what are the primary muscles of the TMJ
1) masseter
2) temporalis
3) medial pterygoid
4) lateral pterygoid
what muscles are innervated by the mandibular nerve
1) masseter
2) temporalis
3) medial pterygoid
4) lateral pterygoid
the mandibular nerve is a division of what cranial nerve
trigeminal = cranial nerve V
where does the mandibular nerve exit the skull
the foramen ovale
what components of the TMJ lack sensory innervation
synovial membrane and central part of articular disc
where are the pain fibers and mechanoreceptors located
the periphery of the disc, the capsule, lateral ligament, retrodiscal tissue
what does bilateral contraction of the masseter do
- elevates the mandible to bring the teeth into contact for effective grinding and crushing of food
- protrudes the mandible slightly
what does unilateral contraction of the masseter do
causes slighty ipsilateral excursion of the mandible
what are the two sets of fibers of the masseter
superficial and deep
where does the temporalis muscle lie
fills most of the concavity of the temporal fossa of the skull
what does bilateral contraction of the temporalis cause
elevation of the mandible (the oblique fibers elevate and retrude)
what does unilateral contraction of the temporalis cause
slighty ipsilateral excursion of the mandible
what two muscles of mastication have very similar line-of force and size
medial pterygoid and masseter
what does bilateral contraction of the medial pterygoid cause
elevates and protrudes the mandible
what does unilateral contraction of the medial pterygoid cause
effective contralateral excursion of the mandible
what are the divisions of the lateral pterygoid
superior and inferior head
explain the direction of the lateral pterygoid
traverses nearly horizontally to insert into the neck of the mandible at the pterygoid fossa, articular disc, and the capsule of the TMJ
where do the fibers of the superior head of the lateral pterygoid attach
into the medial wall of the capsule and relatively small portion to the medial side of the articular disc
activation of the superior head of the lateral pterygoid casues
an anterior-medial force on the capsule and disc
what does unliateral contraction of both heads of the lateral pterygoid cause
- contralateral excursion of the mandible
- rotates the ipsilateral condyle anterior-medially within the horizontal plane
what does bilateral contraction of both heads of the lateral pterygoid produce
strong protrusion of the mandible
how do the two heads of the lateral pterygoid effect closing and opening of the mouth
they have antagonistic roles inferior head is primary depressor of the mandible (especially during resisted opening of the mouth) and the superior head helps control the position of the disc and joint during elevation
what are the secondary muscles of mastication
suprahyoid and infrahypoid muscles
what are the suprahyoid muscles
digastrics, geniohyoid, mylohyoid and stylohyoid
where do the suprahyoid muscles attach
between th ebase of the cranium, the hyoid, and the mandible
where do the infrahyoid muscles attach
superiorly to the hyoid and inferiorly to the thyroid cartilage, sternum, and scapula
how do the infrahyoid and suprahyoid muscles work together
infrahyoid muscles stabilize hyoid bone while the suprahyoid muscles assist with depression of mandible
what other actions are the suprahyoid and infrahyoid muscles involved in
speech, tongue movement, swallowing, and controlling boluses of food prior to swallowing
opening of the mouth is performed primarily through contraction of which muscles
inferior head of lateral pterygoid and suprahyoid muscles
what muscels are primarily responsible for protrusion of the mandibular condyle
inferior head of the lateral pterygoid
what muscles have a rotation "force-couple" for the mandible
inferior head of the lateral pterygoid with the suprahyoid
when does the disc-and-condyle slide forward
during late phase of opening the mouth
what pulls the disc anteriorly
1) colalteral ligaments attaching the disc to the translating condyle
2) the increased intra-articular pressure created by activation of the inferior head of the lateral pterygoid
despite its attachment directly to the disc, which muscle is inactive while opening the mouth
the superior head of the lateral pterygoid
closing the mouth against resistance is performed primarily by which muscles
masseter
medial pterygoid
temporalis
what muscle retrudes the mandible during closing of the mouth
the oblique posterior fibers of temporalis
what direction is the mandible translated during retrusion
posterior-superior, helping to reseat the condyle in the fossa
describe the action of the superior head of the lateral pterygoid while the mouth is closing
acts eccentrically to create forward tension on the disc and neck of the mandible.... stabilizing and positioning the disc between the condyle and articular eminence
in addition to pain in the muscles and joint during movement, what are some additional symptoms included in TMD
joint sounds, reduced molar bite forces, limited ROM in mouth opening, tension headaches, joint locking, referred pain to face and scalp, nocturnal eruxism
what is nocturnal eruxism
teeth grinding while sleeping
