Study Notes
Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ)
- Two joints connecting the jawbone to the skull
- Bilateral synovial articulation
- Composed of the temporal bone and the mandible
- Functions as one unit
- Right and left joints must function together
TMJ Anatomy
- Capsule: Dense fibrous membrane surrounding the joint, incorporates the articular eminence, articular disc, and the neck of the mandibular condyle.
- Articular Disc: Unique feature, composed of dense fibrocartilage positioned between the mandibular condyle head and the temporal bone's glenoid fossa.
- Compartments: Disc divides the joint into upper and lower synovial cavities
- Synovial Fluid: Produced by the synovial membrane, fills the cavities and provides nutrients to the avascular central area of the disc.
- Posterior ligament and surrounding capsules have blood vessels and nerves.
- Central area is thinner but denser than the peripheral region.
TMJ Ligaments
- Three ligaments associated with the TMJ
- One major, and two minor
- Important for defining the mandible's movement's border.
- Limit the extent of mandible movements.
TMJ Disorders Etiological Factors
- Causes are complex and multifactorial
- Predisposing factors: Increase risk of TMD (Temporomandibular disorders)
- Initiating factors: Cause onset of TMD
- Perpetuating factors: Interfere with healing and/or enhance progression of TMD
- Common Factors: Bruxism, orthopedic instability, macrotrauma, microtrauma, joint laxity, exogenous estrogen, psychosocial factors like stress, and occlusion issues (overclosure).
TMJ Symptoms
- Pain or tenderness in the jaw
- Pain in one or both temporomandibular joints
- Aching pain around the ear
- Difficulty chewing or pain while chewing
- Aching facial pain
- Locking of the joint, making it difficult to open or close the mouth
- Clicking or grating sounds when opening the mouth or chewing.
TMJ Clinical Significance
- Differentiating pain originating within the joint from extra-articular structures is essential for successful treatment.
- Intra- and extra-articular structures can be involved simultaneously
TMJ Imaging
- Imaging can assist in the diagnosis of TMD, especially when history and physical exam findings are not definitive.
- Plain radiography (transcranial, transmaxillary, or panoramic)
- Computed tomography (CT) more beneficial for subtle bony morphology abnormalities
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) useful for comprehensive joint evaluation
- Ultrasound (US) helps assess internal derangements
TMJ Treatment
- Conservative therapies, including patient education, self-care, behavior modification, psychosocial interventions, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and muscle relaxants are often the first line
- Surgical intervention may be suggested for specific conditions like ankylosis.
- Other approaches might be arthroscopy, arthrocentesis, or condylotomy.
