Articulação temporomandibular: da anatomia ao desarranjo interno

Abstract

Resumo A articulação temporomandibular pode ser afetada por diversas afecções, como disfunções articulares, alterações degenerativas, doenças inflamatórias ou infecciosas, tumores e trauma. Este ensaio iconográfico visa auxiliar de forma prática o radiologista a identificar e descrever os principais achados nos exames de ressonância magnética da articulação temporomandibular, tendo em vista que o diagnóstico correto das alterações mais comuns é essencial para o tratamento adequado desses pacientes.

The use of Qigong and Tai Chi in the management of temporomandibular joint dysfunction: A systematic review

“…There are multiple factors (such as degenerative changes, inflammation, infective process, neoplasm, trauma, stress, and muscle tension) responsible for TMJ's functional impairments. 1 , 3 , 4 , 5 Trismus is one of the clinical features of TMJ disorders, and this could be aggravated by a variety of factors such as radiotherapy, reduced nutrition, and compromised oral health. 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 Other clinical features of TMJ disorder include clicking and/or crepitus in the joint during function, pain, and joint immobility.…”

“…The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a complex diarthrodial joint that is formed by the articulation of the squamous part of temporal bone and the mandibular condyle and it is interposed by a fibrocartilaginous TMJ disc. 1 The TMJ is unique structure in the articulatory system which is functionally adapted to perform a wide range of movements. 2 However, changes in the movement of the joint can occur as a result of conditions such as joint dysfunction, degenerative changes, inflammation, infective process, neoplasm, trauma, stress, and muscle tension, which could manifest as jaw pain, limitation in jaw movement, stiffness of the jaw, and clicking or popping in the joint.…”
