INTRODUCTION
e temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the most used
joint in the body during daily activity. Every time one swallows,
chews, or speaks, the TMJ is in action. e TMJ is used approx­imately 1500 to 2000 times daily, excluding the parafunctions of clenching or bruxing.
Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is a collective term for multiple symptoms that aect the cranio-facial-mandibu­lar complex. e TMJ itself, the muscles of mastication, and other structures in the vicinity may all be involved. e cause of TMD is multifactorial, including (1) macrotrauma such as a whiplash injury, a direct blow to the jaw, or iatrogenic den­tal procedures; (2) microtrauma from parafunctional clenching and bruxing; (3) degenerative osteoarthritis (OA); (4) systemic conditions; or (5) mental health disorders. e clinical manifes­tations of TMDs include, but are not limited to, pain, limited mouth opening, joint noises, headaches, dizziness, neck symp­toms, earache, tinnitus, and swallowing diculty.
Epidemiological studies have shown that 50% to 75% of the population suer from one symptom of TMD at some time
1-4
in their lives.
Temporomandibular joint disorder aects peo­ple of all ages and sexes, from children to older adults (60 years and older), with a large preponderance (3 to 5 times more prev-
3,5-7
alent) of women around reproductive age.
Anastassaki et al1 conducted a retrospective survey of 3194 patients and reported that non-surgical treatments that included interocclusal appli­ances, jaw exercises, and selective occlusal adjustment were ef­fective in managing the vast majority of individuals with TMD. Some researchers have reported that symptoms of TMD may uctuate over time, may be remitting, are self-limiting, and the
7-9
progression to severe pain and dysfunction is rare,
suggest­ing that treatment for TMD is not necessary. However, many others have suggested that patients with TMD do not improve spontaneously, and that skilled treatment leads to signicant
10-12
improvement.
In recent years, research in this area has pro-
vided evidence that treatment for TMD is eective to reduce
13-15
symptoms and improve function.
We will discuss this evi-
dence throughout this monograph.
Historically (before 1980), TMD was managed by dentists using medication, occlusal adjustment, splinting, or bracing. Oral surgeons would perform surgery when indicated. Physical therapists were not part of the management team in the United States until the late 1970s, when Dr. Mariano Rocabado (San­tiago, Chile) introduced his method of physical therapy eval­uation and treatment. However, due to the continued lack of curriculum emphasis in this area, most physical therapists still are not entirely comfortable with managing TMD. But after almost 40 years of eort, the signicant clinical contribution of physical therapy in this niche patient population has been demonstrated, is supported through increased yet still limited research, and is recognized by the medical and dental profes­sions. rough this monograph, we hope to guide therapists unfamiliar with this topic toward contemporary competency in the management of TMD, and provide seasoned therapists with a more comprehensive, evidence-based approach to man­agement. It is the intent of the authors to present the TMJ as

with condence in providing care to this special patient popu­lation.
FUNCTIONAL ANATOMY
e TMJ is a bilateral diarthrodial joint that connects the temporal bone to the mandibular bone through a brocartilag­inous disk, ligaments, and enclosed joint capsule. e TMJ is a synovial joint, and therefore, possesses all the characteristics of any other synovial joint. It often is considered an extension of the spinal column due to its connection with the cervical spine via the skull. e TMJ is located in front of the external auditory meatus. It can be palpated by placing the index nger anterior to the tragus of the ear or using the tip of the small n­ger in the external auditory canal, while having the patient open and close the mouth. Palpation usually is performed bilaterally at the same time so the examiner can detect any dierences be­tween sides.
e TMJ has some special features, including (1) both the articular surfaces and the disk are covered with brocartilage that has superior reparative potential and resistance to wear and tear; (2) the disk divides the joint into superior and inferior cav­ities (or compartments); (3) during mouth opening, rotation of the condyle occurs in the inferior cavity and translation occurs in the superior cavity; (4) each TMJ has to function synchro­nously with the contralateral joint for daily oral function; and (5) dental occlusion can aect the kinematics of the TMJ.
Osseous Structures
e osseous structures of the TMJ (Figure 1) are part of two major bones: the temporal and the mandibular bones. e temporal component forms the roof of the TMJ. It is composed of the styloid process, the mandibular fossa, the articular emi­nence, and the articular tubercle. e temporal, frontal, pari­etal, zygomatic, and sphenoid bones all connect to the man­dibular fossa. e mandibular condyle is the oor of the TMJ. e condylar neck is the insertion site of the inferior bers of the lateral pterygoid muscle. e coronoid process, part of the mandibular ramus, is the attachment site of the temporalis mus­cle. e body of the mandible houses the mandibular teeth. e maxilla houses the maxillary teeth. In addition to the maxilla, mandible, and temporal bones, the zygomatic, sphenoid, and hyoid bones are all part of the TMJ complex.
The Temporomandibular Joint
e mandibular condyle lies within the mandibular fossa (of the temporal bone) to form the TMJ (Figure 2). A dense brocartilaginous disk separates the joint into superior and inferior cavities. e superior cavity is between the temporal fossa and the superior aspect of the disk. e inferior cavity is between the inferior aspect of the disk and the mandibular condyle. ese cavities are lled with synovial uid that main-

