Temporomandibular joint





TMJ 1.  The temporomeniscal frenum 2.  The mandibular fossa 3.  Articular menisc

 

4. The articular tuber 5.  Superior articular cavity 6.  Anterior meniscal ligament 7.  Lateral pterygoid muscles 8.  External hearing duct 9.  The joint capsule 10.  Posterior meniscal ligament 11.  Mandibular condyle 12.  Inferior articular cavity 13.  The synovial membrane (Coendoz S. - 2000 - Lausanne) 

 

TMJ luxation

 

TMJ luxation/laxity- recommendations?

 

When you perform an extraction, and assistant has to hold the inferior arcade so as not to be







pushed too low and dislocate it partially.

 

 

The treatment should be performed with the patient's mouth not completely open.

 

Vocal rest, soft food as much as possible

 

Mento-cephalic bandage to keep the joint at rest. r est.

 

Anti-inflammatory medicines if the joint is painful- 2 weeks

 

Risk of relapse is still there

 

The patient shouldn't open the mouth too much because they will surely get a partial













dislocation.

 

Anatomy

 

Shape?

 

Vascularisation?

 

Synovial fluid- nutrients, lubricating fluids for the TMJ









 

Synovial fluid excess?

 

Lateral pterygoid muscle

 

Palpation- in the vestibule of the tuberosity- in the fornix

 

Pain?- muscle contraction

 

TMJ symptoms











1,2,3,4…

 

Conditions of TMJ pathology

 

Premature contacts,

 

Occlusion disorders,

 

Traumas,

 

Growth defects,

 

Ankylosis?- bone bridges,

 

Fillings quality- occlusion,

 

Prosthetic work quality.

















 



Conditions of TMJ pathology- patient’s tolerance 

 

 

Conditions of TMJ pathology- adapt mechanism

 

Premature contact- avoidance- chewing on the other ot her side

 

Overstressed area- pathological abrasions.

 

Occlusal trauma

 

Periodontal disease- gingival retraction- periodontal space expands- the lamina dura may











thicken- mobility

 

Algodysfunctional syndrome

 

The psychological state of the patient

 

The psychical pressure accumulated over the day- para-functions that reduce this adaptability.

 

ADS?

 

ADS- treatment











 

Persistent muscle damage, chronic c hronic inflammation induce mandibular hypomobility.

 

Treat the cause

 

Pain control- muscle relaxation

 

Mouthguard- disorientation- erase the previous engram and rest the muscles

 

Release the teeth from occlusion

 

Thermo-polymerizable acrylate- a smooth surface



 

Until the symptoms disappear- except eating period



 

ADS treatment- medication

 

25 milligrams amitriptyline- anxiolytic- patient’s tolerance 

 

Muscle relaxants- Midocalm, 50 to 400 milligram tablets

 

Start with 3x50 mg/day

 

TMJ pathology

 

Diagnosis and treatment are difficult by their complexity. 

 

3 main components- the dental arches, the t he muscles and the joint.

 

Meniscus damage is intracapsular damage.



























 

 

MRI- the articular disk.

 

Radiography- mouth closed/mouth open- compare the space- enlargement/narrowing

 

Inflammatory/degenerative Inflammatory/d egenerative pathology

 

Semiological expression of the disease occurs by breaking the balance

 

ADS pain

 

Pains in other areas- the frontal area, the retroauricular, the interscapular vertebral, the













shoulder, the submandibular areas hurt

 

Migraines

 

# trigeminal neuralgia

 

Palpation- the auditory duct

 

Alternatively









 

Opening and closing of the oral cavity- crackle vibrations v ibrations

 

Assessment of therapeutic conduct 





1.  Symptomatic treatments- for the acute phase  2.  Etiological Treatments- irreversible 

 

Etiological Treatments- irreversible

 

Selective polishing- premature contacts and improper occlusion



 

30-40 microns articulation paper- fine



 

! Vertical dimension

 

Only in the enamel

 

Orthodontic treatment

 

Secondary therapy 











It is a definitive therapy (Okeson Jeffrez P.)  1.  Gnatological treatment 2.  Pain treatment  3.  Psychotropic treatment 

 

4.  Functional treatment and kinetotherapy   5.  Infiltrative painkiller substances treatment   6.  Balneophysiotherapy  7.  Pharmacological treatment 

 

Mouth opening limitation- etiology 

 

1. Temporary constriction – trismus- reversible- inflammatory pathology, trauma 

 

2. Permanent constriction 

 

osteoarticular - articular









 



- extra-articular: vicious callus,

 

tumor causes, post-irradiation,

 

idiopathic coronoid hypertrophy





 



soft tissues - scarring folds (posttrauma- burns, surgery)

 

- calcified hematomas of the temporal muscle

 

- progressive osseous myositis





 



mixed - post traumatic sequelae

 

(CHU Grenoble - 1995)

Mouth opening limitation- etiology 

 

1. Temporary constriction - trismus 

 

2. Permanent constriction 

 

osteoarticular - articular











 



- extra-articular: vicious callus,

 

tumor causes, post-irradiation,

3. Temporo-mandibular ankylosis- no bone bridges, but bone blocks 

 

Trismus treatment

 

Myogimnastics- painful

 

Open the incisors area

 

Spoon, plug, syringe, cork stopper, spiral wood wedges - to the back area and front area

 

Clinic tmj disorders 

 

Oral cavity opening limitation treatment 

 

Surgery-last 

 

- kineto-therapeutic methods (active mobilization, myogymnastics, massage) 

 

- Mechanotherapy with prefabricated dental mouth gags, manufactured mobilizers, serial





















ones, and individual mobilizers 

 

Serial mobilizers

 

Improvised Mobilizers: Plug, washcloth, spiral wood cone, syringe, wedges

 

Prefabricated Mobilizers:

 

Pons-Martin – universal inflatable mouth gag

 

Lebedinski - elastic drive and indicator of the mouth opening amplitude

 

Heister - acts as a lever by activating a screw, rubber-coated arms.

