The document discusses the anatomy of the stomatognathic system. It begins with definitions and then discusses the components which include the osseous anatomy, temporomandibular joint, articular disc, condyle/disc assembly, TMJ ligaments, muscles of mastication, tongue, and muscle activity regulation. It provides details on the maxilla, mandible, temporal bone, TMJ, articular disc, condyle, mandibular fossa, ligaments, joint cavities, synovial fluid, blood supply, nerve supply, mastication, and the muscles involved - the masseter, temporalis, medial and lateral pterygoid. It focuses on the anatomy and functions
The document discusses temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD) and their relationship to orthodontic treatment. Some key points:
- TMD signs and symptoms are common in the general population and usually increase with age, unrelated to orthodontic treatment.
- Orthodontic treatment does not increase or decrease the risk of developing TMD. No specific orthodontic mechanics are linked to higher risk.
- Achieving an ideal occlusion does not prevent TMD, and no method of prevention has been proven effective. TMD is usually alleviated by simple, conservative treatments in most cases.

Rakosi's analysis is an important diagnostic tool for planning functional appliance therapy. It involves analyzing three divisions: 1) the facial skeleton, 2) the jaw bones, and 3) the dentoalveolar relationship. Key measurements of the facial skeleton include saddle, articular, and gonial angles which provide information about cranial base orientation and mandibular positioning. Measurements of the jaw bones like SNA, SNB, and inclination angle describe the maxillary and mandibular skeletal bases. Dentoalveolar measurements such as upper and lower incisor angles indicate incisor inclinations. Rakosi's analysis provides a comprehensive evaluation of skeletal, dental, and soft tissue structures for orthodontic
This document provides information on performing a functional examination as part of an orthodontic diagnosis. It discusses examining the postural rest position and maximum intercuspation, as well as the temporomandibular joint, orofacial dysfunction, and various functional movements. Methods for determining and registering the postural rest position are described. Examination of swallowing, tongue posture, speech, lips, respiration, and craniofacial skeletal relationships are also covered to evaluate orofacial dysfunction. The document emphasizes that a functional examination is important for a complete orthodontic diagnosis beyond just a static evaluation of dental relationships.

Nanotechnology offers several potential applications in orthodontics. Nanocoatings applied to archwires can reduce friction between the wire and bracket, enabling more efficient tooth movement. Shape memory polymer wires and hollow nickel-titanium wires under development may provide esthetic, lighter force options. Nanocomposite orthodontic adhesives have advantages over traditional adhesives like reduced shrinkage and improved mechanical properties. The antibacterial properties of nanosilver and nanocalcium phosphate additions to materials may also help prevent decalcification during treatment. Overall, nanotechnology shows promise for improving esthetics, efficiency, and oral health outcomes in orthodontic treatment.

Dr. James McNamara developed a cephalometric analysis method in 1984 to evaluate orthodontic and orthognathic surgery patients. The analysis divides the craniofacial skeleton into five sections - maxilla to cranial base, maxilla to mandible, mandible to cranial base, dentition, and airway. Linear measurements of landmarks and planes are compared to normative standards to assess relationships. Advantages include using primarily linear measurements, being more sensitive to vertical changes, and providing growth guidelines that are easily explained.

Functional appliances utilize the natural forces of the orofacial musculature to produce skeletal and dental changes. They are based on Moss's functional matrix theory which proposes that muscles and glands influence bone growth. Functional appliances can be active or passive and produce orthopedic, dentoalveolar, and muscular changes through forces of compression, elimination of restrictive influences, and mandibular repositioning. Common functional appliances discussed in the document include Bionators, Twin-Blocks, Herbst, Frankel Regulator, and Jasper Jumper. They vary in their mode of action, indications, advantages, and disadvantages.
The document discusses the evolution of orthodontic brackets from early appliances like Angle's E-arch and pin and tube appliance to modern brackets. Key developments include Begg's modified ribbon arch bracket in the 1930s, Angle's original edgewise bracket in 1925, and twin wire appliances. Modified edgewise brackets were introduced, including Alexander Sved's twin brackets in 1937. Ceramic and plastic brackets were later created for aesthetics. Self-ligating brackets were introduced more recently to reduce friction. Overall the document provides a comprehensive overview of the history and developments in orthodontic bracket design.
hai this is a nice seminar and inculcated all the recent materials and biomaterials and biomechanics of the invisalign techniques , materials to be used and clinical aspects just have a look to it
Dr. Percival Raymond Begg developed the Begg technique for orthodontic treatment over many years, beginning in the 1920s. He studied under Dr. Angle and was an early user of the Edgewise appliance. Through his own practice, Begg realized some limitations of Angle's methods and made modifications like removing teeth or stripping tooth width to improve outcomes. This evolved into the Begg technique using light wires and brackets to minimize forces and reduce relapse. The technique gained popularity after visits by American orthodontists to Begg's practice and demonstrations of its effectiveness.

