Define TMJ (Temporomandibular Dysfunction)
Describe the role of the temporal bone in TMJ
Define approaches to treatment of TMJ in Osteopathy in the Cranial
field
Define Counterstrain Points associated with TMJ
MUSCLES
Lateral Pterygoid Muscle
Medial Pterygoid Muscle

Tony, an otherwise healthy 22-year old
male presents with left sided ear pain of
4 weeks’ duration after biting into an
apple & feeling his jaw ‘pop’
Seen at the ER that night, as his jaw hurt
immediately
Told he had ‘TGM’ or something & was
treated symptomatically
•
•
•
•
•
PMHx – none
PSHx – none
All – penicillin
Meds – none
Social – single, no children, lives in
graduate dorm, binge ETOH &
tobacco use; won’t admit nor deny
marijuana use, but denies anything
“heavier”

Depression (opening of the mouth from rest)



Elevation (closing of the mouth to rest)
Protrusion (carrying the mandible forwards from rest)


head anteriorly, disc posteriorly
Retraction (carrying the mandible back to rest)


Head and articular disc move anteriorly
Head posteriorly, disc anteriorly
Small amount of lateral movement (side-to-side movement from the rest
position) bc of pterygoids
•
Smooth, normal motion is a
blending:
–
–
–
–
Muscular contraction on
mandible
Ligamentous tension
Contraction, or lack thereof,
by lateral pterygoid
Gravitational and structural
forces acting on cranium and
mandible


TMJ is a synovial joint, formed by
the mandibular condyle in the
fossa in the temporal bone
Different from other synovial joints
in that it:



Formed from membrane (vs.
endochrondron and therefore has no
hyaline cartilage)
Lined by fibrous tissue
Joint cavity is divided into 2 by an
intra-articular disc
•
•
•
This division by the disc means that
there are actually two joints on each
side:
– One between the ramus of the
mandible and the articular disc
– Another between the disc and the
temporal bone fossa
During low-load opening activities
(talking, gentle chewing) the motion is
confined to the first
During high opening activities
(Eating/Yawning )the motion involves
the second joint – this is usually when
/ where dysfunction occurs

The stylomandibular ligament – purpose
of the ligament is unknown

Stylohyoid ligament provides attachment
to the superior fibers of the middle
pharyngeal constrictor and is closely
related to the oral pharynx
Lateral ligament helps strengthen the
capsule


Upper Head originates on the Greater Wing
of the Sphenoid


Lower Head of lateral pterygoid originates
on the Lateral pterygoid plate



Upper head attaches to disc
Lower head attaches to mandible
Together, they coordinate opening & closing
of the mandible with the articular disc
Also helps with protrusion and lateral
deviation




Temporalis – anterior fibers elevate,
posterior retract
Medial Pterygoid – elevates the mandible
& helps with lateral & protrusive
movements
Digastric – depresses the mandible
Mylohyoid – depresses mandible when
hyoid fixed
•
•
Masseter – elevates the mandible
3 points of attachment:
– Superficial part from zygomatic process of the
maxilla & from the anterior 2/3 of lower
border of the zygomatic arch
– Middle part from the deep surface of the
anterior 2/3 of the zygomatic arch & from the
lower border of the posterior one-third of the
arch
– Deep part arises from the deep surface of the
zygomatic arch


Really, really involved…more than
we’ll go into depth here without
more anatomy
Note approximation of arterial and
nervous supply in area of TMJ





Pain & clicking with mandibular
motion
Tenderness to palpation over TM
joint
Lateral pterygoid draws disc and
mandible anteriorly with opening
 when tight, prevents posterior
motion of both
Anteriorly displaced mandible – ↓
closing
Posteriorly displaced mandible –
↓opening
•
Smooth, normal motion is a
blending:
Muscular contraction on
mandible
– Ligamentous tension
– Contraction, or lack thereof,
by lateral pterygoid
– Gravitational and structural
forces acting on cranium and
mandible
–

Jaw Opening - 40-50 mm


Side to Side (lateral motion) - 8 mm



Gravity alone can cause 15mm of depression
Due to pterygoids
Protrusion - 6-8mm
Retrusion- 3mm
Hot bilateral masseter & medial
pterygoid TPs with severe
hypertonicity.

Anteriorly displaced mandible – can’t
close well.
Posteriorly displaced mandible – can’t
open well.
Monitor pt’s TMJ with flats of fingers over
TMJ just anterior to the tragus while patient
opens & closes jaw.
Observe the mental area of the mandible
for deviation while you simultaneously
palpate the TMJs.
Similar in concept to open/closed facets…

Anteriorly displaced mandible – can’t close well. (more common)
Posteriorly displaced mandible – can’t open well.
Common TMJ problem:
anterior gliding motion of mandible is restricted
Ex: L TMJ restriction
R side works normally
causes deviation of
chin to L(restricted side)

Reevaluate motion of mandible to
see if technique effective.

pain. HA prompted spinal taps and a dx of aseptic meningitis. HA are
described as “everywhere,” and “nasty” all the time. Recent cervical

stenosis from a herniated disc at C5-6. Patient has seen multiple times
by several other physicians with minimal relief. She says, “Dr. _____,
you are my last hope.”

Tony’s jaw still hurts, but he can now close it
more easily and with less pain. You also notice
less deviation.
You instruct him to apply heat for 15-20 mins,
3x/day (you expect him to do this once daily,
maybe), and continue prn pain meds
He’ll follow up in 2 weeks & avoid any further
bar bets…oh yeah, and he says you’re “Pretty
cool – for a doc.”
