory joint disease in the TMJ?

A
  • Chronic or acute joint trauma may cause the Type A synovial cells
    to undergo a syncytial transformation into multinucleated
    giant cells that exhibit osteoclastic-like functions
  • the articular surfaces, including the joint meniscus, are subjected to cellular mediated surface resorption
29
Q

What can happen in inflammation of TMJ is sufficient intensity and duration?

A

bone are cartilagte resorb in the condylar head and condylar neck

30
Q
A

TMJ inflammation

31
Q

What is internal derangment of the TMJ?

A

the disc is trapped in the antero-medial position, causing limited opening, pain, and “clicking” upon opening

32
Q

What can be seen in arthritic degeneration of the TMJ?

A
  • osteophytes are noted on
    the condylar heads
  • decreased vascularity is found in the retrodiscal area, leading to pain on function
33
Q

What can Ankylosis Resulting From Untreated Fracture lead to?

A

Loss of articular coverings and
synovial membranes, leading to
direct bone-to-bone fusion