The document discusses theories of mandibular growth and the construction bite technique used in orthodontic appliances. It describes several theories of condylar growth including the genetic control theory, functional matrix hypothesis, and lateral pterygoid hyperactivity hypothesis. It also discusses the growth relativity hypothesis. The construction bite is critical for functional appliances to work properly and involves analyzing study models, function, and cephalometrics to determine the proper vertical and horizontal positioning of the mandible. The magnitude of correction depends on factors like the type of malocclusion and developmental state.
This document discusses anchorage in orthodontics, including definitions, classifications, and types of anchorage. It covers intraoral and extraoral anchorage units such as teeth, alveolar bone, basal bone, musculature, cranium, cervical vertebrae, and facial bones. Factors that affect anchorage planning like number of teeth being moved, type of teeth and movement, treatment duration, and skeletal growth patterns are also summarized. The classifications of anchorage include simple, stationary, reciprocal, intramaxillary, intermaxillary, single/primary, compound, reinforced, and according to amount of expected anchorage loss.
This document discusses utility arches, which are orthodontic appliances used to apply light forces in the dental arch. It provides details on:
- The historical background and development of utility arches based on biomechanical principles.
- Common wire dimensions and materials used, including stainless steel, nickel titanium, and beta titanium alloys.
- The standard design components of utility arches, including molar, vertical, and incisal segments.
- Different types of utility arches like passive arches, intrusion arches, and retraction/protrusion arches and how they are activated to apply specific orthodontic forces.

Temporomandibular joint anatomy and functionDR POOJA
diarthrodial joint
The masticatory system is the functional unit of the body primarily responsible for chewing, speaking and swallowing. Components also play a major role in tasting and breathing.
The system is made up of bones, joints, ligaments, teeth and muscles.
In addition ,there is an intricate neurologic controlling system that regulates and coordinates all these structural components.
The Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is formed by the articulation between the articular eminence and the anterior part of the glenoid fossa of the squamous part of temporal bone above and the condylar head of the mandible below.
The TMJ contains a fibrous intraarticular disk that is interposed between the articular surface and functions as a shock absorber.
The TMJ is a compound joint that can be classified by anatomic type as well as by function.
Anatomically the TMJ is a diarthrodial joint, which is a discontinuous articulation of two bones permitting freedom of movement that is dictated by associated muscles and limited by ligaments.
It is also a synovial joint, lined on its inner aspect by a synovial membrane, which secretes synovial fluid. The fluid acts as a joint lubricant and supplies the metabolic and nutritional needs of the non-vascularized internal joint structures.
Functionally the TMJ is a compound joint, composed of four articulating surfaces:
articular facets of the temporal bone
articular facets of the mandibular condyle
superior surface of the articular disk
inferior surface of the articular disk.
The articular disk divides the joint into two compartments. The lower compartment permits hinge motion or rotation and hence is termed ginglymoid.
The superior compartment permits sliding (or translatory) movements and is therefore called arthrodial. Hence the temporomandibular joint as a whole can be termed ginglymoarthrodial.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapyDr. Sumit KUMAR
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.
PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s PerspectiveGolden Helix
Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, we’ve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your lab’s goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings.
The purpose of this webcast is to:
Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis.
Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting.
Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples. Please join us for a session dedicated to the application of star allele genotyping and subsequent PGx workflows in our VarSeq software.
Are you looking for a long-lasting solution to your missing tooth?
Dental implants are the most common type of method for replacing the missing tooth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are surgically placed in the jawbone. In layman’s terms, a dental implant is similar to the natural root of the tooth. It offers a stable foundation for the artificial tooth giving it the look, feel, and function similar to the natural tooth.