Osseous Structures of the Temporoman-
dibular Joint
tain the lubrication of the joint. e action of mouth opening and closing is the result of combined rotation of the mandibu­lar condyle (under the disk) in the inferior cavity and anterior translation of the disk and condyle (along the articular emi­nence) in the superior cavity.
The Disk and the Retrodiskal Pad
In the sagittal plane, the articular disk is bow-tie shaped to conform to the shape of the mandibular fossa and the mandib­ular condyle (Figure 2). e biconcave shape of the disk allows congruency of the TMJ when moving the jaw. e disk also provides lubrication to the articulating surfaces, transmits con­tact forces, stabilizes the joint, and endures long-term stresses. e high-density collagen bers that compose the disk tissue have the ability to withstand wear and tear and possess greater reparative potential than the hyaline cartilage found in other joints.
e disk can be subdivided in 3 portions: anterior, inter­mediate, and posterior. e anterior and posterior portions have neural innervation and vascular supply, in contrast to the inter­mediate portion, which is avascular and aneural and receives its
16
nutrition from the synovial uid.
e densest brous tissue of the intermediate portion serves as a pressure-bearing interface between the condylar head and articular eminence during TMJ movements. e anterior portion of the disk is attached to the superior condylar neck, the anterior capsule of the TMJ, the superior head of the lateral pterygoid muscle, and the temporal bone just anterior to the articular eminence. e medial and lateral portions of the disk attach to the medial and lateral poles

of the condylar head through the medial and lateral collater­al ligaments. e posterior portion of the disk attaches to the bilaminar connective tissue with the superior lamina attaching to the tympanic plate of the temporal bone and the inferior lamina attaching to the posterior margin of the articular surface of the condyle. e retrodiskal pad between the superior and inferior laminae contains nerve bers, blood vessels, and fat. Inammation in this area usually results in pain with palpation over the posterior aspect of the joint.
Capsular and Ligamentous Structures
Capsule
e entire TMJ is covered by capsular tissue. Superiorly, the capsule is attached to the border of the mandibular fossa and the articular eminence. Inferiorly, the capsule thickens into the medial and lateral collateral ligaments, which connect to the periphery of the disk before attaching to the medial and lateral poles of the condyle, respectively. Posteriorly, the cap­sule attaches to the bilaminar structure. Anteriorly, the capsule, along with part of the disk, attaches to the superior head of the lateral pterygoid muscle. e capsule provides stability to the TMJ. It is rm medially and laterally, yet loose anteriorly and posteriorly. Because of this arrangement, the joint is more mo­bile in the anterior-posterior direction, allowing the disk-con­dyle complex to translate during opening and closing of the mouth. Medial-lateral movement is more stabilized and limited
during the chewing function. e capsule is lined with a syno­vial membrane and receives its nutrition from the synovial uid. e capsule is also highly vascularized and innervated.
16,17
Ligaments
e temporomandibular ligament (also known as the lateral ligament) supports the lateral wall of the capsule. e supercial oblique bers of the ligament arise from the later­al surface of the articular tubercle and the zygomatic process and insert on the posterolateral surface of the condylar neck. e ligament’s function is to limit rotation of the condylar head during jaw opening. e deeper horizontal bers arise from the same area and insert on the lateral pole of the condyle (and the posterior disk). is structure limits posterior displacement of the condyle; therefore, it protects the retrodiskal pad.
e collateral ligaments attach to the medial and later­al borders of the disk and insert on the medial and the lateral poles of the condyle, respectively. eir function is to restrict excessive medial and lateral movements of the disk, so the disk is centered on top of the condyle and moves as a unit with the condyle in the anterior-posterior direction.
e accessory ligaments include the stylomandibular and sphenomandibular ligaments. e stylomandibular ligament goes from the styloid process to the mandibular angle. e sphenomandibular ligament goes from the spine of the sphe­noid bone to the middle surface of the inferior ramus. Both lig-

