Dislocation of the temporomandibular joint

Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, Oral Radiology, and Endodontology, 2000
Summary Many treatment modalities are available for mitigation of pain and dysfunction of the habitually dislocating temporomandibular joint. In most cases, more conservative methods provide only temporary alleviation of symptoms, and recurrence is common. Surgical intervention has generally been considered the more effective definitive treatment. No

Physiology of the temporomandibular joint

Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, 1966
Abstract Clinical investigation has reasonably established that it is not abnormal for the condyle to move anterior to the eminence during mouth opening. The mechanism of temporomandibular joint dislocation has been explained as being the result of muscle incoordination and/or muscular spasm.

The temporomandibular joint—A diginglymus joint

The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1975
T i e temporomandibular joint is most commonly described in literature as a "ginglymo-arthrodial" joint. The ginglymus or hinge movement is attributed to the lower compartment and the arthrodial or gliding movement to the upper compartment. This widely prevalent view is espoused by many authors 11'' of journal articles and in most textbooks ...

Lubrication of the Temporomandibular Joint

Annals of Biomedical Engineering, 2007
Although tissue engineering of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) structures is in its infancy, tissue engineering provides the revolutionary possibility for treatment of temporomandibular disorders (TMDs). Recently, several reviews have provided a summary of knowledge of TMJ structure and function at the biochemical, cellular, or mechanical level for ...

Surgery of the temporomandibular joint

The American Journal of Surgery, 1958
Subluxation [2] of the temporomandibular joint may be defined as that condition of derangement of the joint short of disIocation and unassociated with organic disease, aIthough it may occasionaIIy be due to an extra-articuIar factor. The aetioIogica1 factors of subIuxation are stiI1 IargeIy a matter of conjecture. In many instances there is no apparent

Temporomandibular joint clicking

Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, 1971
Abstract In cases of myofascial pain and dysfunction, in which the condition is physiologically reversible, the purpose of treatment is to reintroduce synchronization of the moving parts of the temporomandibular joint, and of the parts that move the joint, in order to eliminate abnormal pressures. There will then be a proper relationship between disc,
