Summary
Temporo-Mandibular Joint (TMJ) disorders can influence dento-maxillary issues, and orthognathic surgery impacts TMJs. This review explores the relationship between TMJ and orthognathic surgery, including surgical effects and condylar positioning.
Area of Science:
- Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
- Orthodontics
- Temporomandibular Joint Disorders
Background:
- The relationship between Temporo-Mandibular Joints (TMJ) and orthognathic surgery is multifaceted.
- Historically, direct TMJ procedures were explored for skeletal dysmorphosis with variable outcomes.
- Current orthognathic surgery considerations involve TMJ in three key areas.
Observation:
- TMJ disorders can be a causative factor in dento-maxillary dysmorphosis.
- Orthognathic surgery procedures exert specific effects on the TMJs.
- Various condylar positioning methods are employed during orthognathic surgery.
Findings:
- This article synthesizes the intricate connections between TMJ health and orthognathic surgical outcomes.
- It examines the impact of surgical interventions on TMJ function and morphology.
- The review highlights different approaches to condylar positioning within orthognathic surgery.
Implications:
- Understanding these relationships is crucial for optimizing treatment planning in orthognathic surgery.
- Improved management of TMJ disorders may enhance surgical results for dento-maxillary deformities.
- This knowledge aids in achieving predictable outcomes and patient satisfaction in complex surgical cases.

01:03Structural Joints: Fibrous Joints
4.4K
Fibrous joints are a type of joint where the bones are connected by fibrous connective tissue. These joints provide stability and minimal to no movement between the articulating bones. There are three types of fibrous joints.
Suture
All the bones of the skull, except for the mandible, are joined to each other by a fibrous joint called a suture. The fibrous connective tissue found at a suture strongly unites the adjacent skull bones and thus helps to protect the brain and form the face. In...

01:15Teeth
2.1K
The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...

The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or...

01:17Structural Joints: Cartilaginous Joints
4.7K
As the name indicates, at a cartilaginous joint, the adjacent bones are united by cartilage, a tough but flexible type of connective tissue. Unlike synovial joints, these types of joints lack a joint cavity and involve bones joined together by either hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage.
There are two types of cartilaginous joints:
Synchondrosis
A synchondrosis ("joined by cartilage") is a cartilaginous joint where bones are connected by hyaline cartilage. Synchondrosis may be temporary...

00:58Introduction to Joints
5.6K
The adult human body usually has 206 bones, and except for the hyoid bone in the neck, each bone is connected to at least one other bone. Joints are the location where bones come together. Many joints allow for movement between the bones. At these joints, the articulating surfaces of the adjacent bones can move smoothly against each other. However, the bones of other joints may be joined by connective tissue or cartilage. These joints are designed for stability and provide little or no...

01:22Sutures of the Skull
14.0K
The human skull is composed of several bones that come together to protect the brain and support the structures of the face. The junctions where these bones meet are called sutures.
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...