tion other than assisting in suspending the mandible from the cranium and preventing excessive protrusion of the mandible.
Muscles of Mastication
One of the major functions of the TMJ is chewing food. is action requires a combination of tearing, chopping, and grinding motions. Without coordination among all muscles of mastication and neural input, this function cannot be accom­plished.
Masseter muscle
e masseter is a strong muscle that functions as one of the major contributors to mastication. e supercial portion originates (proximally) from the anterior two-thirds of the zygomatic arch and inserts (distally) onto the lateral border of the mandibular angle. e smaller deep portion originates (proximally) from the posterior third of the zygomatic arch and inserts (distally) on the superior border of the mandibular ra­mus. Unilateral contraction of the masseter muscle causes slight lateral excursion to the same side, while bilateral contraction initiates elevation of the mandible with the potential to pro­duce sucient force to chew and grind harder food. Bilateral contraction of the supercial bers produces protrusion of the mandible, while bilateral contraction of the deep bers contrib­utes to retraction. e multiple functions of the masseter mus­cles provide eective mastication from the tearing of food by the central incisors of the maxillary and mandibular teeth and grinding with the back molars.
Temporalis muscle
e temporalis muscle is a large fan-shaped muscle that originates (proximally) from the entire temporal fossa and in­serts (distally) onto the coronoid process and the medial border of the mandibular ramus. Bilateral contraction of the tempora­lis muscle elevates and retracts the mandible, while unilateral contraction produces lateral excursion to the same side.
Medial pterygoid muscle
e medial pterygoid muscle has two heads. e deeper larger head originates (proximally) from the medial surface of the lateral pterygoid plate of the sphenoid bone. e super­cial smaller head originates (proximally) from a region of the tuberosity of the maxilla just superior-posterior to the third molar. Both heads of the medial pterygoid muscle insert (dis­tally) on the medial surface of the mandibular angle. Bilateral contraction of the medial pterygoid muscle produces elevation and protrusion of the mandible, while unilateral contraction produces contralateral excursion.
Lateral pterygoid muscle
e superior head of the lateral pterygoid muscle originates (proximally) from the greater wing of the sphenoid bone and
inserts (distally) on the anterior aspect of the disk, although there is disagreement as to the percentage of bers inserting on
17,18
the disk.
e inferior head of the lateral pterygoid muscle originates (proximally) from the lateral border of the lateral pterygoid plate of the sphenoid bone and inserts (distally) on the condylar neck. Unilateral contraction of the lateral ptery­goid muscle produces contralateral excursion. Bilateral contrac­tion of both superior and inferior heads of the lateral pterygoid muscles produces protrusion. e individual function of the inferior head of the lateral pterygoid muscle is depression of the mandible during mouth opening. However, the true func­tion of the superior head is still debated, with most researchers believing that due to its connection to the disk, it contracts ec­centrically during mouth closing to monitor disk position and avoid excessive anterior displacement.
16,17
Suprahyoid muscles
e suprahyoid muscles include the anterior and posterior belly of the digastric, mylohyoid, geniohyoid, and stylohyoid muscles. e anterior digastric muscle goes from the midline of the inferior mandible to the hyoid bone, while the posterior digastric muscle goes from the hyoid bone to the mastoid notch of the temporal bone. e mylohyoid muscle attaches from the mylohyoid line along the entire length of the inner mandible border to the hyoid bone. e geniohyoid muscle lies superior to the mylohyoid muscle and goes from the mandible to the hy­oid bone. e stylohyoid muscle goes from the styloid process to the hyoid bone. All suprahyoid muscles are responsible for depression and retrusion of the mandible during mouth open­ing, when the hyoid bone is xed.
Infrahyoid muscles
e infrahyoid muscles include the sternohyoid, sternot­hyroid, thyrohyoid, and omohyoid muscles. All these muscles originate at the inferior aspect of the hyoid bone and insert on the sternum, the thyroid cartilage, or the scapula. e infrahy­oid muscles work together to stabilize the hyoid bone to form a rm base for the action of the suprahyoid muscles. Together with the suprahyoid muscles, they are involved in the functions of speech, swallowing, and tongue movements.
In summary, muscles of mastication can produce man­dibular elevation, depression, protrusion, retrusion, and lateral excursion. Muscles contributing to elevation are the masseter, temporalis, medial pterygoid muscles, and the superior bers of the lateral pterygoid muscles (eccentric contraction during elevation to stabilize the disk). Muscles contributing to depres­sion are the inferior bers of the lateral pterygoid muscles, the suprahyoid muscles, and indirectly, the infrahyoid muscles. ose contributing to protrusion are the medial pterygoid, lat­eral pterygoid, and supercial bers of the masseter muscles. Retrusion is performed by the deep bers of the masseter, the

