1935-1949 Charles Sidney Burwell
Dr. Burwell was a cardiologist who specialized
in circulation changes associated with heart
disease. He is credited with bringing attention to
obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.
In 1944, Dean
"Half of what we are going to teach you is
wrong, and half of it is right. Our problem is
that we don't know which half is which."

Adaptation
Mechanisms of Biological System when it exposed to many influences
Biological adaptation the adaptation
of living things to environmental
factors for the ultimate purpose of
survival, reproduction, and an optimal
level of functioning.
Compensation
Mechanisms of Biological System when it exposed to many influences
1. the counterbalancing of any defect of structure or
function.
2. a mental process that may be either conscious or
unconscious defense mechanism by which a
person attempts to make up for real or imagined
physical or psychological deficiencies.
3. in cardiology, the maintenance of an adequate
blood flow without distressing symptoms,
accomplished by such cardiac and circulatory
adjustments as tachycardia, cardiac hypertrophy,
and increase of blood volume by sodium and
water retention.

The Role of Dentistry in Craniofacial Pain
psychological factors occlusal factors
Vs
21
Every patient with head and neck pain should be seen by a
dentist in order to clarify the following questions:
Do the symptoms arise from a structure in the masticatory
system (presence of a loading vector)?
Is the loading vector related to the occlusion?
Can the occlusion-related portion of the total loading vector be
reduced with reasonable effort and expense?
Would symptomatic treatment in the dental office be
reasonable?

Influence of head and body posture on the mandible . As an
example, the sternocleidomastoid muscle is always active
during bruxism; however, an activity level of 50% is necessary
in the masseter muscle before a 5% level is reached in the
articular eminence (1) and at the far left is the external auditory meatus (2). In the posterior
portion of the fossa the squamotympanic fissure (3) is found laterally, and the
petrosquamous (4) and petrotympanic (5) fissures are found medially.
These fissures are ossified in more than 95% of patients with disk displacement, whereas in joints without
disk displacement normal fissure formation prevails (Bumann et al. 1991).

completely ossified

Positional Relationships of the Bony Structures
The physiological (i.e. centric) condylar position is defined as the most
anterosuperior position with no lateral displacement (arrows), this
position depends upon the basic neuromuscular tonus.
Sagittal relationships
By applying artificial traction on the specimen, the anterior portions of the upper and lower joint
capsules (arrows) have been made more clearly visible. Posteriorly the joint spaces are bounded
by the superior stratum (1) and inferior stratum (2). The posterior capsule wall lies behind the
genu vasculosum. The type-Ill receptors of the capsule are only activated by heavy tensile loads
on the lateral ligament and serve then to stimulate the elevator muscles (Kraus 1994)

Overdistended capsule
Anterior disk displacement requires not only a stretching of the inferior stratum
(1), but also a distention of the lower anterior wall of the joint capsule (arrows).
However, because the connective tissue of the anterior capsule wall is much
looser, disk displacement depends almost exclusively on posterior loading
vectors and the adaptability of the inferior stratum. A downward movement of the
condyle as shown here without downward movement of the disk is possible only
with extensive stretching of the inferior stratum.
(Solberg et al, 1985, Bermejo et al. 1992) identify two separate
connective tissue structures for attachment to the condyle, one for
the disk (1) and the other for the capsule (2).

With the jaws closed the bilaminar zone (1) fills the space
posterior to both the pars posterior (2) and the condyle (3).
The inferior stratum stabilizes the disk on the condyle in
the sagittal plane. An overextension of the bilaminar zone
through posterosuperior displacement of the condyle is an
essential precondition for an anterior disk displacement to
occur.
With the mouth open the genu
vasculosum (1) fills with blood. The

