3. EVOLUTION OF TMJ
Primitive vertebrates
Collection of food led to dev of jaws along
with fins
Amphibians and reptiles
Greater demand on jaw mechanics to adjust
to new habitat
www.indiandentalacademy.com
4. EVOLUTION OF TMJ
increasing efficiency of the feeding
mechanism- critical factor in vertebrate
evolution
Earliest functional activity of TMJ
prehension
Control size of mass
of food entering
alimentary tract
www.indiandentalacademy.com
5. EVOLUTION OF TMJ
Mammals
Greater benefit from food source
Modification in jaws, joint, dentition
Humans
Upright posture / bipedal locomotion
Food collection shifted to jaws.

7. EVOLUTION OF TMJ
Relationship of primitive jaw and cranial base
AMPHISTYLIC SUSPENSION
upper jaw connected to cranium
Behind
eye
Hyomandibular
cartilage attached
to cranium
HYOSTYLIC SUSPENSION

Ascending ramus
increased height
Condyle oval
No articular eminence
Post glenoid process
Disc & capsule present
Masseter + temporalis
well dev
Lat pterygoid
Lateral movements
prominent
www.indiandentalacademy.com
14. Types of joints
Depending on the types of tissues involved
Fibrous joints
Cartilaginous joints
Synovial joints
www.indiandentalacademy.com
18. Synovial joints
Uniaxial/biaxial /multiaxial
Planar /ginglymoid /pivot/condyloid/saddle/ball and
socket
Hiltons law
Muscles acting upon a joint have same nerve supply
as joint
www.indiandentalacademy.com
35. Collateral (discal) ligament
Medial discal
Lateral discal
Divide joint medio laterally
allows passive movement
Permits anterior + posterior
rotation of disc on condyle
Blood vessels + nerves
proprioception
www.indiandentalacademy.com
36. Capsular ligament
Surrounds the TMJ
Retains synovial fluid
Resists medial ,lateral
inferior forces that
separate the
articulating surfaces
Nerves +
proprioception
www.indiandentalacademy.com
37. Temporomandibular ligament
Reinforces the lateral
aspect of capsular
ligament
Outer oblique portion
Inner horizontal
portion
OOP- Prevents
excessive dropping of
condyle / limits extent
of mouth opening
www.indiandentalacademy.com
IHP
38. Temporomandibular ligamentaction
• Limits rotational
opening
• Seen only in
humans – erect
posture
• Prevents damage
to submandibular /
retromandibular
structures
www.indiandentalacademy.com
39. Temporomandibular ligament
IHP Limits posterior
movement of
condyle and disc
Prevents damage
to the retrodiscal
tissue
www.indiandentalacademy.com
41. Stylomandibular ligament
Extends from the
styloid process to
the angle + post
border of ramus
Limits excessive
protrusive
movement
www.indiandentalacademy.com
45. The medial pterygoid
Origin & insertion
Function -
elevation
Protrusion
Muscle sling with Masseter
U/l - mediotrusive
www.indiandentalacademy.com
46. The lateral pterygoid- inferior
portion
Function-protrusion
Origin & insertion
U/l – mediotrusive
With depressors – downward+forward
www.indiandentalacademy.com
47. The lateral pterygoid- superior
portion
Infratemporal surface
of greater wing of
sphenoid – capsule
,disc ,neck
Active during
power stroke
Closure with
elevators
www.indiandentalacademy.com

Based on structure and function can be divided
into 2 systems
ONE JOINT SYSTEM
Condyle disc complex
Inferior joint
Tightly bound
cavity
Rotation
SECOND JOINT SYSTEM
Condyle disc with mandibular fossa
Superior
Not tightly bound
joint cavity
translation
www.indiandentalacademy.com
54. Biomechanics of TMJ
Articular disc as meniscus
1. Freely extends into the joint space
2. does not divide the joint cavity
3. Not a determinant of joint movement
www.indiandentalacademy.com
55. Biomechanics of TMJ
TMJ - no attachment
Yet stable due to muscles
Resting stage – tonus
Increase muscle activity - increase
interarticular pressure
Absence of pressure - dislocate
www.indiandentalacademy.com
56. Biomechanics of TMJ
Disc space varies with
pressure
Increased – disc space
narrows
Condyle on intermediate
zone
Decreased – space
widens
Condyle on anterior /
posterior zone
www.indiandentalacademy.com
57. Biomechanics of TMJ
Mandibular opening and closing
SRL –retract the
disc
Closed joint
position – relaxed
Stretched – during
opening
www.indiandentalacademy.com
58. Biomechanics of TMJ
Mandibular opening and closing
SLP – protractor of
the disc
Dual attachment
ILP – protractor of
condyle
SLP –active during
closure with elevators
opening
closing
www.indiandentalacademy.com
59. Biomechanics of TMJ
closed mouth resting position
SLP - tonus
SLP > SRL
Resting position-interarticular pressure
reduced,disc space wide. Disc rotated anteriorly
Condyle contacts intermediate & post zone
Open mouth –SRL stretches , SRL > SLP Disc
rotated posteriorly
www.indiandentalacademy.com
61. Biomechanics of TMJ
Power stroke / chewing
Resistance met on closure –pressure reduced on
biting side
Fulcrum around hard food
Pressure increased on contralateral side
Same side – separation – dislocation
SLP - active ,positions disc anteriorly on condyle
Stabilizes joint
Teeth approach intercuspation –pressure increases
Post rotation – intermediate zone-resting position
www.indiandentalacademy.com
62. Biomechanics of TMJ
Points to remember
1. Ligaments do not actively participate in
function of TMJ
2. Ligaments do not stretch
3. Articular surfaces must maintain constant
contact