performed by the contralateral medial pterygoid, the contralat­eral lateral pterygoid, and the ipsilateral temporalis and masse­ter muscles (Table).
Neurovascular Structures
e TMJ is innervated by branches of the mandibular divi­sion of the trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V3). e anterior and medial regions of the TMJ are innervated by the deep temporal nerve and the masseteric nerve. e posterior and lateral re­gions of the TMJ are innervated by the auriculotemporal nerve. Blood supply to the TMJ is through the supercial temporal and maxillary arteries.

NORMAL KINEMATICS
Osteokinematics
e major function of the TMJ is mouth opening and clos­ing as well as tearing and grinding of food. e osteokinematics of the TMJ include depression (opening), elevation (closing), protrusion, retrusion, and lateral excursion. e normal amount of depression is between 40 to 45 mm for males, and 45 to 50 mm for females, which is approximately 4 ngers’ width of the nondominant hand. e functional amount of opening is 35 mm, or 3 ngers’ width of the nondominant hand, for both males and females. Lateral excursion should be one-fourth of the opening amount (ie, 10 mm of lateral excursion in each di­rection for a 40 mm opening). Protrusion is usually 6 to 9 mm, whereas retrusion is approximately 3 mm.
Arthrokinematics
Depression
In a relaxed resting position, the condylar head sits in the glenoid fossa with the disk resting slightly anterior to the con-
dyle. In the early phase of depression, the rst 25% to 50% of the opening range, the primary arthrokinematics movement consists of an anterior rotation of the condylar head (condylar head moves anteriorly, and the ramus moves posteriorly) taking place in the inferior joint cavity between the inferior aspect of the disk and the condylar head. In the late phase of jaw opening (last 50%), the primary arthrokinematics motion occurs in the superior cavity in the form of anterior translation of the disk and the condylar head along the articular eminence. During this late phase, the disk and the condylar head translate ante­riorly together as a unit. Because jaw opening is the result of a combination of rotation and translation, the instantaneous axis of rotation is believed to be located in the anterior-inferi­or region of the condylar neck.
16,17
In the early phase of open­ing, the rolling of the condyle stretches the oblique bers of the temporomandibular ligament, which, in turn, initiates the late phase of jaw opening through increased tension.
17
e disk moves slightly posteriorly at the initiation of opening due to in­creased tension in the posterior stratum bers. is action keeps the non-innervated intermediate portion of the disk on top of the condylar head while they both translate anteriorly as a unit through the rest of the opening phase.
Elevation
During closing of the jaw, the opposite movement sequence takes place. e condylar head and disk initially translate poste­riorly along the articular eminence in the superior cavity of the joint, and in the later phase of closing, the condylar head rotates posteriorly under the articular disk in the inferior joint cavity. roughout this movement, tension of the superior retrodiskal lamina assists with posterior retraction of the disk, which is con­trolled anteriorly by eccentric activation of the superior head of the lateral pterygoid muscle. At the end of mouth closing, the disk glides slightly anteriorly as a result of the action of the superior head of the lateral pterygoid and progressive relaxation of the posterior stratum. Again, the noninnervated intermediate

