Although no specific data exists regarding the social impact of temporamandibular joint disorders, TMJ is estimated to account for as much as thirty billion dollars a year in lost productivity. Americans lose 550 million work days every year due to symptoms associated with TMJ, with facial pain and headache being the most common complaints. Accordingly, analgesics directed at these symptoms are among the top selling over the counter medicines in our society. Despite the lack specific data regarding the incidence of these disorders, much has been learned over the last decade regarding specific pathology and therapy. Generic terms such as TMJ Syndrome, or Myofascial Pain Dysfunction Syndrome (MPD Syndrome) are generally outdated. It is now possible to differentiate between true muscular disorders and those disorders with pathological changes of the temporomandibular joint.

Joint Disorders Joints have a tough job. They must support weight, provide a great variety of body movements, and are used very frequently. In addition to this normal wear and tear, these structures are sometimes subjected to injury from overuse, infection, an immune system launching a misplaced attack, or degeneration. Here is a look at some common joint problems. Dislocation A dislocation (luxation) displaces the articulating bones of a joint and usually results from a fall or other unusual body movement. The joints of the shoulders, knees, elbows, fingers, and jaw are common sites for this type of injury. A dislocation produces an obvious deformity of the joint, some loss of ability to move the articulated bones, localized pain, and swelling. Sprains Sprains result from overstretching or tearing the connective tissues, ligaments, and tendons associated with a joint, but they do not dislocate the articular bones. Usually forceful wrenching or twisting sprains the wrist or ankles. For example, excessively inverting an ankle can sprain it as the ligaments on its lateral surface are stretched. Severe injuries may pull these tissues loose from their attachments. A sprained joint is painful and swollen, restricting movement. Immediate treatment of a sprain is rest; more serious cases require medical attention. However, immobilization of a joint, even for a brief period, causes bone resorption and weakens ligaments. Consequently, exercise may help strengthen the joint.

Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorders About ten million Americans who suffer from such seemingly disparate symptoms as headaches, earaches, tenderness of the jaw muscles, or dull, aching facial pain often share a common problem. They all suffer from what has come to be known as temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. These disorders can have a variety of causes and are believed to result when the chewing muscles and jaw joints do not work together correctly. In many cases, TMJ disorders can be successfully treated. HOW THE CHEWING MUSCLES AND JAW JOINTS WORK The structures that make it possible to open and close the mouth are very specialized and work together when you chew, speak and swallow. These structures include the muscles, ligaments, bones and joints of the jaw. Five pairs of muscles allow you to open and close your mouth. They also control forward, backward, and side-to-side movements of the lower jaw. Also involved in these movements are the temporomandibular joints. Each of these important joints has two sections, connected by a disk, that make possible the hinge and gliding actions needed to open the mouth widely (Fig. 1). Figure 1 Position of TMJ with mouth closed Position of TMJ with mouth open wide Any problem that prevents this complex system of muscles, ligaments, bones, and joints from working together properly may result in a TMJ disorder.

The list is by no means exhaustive and should be used as a guide only. Should you, a friend or family member experience symptoms similar to those described in this section, you should consult your doctor for an expert opinion. Foot and Ankle Bunion Bunions are a very common problem, which occur when the foot spreads and the big toe then deviates towards the other toes. The prominent bone at the side of the big toe rubs against the shoe and the skin becomes reddened. Often, a sac of fluid called a bursa may develop in the tissue overlying the prominent bone. This swelling, consisting of inflamed soft tissue and underlying prominent bone, is what we call a "bunion". Corns Corns refer to the thickened skin that forms where the shoe rubs on a deformed toe. A hard corn forms where skin is dry while a soft corn forms where it is moist as between the toes. Hammer Toe Hammer toe refers to the shape a toe often takes when the joints become contracted and deformed.

The Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) is the small joint located in front of your ear where your skull and your lower jaw meet. This joint allows your lower jaw (mandible) to move so that you can talk, yawn and chew. If you place your fingers just in front of your ears and open your mouth, you can feel each of these joints on the left and right sides of your head. These two joints function together and are quite flexible. Muscles and ligaments attach to and surround these joints and control their position and movement. Temporomandibular joint disorders fall into three main categories: Internal derangement of the joint (dislocated jaw, displaced TMJ disc, condylar process injury of the lower jaw) Degenerative joint disease (osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, perforated TMJ disc) Myofascial pain disorders (pain and discomfort in the muscles around the jaw joints, neck and shoulder that can cause dysfunction) Myofascial pain is the most common disorder of the TMJ. In addition, people may have a combination of the conditions listed above.

Encyclopedia Index T Home Encyclopedia Encyclopedia Index T Temporomandibular joint disorders Definition Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ) is the name given to a group of symptoms that cause pain in the head, face, and jaw. The symptoms include headaches, soreness in the chewing muscles, and clicking or stiffness of the joints. They often have psychological as well as physical causes. Description Causes and symptoms Causes TMJ syndrome has several possible physical causes: Muscle tension. Muscle tightness in the temporomandibular joint usually results from overuse of muscles. This overuse in turn is often associated with psychological stress and clenching or grinding of the teeth ( bruxism Injury. A direct blow to the jaw or the side of the head can result in bone fracture, soft tissue bruising, or a dislocation of the temporomandibular joint itself. Arthritis. Both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis can cause TMJ. Internal derangement. Internal derangement is a condition in which the cartilage disk lies in front of its proper position. In most cases of internal derangement, the disc moves in and out of its correct location, making a clicking or popping noise as it moves. In a few cases, the disc is permanently out of position, and the patient's range of motion in the jaw is limited. Hypermobility. Hypermobility is a condition in which the ligaments that hold the jaw in place are too loose and the jaw tends to slip out of its socket.