 

Individual Mobilizers- manufactured in the dental office 

 

Benoist Mobilizer 

 

Darcissac Mobilizer 

 

Rahn-Boucher Mobilizer

 

Rigault Mobilizer 























 

 

Voreaux Mobilizer 

 

Principles of tmj individual mobilizers 





1.  Force’s support is made on large surfaces, equivalent to dental arches  2.  Active forces are located extraorally 3.  The action of the forces is continuous, through rubber rings 4.  The takeover and transmission of forces is performed by means of o f metal stems 5.  The end of the stems are ar e located in a vertically axial caudal than the m mandibular andibular axis ends 6.  The extremities of the mandible mandible stems lie in the sagitt sagittal al axis posterior than the extremities of the maxillary stems

 

Benoist's temporomandibular joint mobilizer 

 

Individual mobilizer, obtained in the prosthesis and oro-maxillofacial surgical laboratory, with a





wide range of applications and with multiple possibilities of modulation of active forces.

 

They act continuously as long as they are worn

 

Need of good compliance

 

Several times daily

 

Ptyalism- discomfort

 

Home therapy

 

Composition of the Benoist personalized mobilizer 













1.  Mouthguard with or without palatal plate   2.  The mandibular mouthguard  3.  A maxillary metal stem located vertically and median   4.  Two lateral and horizontal mandibular metal stems   5.  Hooks for anchoring rubber rings- coloured differently for each movement 

 

- unique 

 

- rigid 





 



- vertical direction

 

 

- median

 

- 5 anchoring points. 

 

- paired- one in on the right side and the other on the left side  

 

- they’re horizontal

 

- they’re parallel with the occlusal plan  

 

- they each present one attachment

 

- rigid 

 

The Benoist mobilizer- how it’s made 

















1.  Impression of the two arcades: 

# with standardized trays or with individual trays for each arcade  # with individual vestibular trays (cases with acute limitations of the mouth opening amplitude)  1.  Casting of hard plaster models  2.  Manufacture of acrylate (and palatal plate) mouth gags  3.  Modeling and fixing metal stems  4.  Applying retention hooks.

 



The Benoist mobilizer- how it’s made 

 

The splint- checked not to create any discomfort, adaptation- reduce the thickness so that it can be inserted by the patient, then the patient must be present when the stems are mounted so as not to injure the soft parts.

 

The maxillary stem should be mounted so as not to compress on the lower lip or for the horizontal ones not to cause discomfort to the oral commissures.

 

Application of the elastic bands.

 

The mobilizer’s clinical try in

 

Application of the mouthguards and checking the presence of congruences - corrections c orrections are





made if necessary 

 





 

Premature contact areas are eliminated  Checking the correctness of the direction and position of the metallic stems as well a ass a  

 

 

their relationship to facial soft parts  

 

Checking (correcting) the direction of extraoral forces action  

 

Extraoral forces dosage-pain-patient compliance 

 

The rubber rings action mode









1.  Between the extremity of the maxillary stem and the paracomissural mand mandibular ibular hooks = the

vertical opening force of the mouth   2.  Between the mandibular rod ends and the upper hooks of the maxillary rod = horizontal

protrusion forces of the mandible  3.  Between the ends of the mandibular rods and the distal third hooks of the maxillary rod=

oblique, combined, opening and protruding mandible forces  

 

Benoist mobilizers therapy

 

Daily exercises in 2 to 6 sessions; the duration of a working session is from 5-30 minutes 

 

The duration and number of sessions are continuously increasing 

 

Fatigue and muscle pain confirm the action of the device 

 

The intensity of the forces is increasing, from 50 g to over 300 g.  

 

Adjuvant Medication: Mydocalm 3x50 mg / day, Amitriptyline 2x25 mg / day and topical. 

 

Therapy evaluation

 

Clinically

 

measure the inter-incisal distance between the two upper and lower incisal edges, or between



















the upper and lower interdental papillas- before the treatment t reatment

 

Monitor the results

 

Check-ups every other week, or at the latest every week and a half

 

Motivate the patient

 

Record the results in the patient's file.

 

Mobilizers 











- Continuous force action  - Force direction can be modulated 

 

  - The intensity of the forces forces can be variable  - Individual adaptation is very good  - The treatment is accessible  - The action is i s physiological  - Device tolerance is very good   - It requires multiple stages of execution  - It can only be worn at home   - It produces sialorheea and ptialism   - The recovery time is relatively slow  - Wearing the device remains at the discretion of the patient 

 

Benoist mobilizers 

 

Conclusions 





1.  Surgical treatment of ankylosis and temporomandibular temporomandibular constriction should be complemented

by mobilizing devices.  2.  The Benoist type mobilizer proved to be the most appropriate for this purpose.  3.  The mode of action of this mobilizer is effective (extraoral elastic forces).   4.  Forces can be modulated according to clinical necessities and particularities.
