TMJ
• TMJ
o Joint between mandible and temporal bone
o In chewing or speaking, it is only the mandible or lower jaw that moves;
o The upper jaw or maxilla remains stationary

• Articulation:
o condylar process of mandible
o Articular tubercle of temporal bone
o and mandibular fossa
Joint type Modified hinge-type
synovial joint

• Divided into 2 compartments: o Fibrocartilagenous disc
• Hence o Gliding movements
(protrusion and retrusion/retraction) occur in upper compartment
o Hinge movements (depression and elevation) occur in lower compartment

• Stabilized by three ligaments:
o Lateral temporomandibular ligament Lateral thickened parts of
articular capsule
Prevent posterior dislocation of joint

o Sphenomandibular ligament Primary passive support
Runs from spine of sphenoid to lingulae of mandible
Serves as swinging hinge and check ligament

o Stylomandibular ligament • Thickening of the capsule
of parotid gland
• Runs from styloid process to angle of mandible

MASTICATION
• Muscles of mastication:
o Derivatives of 1st pharyngeal arch
o Innervated by the mandibular division (v3)
o All supplied by branches of the maxillary artery

Recap
• Muscles of mastication:
o Temporalis
o Massetor
o Medial and lateral pterigoid

Chewing
• Lateral movements (grinding and chewing)
o Temporal of same side,
o pterygoids of opposite side,
o and masseter

Summary- dislocation
• Sometimes during yawning or taking a large bite, excessive contraction of the lateral pterygoids may cause the heads of the mandible to dislocate anteriorly (pass anterior to the articular tubercles) In this position, the mandible remains wide open and the person is unable to close.