(condylar head and articular eminence) throughout the closing phase. Figure 3 shows ultrasound imaging and magnetic reso­nance imaging (MRI) of a normal TMJ in a closed and open mouth position.
Lateral excursion
Lateral excursion involves spinning of the ipsilateral con-
dyle, and horizontal anterior translation of the contralateral condyle. e muscles involved are the ipsilateral masseter, the posterior bers of the ipsilateral temporalis, and the contralater­al medial and lateral pterygoid muscles.
Protrusion
During protrusion, the mandibular condyle (head) and the disk translate anteriorly and inferiorly along the articular emi­nence in the superior cavity. e muscles of elevation (masseters and temporalis muscles) and depression-retrusion (suprahyoid muscle and inferior head of the lateral pterygoid muscle) have to work synchronously to prevent depression of the mandible and maintain balance during protrusion.
Retrusion
During retrusion, the mandibular condyle and the disk translate posteriorly along the articular eminence. e mandi­ble is maintained in the horizontal position by the synergistic action of the muscles of elevation and depression. All bers of the temporalis muscles retract the mandible from a protrud­ed position while only the posterior bers retract the mandible from the resting position.

Normal Kinematic
PATHOKINEMATICS
Trauma, disease, or chronic overuse of the TMJ can poten­tially alter the kinematics of the joint. is may be due to soft tissue imbalance, posterior ligament insuciency, mechanical derangement, or a combination of these factors. balance will result in uncoordinated movement during mouth opening and closing. Internal derangement of the disk-condyle complex results in 2 major classications: anterior disk displace­ment with reduction (ADDwR) and anterior disk displacement without reduction (ADDwoR). In most patients with internal derangement, the disk is displaced anteriorly and medially to the condylar head. In rare occasions, the disk can be displaced posteriorly to the condylar head.
Anterior Disk Displacement with Reduction
In the case of ADDwR, the disk rests in front of the condy-
lar head while the mouth is closed. During opening, the disk “reduces” back on top of the condylar head, which may create a clicking noise, and then it trans­lates anteriorly as a unit with the condyle during the rest of mouth opening. As the mouth starts to close, the disk-condyle complex initially translates together posteriorly. Near the end of mouth closing, the disk displaces anteriorly, o the condylar head, potentially due to a combination of excessive con­traction of the superior head of the lateral pterygoid muscle and a decrease in elasticity (tension) of the posterior stratum bers. is anterior dislocation of the disk may cause a second clicking noise. e term “reciprocal clicks” refers to the combination of an early “click” during mouth opening and late “click” during mouth closing. Figure 4 shows ultra­sound imaging and MRI of an ADDwR in both a closed and open mouth position.

If ADDwR is not treated properly, over time, the disk may stay displaced in front of the condyle throughout the movement of mouth opening and closing, due to a progressive decrease in elasticity of the posterior stratum bers. is condition, called ADDwoR, does not result in a clicking noise during mouth opening or closing because the disk remains located anterior to the condyle throughout the mo-

Reduction of the disk (arrows) to normal position over the head of the condyle can be appreciated in the open mouth position. Note the reduced joint space in closed mouth position as compared to open mouth position. Insets at the bottom left of the image show patient’s MRI for comparison.

