M andibular movement occurs as a series of interrelated threeshy
dimensional rotational and translationai activities It is determined the combined and simultaneous activities of both tar joints iTMJs) the TMls cannot functon
of each other aiso function with identical concurrent movements To better understand the of mandibular movement it is beneficia first to isolate the movements that occur within a TMI The Types of movement that occur are discussed first and then the three-dimensional rnovements of the
are divided into movements within a
TYPES OF MOVEMENT
Two of movement occur in the TM rotational and translational
ROTATIONAL MOVEMENT
Dorlands Illustmted Medical defines rolatiofl as the process of around an axis movement
of called the axis of rotatioll I In rotation occurs vhen the
arou nd a fixed or
can oe tional
In the TML rotation occurs as rlovement within the inferior of the Thus it is movement between the surface of the and the inferior surface of the articuiar disc Rotational movement of the mandible can occur in all three reference horizontal frontal vertical] and
In each it occurs arOlnd a called the axis The axis of rotation for each descri bed and ill ust rated
Horizontal Axis of Rotation Mandibular moverlent around the horizontal axis is an open and motion It is referred to as a f110VCf1W1 and the horizontal axis around which it occurs is therefore referred to as the Cixis 4-21 The movement is the of mandibular in which a rotational movement occurs In all other movemens rotation around the axis is accompashynied translation of the axs
When the are in their mos in the articular fossae and the mouth is
rotated open the axis around which move~ ment occurs is called the termif1Cl1 axis Rotational movement around the terminal can be demonstrated but occurs during normal function
Frontal (Vertical) Axis of Rotation fvandibular movement round the frontal axis occurs Ivhen one moves out of

the terminal hinge while the vertical axis of the opposite remains in the termInal hinge (Fig 4-3) Because of the inclination of the articular eminence which dictates that the frontal axis tilt as the moving or travels this type of isolated movement does not occur naturally

does not occur naturally It does occur in ton with other movements hovever when the orbiting moves downward and fonvard across the articular eminence
TRANSLATIONAL MOVEMENT
TransaUarl can be defined as a movement in which each of the has simultaneshyously the same
system it occurs when the mandible moves as in The teeth and
rami all move in the same direction and to the same 4-5 )
Translation occurs within the of the between the superior surface of the articshyular disc and the inferior surface of the articular fossa (ie between the and the articular fossa I
During most normal movements of the both rotation and translation occur lie while the mandible is around one or more of the axes each of the axes is or changing its orientation in This results in complex movements that are extremely difficult

it moves in each of the three reference
SINGLE-PLANE BORDER MOVEMENTS
Mandibular movement is limited by the I and the articu lar surfaces of the TMjs as well as by the morphology and alignment of the teeth When the mandible moves the outer range of motion reproducible describable limits called uorder l11ovel11ents result The border and typical funcshytional movements of the mandible are described for each reference
SAGITTAL PLANE BORDER AND FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENTS
Mandibular motion viewed in the sagittal plane can be seen to have four distinct movement comshyponents I 4-6) I Posterior opening border 2 Anterior border 3 Superior contact border 4 Functional
The range of and anterior border movements is determined or limited primashyrily ligaments and the of the TMls Superior contact border movements are determined

by the occlusal and incisal surfaces of the teeth Functional movements are not considered border movements because they are not determined by an outer range of motion They are determined the conditional responses of the neuromuscular system (see Chapter 2)
Posterior Opening Border Movements Posterior opening border movements in the sagitshytal plane occur as two-stage hinging movements In the first stage ( 4-7) the condyles are stabilized in their most superior positions in the articular fossae (ie the terminal ) The most superior from which a axis movement can occur is the centric relation (CR) position The mandible can be lowered (mouth opening) in a pure rotational movement without translation of the condyles Theoretically a movement I pure rotation) can be generated from any mandibular anterior to CR for this to occur the must be stabilized so that translation of the horizontal axis does

not occur Because this stabilization is difficult to establish opening border movements that use the terminal axis are the only repeatable hinge axis movements of the mandible
In CR the mandible can be rotated around the horizontai axis to a distance of only 20 to 25 mm as measured between the incisal edges of the maxi1ary and mandibular incisors t this of opening the temporomandibular ligaments tighten after which continued opening results in an anterior and inferior translation of the condyles As the translate the axis of rotation of the mandible shifts into the bodies of the rami resulting in the second of the posterior
border movement ( 4-8) The exact location of the axes of rotation in the rami is
to be the area of attachment of the sphenoshymandibular ligaments During this in which the mandible is rotating around a horizontal axis
through the rami the condyles are moving and i and the anterior portion of
the mandible is moving posteriorly and inferiorly

Because this is not a true the in which the mandible is maintained is
more appropriately termed the postural pOSition If the chewing stroke is examined in the
plane the movement will be seen to begin at the iCP and drop downward and slightly forward to the
of desired opening (Fig 4middot18) It then returns in a straighter posterior to the opening movement (as described in Chapter 2)