BilaminarZone
Three Main Functions:
1. Stabilization
2. Guidance of Movement.
3. Limitation of Movement
Ligaments
What is the most important function ???
Lateral ligament
Lateral ligament
The lateral ligament (arrows). The initial rotation during an opening movement
is limited by the superficial part of the lateral ligament (von Hayek 1937, Burch
and Lundeen 1971). Further opening of the jaws can occur only after
protrusion has relieved tension on the ligament, following which the ligament
is again stressed by renewed rotation (Osborn 1989).
Situation with jaws closed
Lateral ligament
Situation with jaws open
Jaw opening is restricted by the length of the lateral ligament from its origin to its
insertion. However, if the condyle can slip past the apex of the tubercle (eminence), the
ligament (arrows) will no longer have this limiting effect. In addition, the lateral ligament
will now impede retrusive and laterotrusive movements of the condyle (Posselt 1958,
Brown 1975, Osborn 1989).
Stylomandibular ligament
Situation during rotational jaw
opening
Situation with jaws closed
Situation during translation
Sphenomandibular ligament
Situation during opening rotation
Situation at the habitual condylar
position
Situation during translation
Initial phase
The condyle makes a rotational movement with a small translational component,
changing its position relative to the fossa only slightly. Because of the condylar
rotation, the disk moves posteriorly relative to the condyle. The only part of the
lateral pterygoid muscle that is active is its lower head (1).
Jaw-OpeningMovement
Intermediate phase
The disk moves anteriorly relative to the fossa, but posteriorly in relation to the
condyle. Tension becomes steadily increased in the superior stratum of the
bilaminar zone and in the lower anterior wall of the joint capsule. The inferior
stratum relaxes to the same extent. The venous plexus of the genu vasculosum
expands, creating a negative pressure, and fills with blood.
Jaw-OpeningMovement
The condyle reaches the maximum extent of its rotation and translation. The
translational component passively moves the disk farther forward, while the
rotation makes it lie farther posteriorly on the condyle. The superior stratum and
the lower anterior capsule wall are now stretched to their maximum. The
retrocondylar space is filled by the blood flowing into the genu vasculosum. The
inferior stratum is completely relaxed.
Terminal phase
Jaw-OpeningMovement
Initial phase
The upper head (1) of the lateral pterygoid muscle retards distal movement of the
condyle through eccentric muscle activity. The disk can only be passively guided
posteriorly. In the initial phase this is brought about by the tension in the elastic
superior stratum. A physiological positive pressure arises in the genu vasculosum
Jaw-ClosingMovement
Tension in the superior stratum steadily diminishes, and the disk, because of the
bulge of its pars posterior, is passively carried farther distally. A nonphysiological
increase of pressure in the genu vasculosum due to sympathetic or hormonal
influences would exert an anteriorly directed force on the disk (Ward et al. 1990).
This can lead to increased tension in the inferior stratum and flattening of the disk.
Intermediate phase
Jaw-ClosingMovement
Terminal phase
The inferior stratum becomes increasingly tense and finally prevents anterior disk
displacement in case the condyle moves too far distally. Anterior disk
displacement can occur only in the presence of an overstretched inferior stratum,
with or without flattening of the pars posterior (Eriksson et al. 1992).

  • 13. Every patient with head and neck pain should be seen by a dentist in order to clarify the following questions: Do the symptoms arise from a structure in the masticatory system (presence of a loading vector)? Is the loading vector related to the occlusion? Can the occlusion-related portion of the total loading vector be reduced with reasonable effort and expense? Would symptomatic treatment in the dental office be reasonable? The Role of Dentistry in Craniofacial Pain

  • 38. articular eminence (1) and at the far left is the external auditory meatus (2). In the posterior portion of the fossa the squamotympanic fissure (3) is found laterally, and the petrosquamous (4) and petrotympanic (5) fissures are found medially.
  • 39. These fissures are ossified in more than 95% of patients with disk displacement, whereas in joints without disk displacement normal fissure formation prevails (Bumann et al. 1991). Squamotympanic fissure is completely ossified
  • 40. Inferior view of the temporal cartilaginous joint surface and capsule attachment
  • 41. Positional Relationships of the Bony Structures The physiological (i.e. centric) condylar position is defined as the most anterosuperior position with no lateral displacement (arrows), this position depends upon the basic neuromuscular tonus. Sagittal relationships
  • 42. By applying artificial traction on the specimen, the anterior portions of the upper and lower joint capsules (arrows) have been made more clearly visible. Posteriorly the joint spaces are bounded by the superior stratum (1) and inferior stratum (2). The posterior capsule wall lies behind the genu vasculosum. The type-Ill receptors of the capsule are only activated by heavy tensile loads on the lateral ligament and serve then to stimulate the elevator muscles (Kraus 1994) Joint capsule in the sagittal plane
  • 44. Overdistended capsule Anterior disk displacement requires not only a stretching of the inferior stratum (1), but also a distention of the lower anterior wall of the joint capsule (arrows). However, because the connective tissue of the anterior capsule wall is much looser, disk displacement depends almost exclusively on posterior loading vectors and the adaptability of the inferior stratum. A downward movement of the condyle as shown here without downward movement of the disk is possible only with extensive stretching of the inferior stratum.
  • 45. (Solberg et al, 1985, Bermejo et al. 1992) identify two separate connective tissue structures for attachment to the condyle, one for the disk (1) and the other for the capsule (2). Diskandcapuleattachmentsinthe frontalplane "diskocapsular system" (Dauber 1987)
  • 46. Dr.Samer F.Mheissen Macroscopicanatomicalpreparation With the jaws closed the bilaminar zone (1) fills the space posterior to both the pars posterior (2) and the condyle (3). The inferior stratum stabilizes the disk on the condyle in the sagittal plane. An overextension of the bilaminar zone through posterosuperior displacement of the condyle is an essential precondition for an anterior disk displacement to occur. With the mouth open the genu vasculosum (1) fills with blood. The superior stratum (2) and inferior .stratum (3) can be easily identified

