Type I collagen is the predominant component in the articular
disc. These fibers both fibers of the intermediate area as the
fibers of the front and rear bands are arranged in parallel.
ELASTIN:
It has been shown that is present in all regions of the disk and
subsequent articular joints, although on a much smaller
proportion than the collagen fibers, elastin fibers were positioned
in parallel with the collagen fibers. In the intermediate, front and
rear area of the human disc.
It is very likely that some pterygoid muscle fibers are connected
with the portion of the disc, pulling it forward.
Also some parafunctions (like nail biting) lead the jaw forward,
pushing and holding the front drive.
Date of consultation: 09/09/2013
63 year old patient has pain in temporomandibular joint (TMJ) left since 2006. Currently
has pain in both joints, especially on the right, referring difficulty in mouth opening (3 cm).
Presentation of tests: Degenerative changes in ATM severe left with osteophytes
(arthrosis) and anterior dislocation of the meniscal cartilage normal right side.
Qualifying pain "consumed" in a score of 3 on 3 (severe) during the last week
Pain of 8.4 out of 10 during the last week.
At the time of the consultation, a score of 3 out of 5 (severe).
A scanning active joint mobility, has marked deduction or right lateral sliding during
opening, with slight turn to the starting position
HISTORY CLINICA 2:
32 year old patient presenting a somewhat dysfunctional syndrome of the temporo-
mandibular joint (SADAM). This patient presented joint pain, joint crunch, deviation of the
mandible to the right to open his mouth, ear ringing, cervical pain and headaches.
o TREATMENT:
In this patient, because of the symptoms that we had to address both the ATM as the neck.
For ATM use mobilization techniques to the meniscus and condyle and massage
techniques to the masticatory muscles and the external pterygoid
For cervical osteopathic techniques used to remove the attachment of the upper
vertebrae and massage to remove the upper trapezius spasm.
The bad position of the condyle did not improve until we get a balance between the
cervical and ATM. In the first session we focus on releasing the cervical and masticatory
muscles. Once the muscles relaxed, we focus on removing the cervical fixation and
improve the poor position of the ATM.
In three sessions, combining the cervical and ATM treatment, the patient improved
dramatically.
