Range of Motion: Temporomandibular (TMJ) Lateral Excursion
Learn the proper technique to measure lateral excursion range of motion for the temporomandibular (TMJ) joint using a ruler.
TMJ Assessment: Jaw Range of Motion, Noise, and Tenderness
TMJ Noise and Tenderness Exam. 1. Dorsal TMJ Capsule Palpation. Have the patient open their mouth to find the lateral pole of condyle and then move your finger to the back and slightly inferior to the condyle pole to evaluate the dorsal surface of TMJ capsule. Next, have the patient close their mouth and insert your smallest finger into the ...
What is lateral excursion?
The movements produced by the TMJ are protrusion (moving the lower jaw forward), retrusion (moving the lower jaw backward), elevation (mouth closure), depression (mouth opening), lateral excursion (side to side). In this article, we would be focusing on lateral excursion. Simply put, lateral excursion is when the mandible moves to one side.
TMJ Movements
TMJ Movements. Normal movements of the jaw during function, such as chewing, are known as excursions. There are two lateral excursions ( left and right ) and the forward excursion, known as protrusion, the reversal of which is retrusion. When the jaw is moved into protrusion, the lower incisors or front teeth are moved so that they first come ...
Temporomandibular joint: from anatomy to internal derangement
The temporomandibular joint can be affected by various conditions, such as joint dysfunction, degenerative changes, inflammatory processes, infections, tumors, and trauma. ... 6, bilaminar zone; 7, superior and inferior bellies of the lateral pterygoid muscle. ... and an anterior osteophyte. In cases of increased excursion, the condyle passes ...
The Temporomandibular Joint
If a protrusion movement occurs unilaterally, it is called a lateral excursion, or deviation. For example, if only the left TMJ protrudes, the jaw deviates to the right. Lateral movements of the mandible are the result of asymmetric muscle contractions . During a lateral excursion to the right, the condyle and the disk on the left side glide ...
Temporomandibular Joint
The TMJ is a synovial ginglymoarthrodial joint with osteokinematic motions that are described as depression, elevation, protrusion, retrusion, and lateral excursion. The arthrokinematic movements can be divided into active accessory and passive accessory movements.
Temporomandibular disorders. Part 1: anatomy and examination/diagnosis
The lateral pterygoid is the primary opener and is the strongest contributor to both protrusion and medial/lateral deviation of the jaw, both of which are required for normal mastication. Other muscles including the geniohyoid, mylohyoid, and the digastric muscles assist in opening. 30 The primary closers include the temporalis, masseter, and ...

The Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ)- lateral view. Structure of the temporomandibular joint Mandibular fossa. The mandibular fossa also referred as the glenoid fossa, ... Lateral excursion is primarily a lateral translation of the mandible in the horizontal plane. The direction of lateral excursion can be described as either contralateral or ...

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the articulation between the mandible, the articular disc, ... Fig. 13.4), and right and left lateral excursion or laterotrusion (lateral deviation; Fig. 13.5). Maximal contact of the teeth in mouth closing is called centric occlusion. ...
Automobilization intervention and exercise for temporomandibular joint
The limited right lateral excursion, associated sensation of right TMJ obstruction, firm endfeel and right TMJ pain during passive overpressure indicates the patient may have persistence of PDD of the right TMJ. 19, 35, 41 The 'C' curve during opening and closing may be due to early translation of the right TMJ due to a PDD or to early ...
Temporomandibular joint
There are two lateral excursions (left and right) and the forward excursion, known as protrusion. The reversal of protrusion is retrusion. ... Temporomandibular joint pain is generally due to one of four reasons. Myofascial pain dysfunction syndrome, primarily involving the muscles of mastication. This is the most common cause.

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ), pain, and how to fix it
The Temporomandibular joint is like any other joint in the body. It is the point where two bones articulate to create movement. The joint is held together passively by ligaments and moved by the contraction of multiple little muscles. ... The lateral excursion is the movement to the left and right of the zero position of the jaw. The medial ...
Temporomandibular joint dysfunction
MRI. MRI is the standard method of evaluation of TMJ. The study should include oblique sagittal spin and gradient echo T2 weighted images on each TMJ separately both in open and closed mouth positions. Some institutes use PD instead of spin echo T2 sequence. Normally the disc is biconcave structure, returns low signal on all sequences, located ...
Imaging of the temporomandibular joint: An update
Imaging of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is continuously evolving with advancement of imaging technologies. Many different imaging modalities are currently used to evaluate the TMJ. ... stretching or perforation of the retrodiscal tissue causes deformation of the disk leading to an improvement in jaw excursion and reduced lateral deviation ...
Finite element analysis of the temporomandibular joint during lateral
In this paper, a lateral excursion of the mandible was introduced and the biomechanical behaviour of both sides was studied. A three-dimensional finite element model of the joint comprising the bone components, both articular discs, and the temporomandibular ligaments was used. A fibre-reinforced porohyperelastic model was introduced to ...

Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Therapy
Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Therapy. Your temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the joint where your upper and lower jaw meet. Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD), also known as TMJ syndrome, causes jaw or facial pain accompanied by headaches and stiffness. Most often it is caused by some form of trauma to the jaw, which may come from stress, poor ...
The Temporomandibular Joint Examination
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the articulation of the mandibular condyle with the glenoid fossa of the temporal bone. ... The lateral pterygoid is accessible to the examining finger intraorally posterior to the maxillary tuberosity. Areas of identified muscle spasm or tenderness can be injected with local anesthesia, 2% lidocaine or 0.5% ...
Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorder
Treating TMJ Disorder. In most cases, TMJ pain and discomfort can be relieved with self-care or other nonsurgical treatment. These may include wearing a custom-made mouth guard or occlusal splint, taking anti-inflammatory or muscle-relaxing medicines and/or using relaxation techniques to deter jaw clenching and tooth grinding as needed.