Orthognathia
is is a branch of oral medicine dealing with the cause and treatment of malposition of the bones of the jaw, such as:
• Gross jaw discrepancies (anteroposterior, vertical,
or transverse)
• Skeletofacial discrepancies causing sleep apnea,
airway defects, and soft tissue discrepancies
• Skeletofacial discrepancies associated with docu-
mented TMJ pathology
It often involves open jaw surgery to realign the maxilla-facial structure, or for correction of malocclusion. An oral surgeon is the main specialist responsible for the procedure. Other practitioners such as reconstructive plastic surgeons and ortho­dontists are also potentially involved for optimal outcome.
Stomatognathic System
is system includes the structure of the mouth, teeth, jaw, and the associated soft tissues. e functions of mastication, deglutition (swallow­ing), respiration, and speech are all under this col­lective term.
disk is blocking full anterior translation of the condylar head) or no limitation in opening (if the disk is completely displaced anteriorly). Figure 5 shows the ultrasound imaging and MRI of ADDwoR in both a closed and open mouth position.
Posterior Disk Displacement
Posterior disk displacement is very rare, yet possible. is condition usually occurs after wide opening of the mouth such as when yawning or during a prolonged dental procedure. In this situation, the lateral pterygoid muscle is overly stretched, which results in posterior displacement of the disk. Patients demonstrate an open-lock (inability to close the mouth) sce­nario, and may report closing clicks in the case of reduction.

DENTAL CONSIDERATIONS AND EXAMINATION
ere are 32 teeth in the mouth, including 16 maxillary (upper) and 16 mandibular (lower) teeth. Dentists number the 32 teeth; starting with the far right upper molar as number 1 and counting towards the left, the last upper molar is number
16. e far left lower molar is number 17 and counting towards

Overbite
An overbite is measured by the portion of the mandibular central incisors that is covered by the maxillary central incisors when the mandible is in its maximally occluded position (Fig- ure 6). Normal overbite should be the maxillary central incisors covering approximately one-third of the mandibular central in­cisors.
Overjet
An overjet is measured by the horizontal distance between the maxillary arch and the mandibular arch when the mandible is in its maximally occluded position (Figure 6). Normal value is 3 to 6 mm.
Lateral Excursion
Lateral excursion is the horizontal distance between the dividing lines of the mandibular central incisors and the max­illary central incisors measured by asking the patient to move the mandible to one side, then to the other side for compari­son. Normal lateral excursion is usually 25% of the amount of mouth opening.

Deviation
is term is used to indicate that the mandible deviates from the central pathway during mouth opening and returns to the center at the end of opening. e mandible can show a “C” curve or an “S” curve pattern. A “C” curve usually indicates a capsular pattern, whereas an “S” curve indicates poor motor control (muscular imbalance) or asym­metry of condylar head rotation or translation in an individual with ADDwR.
Deection
is term is used to indicate that during open­ing of the mouth, the mandible deects to one side without returning to the center position at the end of mouth opening. is most often occurs in pa­tients with an ADDwoR. is may also occur with capsular restriction or unilateral hypomobility, in which the deection is towards the ipsilateral side (the involved side).

Occlusion
Occlusion is the functional relationship be­tween the maxillary teeth and the mandibular teeth, with malocclusion referring to a malalignment of the teeth or lack of symmetry (such as in the case of cross bite) between the maxillary and mandibular arches.
ere are 3 classes of occlusion. Class I is nor­mal, where the maxillary teeth (arch) sit slightly in front of the mandibular teeth (arch) and there is an overjet of 3 to 6 mm. Class II is dened by excessive overjet of more than 6 mm. is is frequently called an overbite, which is not to be confused with the actual denition of overbite measurement. When the mandibular arch protrudes in front of the max­illary arch, this is referred to as Class III, also called an underbite. With either overbite or underbite, the condyle-disk relationship is altered, often aecting the normal kinematics of the TMJ.
Open Bite
Open bite is a rare oral condition that occurs when the maxillary front teeth do not make contact with the mandibular front teeth during any man­dibular position. is abnormal occlusal condition aects chewing and swallowing function.

Crossbite
Crossbite is an occlusal irregularity where the central incisors of the mandibular and maxillary teeth are not perfectly aligned when the mouth is closed (ie, either arch may shift in a lateral direc-