The inferior stratum stabilizes the disk on the condyle in the sagittal plane. An overextension of the bilaminar zone through posterosuperior displacement of the condyle is an essential precondition for an anterior disk displacement to occur.

  • 52. Three Main Functions: 1. Stabilization 2. Guidance of Movement. 3. Limitation of Movement Ligaments What is the most important function ???
  • 54. Lateral ligament The lateral ligament (arrows). The initial rotation during an opening movement is limited by the superficial part of the lateral ligament (von Hayek 1937, Burch and Lundeen 1971). Further opening of the jaws can occur only after protrusion has relieved tension on the ligament, following which the ligament is again stressed by renewed rotation (Osborn 1989). Situation with jaws closed
  • 55. Lateral ligament Situation with jaws open Jaw opening is restricted by the length of the lateral ligament from its origin to its insertion. However, if the condyle can slip past the apex of the tubercle (eminence), the ligament (arrows) will no longer have this limiting effect. In addition, the lateral ligament will now impede retrusive and laterotrusive movements of the condyle (Posselt 1958, Brown 1975, Osborn 1989).
  • 56. Stylomandibular ligament Situation during rotational jaw opening Situation with jaws closed Situation during translation
  • 57. Sphenomandibular ligament Situation during opening rotation Situation at the habitual condylar position Situation during translation
  • 58.
  • 59. Initial phase The condyle makes a rotational movement with a small translational component, changing its position relative to the fossa only slightly. Because of the condylar rotation, the disk moves posteriorly relative to the condyle. The only part of the lateral pterygoid muscle that is active is its lower head (1). Jaw-OpeningMovement
  • 60. Intermediate phase The disk moves anteriorly relative to the fossa, but posteriorly in relation to the condyle. Tension becomes steadily increased in the superior stratum of the bilaminar zone and in the lower anterior wall of the joint capsule. The inferior stratum relaxes to the same extent. The venous plexus of the genu vasculosum expands, creating a negative pressure, and fills with blood. Jaw-OpeningMovement
  • 61. The condyle reaches the maximum extent of its rotation and translation. The translational component passively moves the disk farther forward, while the rotation makes it lie farther posteriorly on the condyle. The superior stratum and the lower anterior capsule wall are now stretched to their maximum. The retrocondylar space is filled by the blood flowing into the genu vasculosum. The inferior stratum is completely relaxed. Terminal phase Jaw-OpeningMovement
  • 62. Initial phase The upper head (1) of the lateral pterygoid muscle retards distal movement of the condyle through eccentric muscle activity. The disk can only be passively guided posteriorly. In the initial phase this is brought about by the tension in the elastic superior stratum. A physiological positive pressure arises in the genu vasculosum Jaw-ClosingMovement
  • 63. Tension in the superior stratum steadily diminishes, and the disk, because of the bulge of its pars posterior, is passively carried farther distally. A nonphysiological increase of pressure in the genu vasculosum due to sympathetic or hormonal influences would exert an anteriorly directed force on the disk (Ward et al. 1990). This can lead to increased tension in the inferior stratum and flattening of the disk. Intermediate phase Jaw-ClosingMovement
  • 64. Terminal phase The inferior stratum becomes increasingly tense and finally prevents anterior disk displacement in case the condyle moves too far distally. Anterior disk displacement can occur only in the presence of an overstretched inferior stratum, with or without flattening of the pars posterior (Eriksson et al. 1992). Jaw-ClosingMovement
