Percentage of Lateral Pterygoid Muscle Inserted in the Disc of Human Temporomandibular Joint
نویسنده
چکیده
SUMARY: Insertion of the upper head of the lateral pterygoid (UHLP) in the temporomandibular joint disc (TMJ) has been linked to anterior displacement of the disc and temporomandibular disfunction. The aim of this study was to determine in human adults, the percentage of muscle fiber in the upper head of the lateral pterygoid muscle inserted in the articular disc. A systematic review of the literature was designed beginning with articles published in Medline, Lilacs and Scielo data bases between the years 1990 and 2010.

Prevalence of temporomandibular joint sideways disc displacement in symptom-free volunteers and comparison of signal intensity ratios of masticator muscles on magnetic resonance images
The objectives of this study were to figure out the prevalence of sideways disc displacement of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) in symptom-free volunteers and to compare signal. The study was based on bilateral Magnetic Resonance Images (MRI) of 112 joints in 56 symptom-free volunteers. Sideways displacements were identified as medial disc displacement (MDD) and lateral disc displacement (LDD...
متن کاملEarly foetal development of the articular disc in the human temporomandibular joint.
In foetuses of 9 and 10 weeks the articular disc presents a more cellular structure with bands of connective tissue fibres. It is connected with the articular capsule and lateral pterygoid muscle. During weeks 11 and 12 there is an increase in collagenous fibres and fusiform cells are located mainly close to the surface of the disc.

Background and Aims: Disc displacement is the most common temporomandibular joint disorder and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the gold standard in its diagnosis. This disorder can lead to changes in signal intensity of magnetic resonance (MR). The purpose of this study was evaluation of correlation between relative signal intensity of MR images of retrodiscal tissue, superior and inferior ...

BACKGROUND The pathogenesis of traumatic TMJ ankylosis remains unclear. This study aimed to verify the role of the lateral pterygoid muscle in the pathogenesis of traumatic temporomandibular joint (TMJ) bony ankylosis. METHODS Eight 6-month-old male sheep were used in this study. Bilateral TMJ osteotomies were performed to induce sagittal fractures of the mandibular condyle. The lateral one-f...