THREE-DIMENSIONAL MOVEMENT
To demonstrate the complexity of mandibular movement a seemingly simple right lateral excursion will be used ls the musculature begins to contract and move the mandible to the right the left out of its CR position As the left is anteriorly around the frontal axis of the condyle it encounters the of the articular eminence which causes an inferior movement of the condyle around the axis with resultant tilting of the frontal axis Additional contact of the anterior teeth a slightly greater inferior movement in the anterior part of the mandible than in the part which results in an
movement around the horizontal axis Because the left is and

THREE-DIMENSIONAL MOVEMENT
To demonstrate the complexity of mandibular movement a seemingly simple right lateral excursion will be used ls the musculature begins to contract and move the mandible to the right the left out of its CR position As the left is anteriorly around the frontal axis of the condyle it encounters the of the articular eminence which causes an inferior movement of the condyle around the axis with resultant tilting of the frontal axis Additional contact of the anterior teeth a slightly greater inferior movement in the anterior part of the mandible than in the part which results in an
movement around the horizontal axis Because the left is and

Translation occurs within the of the between the superior surface of the articshyular disc and the inferior surface of the articular fossa (ie between the and the articular fossa I
During most normal movements of the both rotation and translation occur lie while the mandible is around one or more of the axes each of the axes is or changing its orientation in This results in complex movements that are extremely difficult

Posterior Opening Border Movements Posterior opening border movements in the sagitshytal plane occur as two-stage hinging movements In the first stage ( 4-7) the condyles are stabilized in their most superior positions in the articular fossae (ie the terminal ) The most superior from which a axis movement can occur is the centric relation (CR) position The mandible can be lowered (mouth opening) in a pure rotational movement without translation of the condyles Theoretically a movement I pure rotation) can be generated from any mandibular anterior to CR for this to occur the must be stabilized so that translation of the horizontal axis does

In CR the mandible can be rotated around the horizontai axis to a distance of only 20 to 25 mm as measured between the incisal edges of the maxi1ary and mandibular incisors t this of opening the temporomandibular ligaments tighten after which continued opening results in an anterior and inferior translation of the condyles As the translate the axis of rotation of the mandible shifts into the bodies of the rami resulting in the second of the posterior

to be the area of attachment of the sphenoshymandibular ligaments During this in which the mandible is rotating around a horizontal axis
through the rami the condyles are moving and i and the anterior portion of
the mandible is moving posteriorly and inferiorly

Posterior Opening Border Movements Posterior opening border movements in the sagitshytal plane occur as two-stage hinging movements In the first stage ( 4-7) the condyles are stabilized in their most superior positions in the articular fossae (ie the terminal ) The most superior from which a axis movement can occur is the centric relation (CR) position The mandible can be lowered (mouth opening) in a pure rotational movement without translation of the condyles Theoretically a movement I pure rotation) can be generated from any mandibular anterior to CR for this to occur the must be stabilized so that translation of the horizontal axis does

not occur Because this stabilization is difficult to establish opening border movements that use the terminal axis are the only repeatable hinge axis movements of the mandible
In CR the mandible can be rotated around the horizontai axis to a distance of only 20 to 25 mm as measured between the incisal edges of the maxi1ary and mandibular incisors t this of opening the temporomandibular ligaments tighten after which continued opening results in an anterior and inferior translation of the condyles As the translate the axis of rotation of the mandible shifts into the bodies of the rami resulting in the second of the posterior
border movement ( 4-8) The exact location of the axes of rotation in the rami is
to be the area of attachment of the sphenoshymandibular ligaments During this in which the mandible is rotating around a horizontal axis
through the rami the condyles are moving and i and the anterior portion of
the mandible is moving posteriorly and inferiorly

THREE-DIMENSIONAL MOVEMENT
To demonstrate the complexity of mandibular movement a seemingly simple right lateral excursion will be used ls the musculature begins to contract and move the mandible to the right the left out of its CR position As the left is anteriorly around the frontal axis of the condyle it encounters the of the articular eminence which causes an inferior movement of the condyle around the axis with resultant tilting of the frontal axis Additional contact of the anterior teeth a slightly greater inferior movement in the anterior part of the mandible than in the part which results in an
movement around the horizontal axis Because the left is and

THREE-DIMENSIONAL MOVEMENT
To demonstrate the complexity of mandibular movement a seemingly simple right lateral excursion will be used ls the musculature begins to contract and move the mandible to the right the left out of its CR position As the left is anteriorly around the frontal axis of the condyle it encounters the of the articular eminence which causes an inferior movement of the condyle around the axis with resultant tilting of the frontal axis Additional contact of the anterior teeth a slightly greater inferior movement in the anterior part of the mandible than in the part which results in an
movement around the horizontal axis Because the left is and