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort.
Summer is a time for fun in the sun, but the heat and humidity can also wreak havoc on your skin. From itchy rashes to unwanted pigmentation, several skin conditions become more prevalent during these warmer months.
2. Definition
According to Dorland’s medical dictionaryStomatognathic - stomato (mouth) + gnathic
(jaws) which means mouth & the jaws
collectively forms stomatognathic system.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
4. Introduction
Bones form the basic underlying structure of the
stomatognathic system.
Three main bones make up the skeletal portion of the
stomatognathic system- the maxilla, the mandible,
and a portion of the temporal bone of the skull.
The maxilla and mandible are the bones that hold the
teeth, while the temporal bone is the site of the
mandible’s articulation with the skull.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
5.
Muscles move the mandible
Contacting bony surfaces, upholstered with
avascular, dense, fibrous connective tissue
influence the direction of the mandible’s
movements
Ligaments limit the mandibles range of
motion, acting as a leash to restrain it from
travelling too far.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
7. •Maxilla & mandible are derived
from 1st pharyngeal arch.
Muscles of mastication are
derived from mesoderm of 1st
branchial arch
www.indiandentalacademy.com
8. The Mandible
The mandible forms the lower part of our face. It is
suspended from the skull by muscles, ligaments and
soft tissues, and doesn’t itself attach bone-to-bone to
the maxilla, but hangs in space.
U-shaped bone, contains mandibular teeth in alveolar
process.
Suspended from skull by muscles & ligaments.
Major structural parts- condyle, coronoid process,
ramus, angle, alveolar process, mental protuberance.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
11. The Condyle
Articular portion of the mandibleConsists of a neck- head & the articular
surface
Head of the condyle
Oblong (football shaped), convex in all
directions, but more curvature anteroposteriorly
15-20 mm wide medio-laterally, 8-10mm
antero-posteriorly.
2 poles- medial & lateral- medial larger.
Posterior part of articular surface larger
than anterior.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
12. Mandible- looking down from above.
The condyles are aligned at 90
degrees to the top of the ramus, but
due to the flaring out of the
mandible at the posterior,they are
positioned such that the medial pole
is more posterior than the lateral
pole is- they make an angle to the
horizontal that runs posteriorly at
the medial aspect. Lines going
through the poles of the condyles
aim at the anterior edge of the
foramen magnum of the skull.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
13. The Maxilla
Composes most of upper part of face &
contains maxillary teeth.
Fused to skull & hence non-mobile.
Major intra-oral parts- alveolar process, palatal
process, incisive foramen, mid-palatal suture,
maxillary tuberosity.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
14.
The body of the maxilla has four
surfaces:
Anterior or facial surface
Posterior or infratemporal surface
Superior or orbital surface.
Medial or nasal surface.
It has four processes:
Frontal.
Zygomatic.
Alveolar.
Palatine.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
15. The Temporal Bone
Part of the skull with
which the mandible
articulates.
Condyle articulates with
concave mandibular
fossa.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
16. The Temporomandibular Joint
Main functional parts are mandibular
condyle, mandibular fossa & articular disc.
Ginglymoarthrodial joint- allows hinging
and gliding motions.
Classified as compound joint- articular disc
functions as a third, non-ossified bone.
Articular surfaces covered with dense,
fibrous connective tissue.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
21. Condyle/Disc Assembly
Condyle, articular disc & mandibular fossa
surrounded by soft tissue attachments.
Attachments aid in structure of joint,
positioning and function of joint
components.
It consist of ligamentous attachments,
elastic and collagenous connective tissue
attachments and muscle attachment .
www.indiandentalacademy.com
22. LIGAMENTS
Bands of non-elastic collagenous tissue.
Function to passively limit range of movement
& protect joint structures.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
27. Temporomandibular Ligament
Outer Oblique Portion
– articular eminence to neck of
condyle
– limits opening of mouth
– influences nature of opening
movement
Inner Horizontal Portion
– articular eminence to head of
condyle & disc
– limits posterior movement
Both are closely related
physically with capsular
ligament
www.indiandentalacademy.com
28. Accessory Ligaments
Sphenomandibular Ligament
• Medial view
– sphenoid bone to lingula.
– non-functional
Stylomandibular Ligament
– styloid process to angle of
mandible
– limits protrusive
movement
www.indiandentalacademy.com
30. Joint Cavities
TMJ is divided into 2
distinct joint cavities by
articular disc and ligaments:
Superior joint cavity
– Between articular disc &
mandibular fossa
– Responsible for gliding
movements
Inferior joint cavity
– Space between articular disc
& condyle
– Responsible for hinging
movements

Blood supplyBranches from
superficial temporal and
maxillary arteries. Veins

Nerve supplyAuriculotemporal nerve
and massetric nerve.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
34. Muscles
Muscle fibers grouped into motor units.
Motor unit consists of a group of muscle
fibers all innervated by 1 motor neuron.
Functional unit of muscles
Number of muscle fibers per neuron varies
according to function of muscle
fewer fibers/neuron= less force, greater
precision of movement- e.g. lateral pterygoid
more fibers/neuron= greater force of
www.indiandentalacademy.com
movement, less precision- e.g. masseter
35. Actions of Muscles
3 types of muscle action:
Isotonic- overall muscle length shortens
during contraction- primary movement.
Isometric- overall muscle length does not
shorten during contraction- develops force,
but no movement- stabilization & fixation.
Controlled relaxation- slow, smooth,
relaxation and lengthening of previously
contracted muscle- coordination of
movements.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
36. The origin can be thought of as generally being the
more stable, more “fixed” end of the muscle, and
when the muscle contracts, it pulls the part at the
insertion towards it.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
37. MASTICATION
Mastication (chewing) is the first
movement of the digestive tract.
Importance of mastication.
The coarse chunks of food are broken
down to smaller particles. This
breaking down has the following
advantages
(i) It increases the surface area .
(ii) In case of some vegetable foods,
where the surface coating of the food
is made up of cellulose or
hemicellulose, mastication causes
exposure of the inner digestible
material. The cellulose or
hemicellulose is indigestible in human
di-gestive system but the noncellulose
inner material is digesti-ble. Thus
digestion is facilitated
(iii) It helps in the flow of saliva
(iv) It helps in subsequent deglutition.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
38.
The teeth are designed for chewing, the anterior teeth
(incisors) providing a strong cutting action and the posterior
teeth (molars), a grinding action. All the jaw muscles working
together can close the teeth with a force as great as 55 pounds
on the incisors and 200 pounds on the molars.
Much of the chewing process is caused by a chewing reflexThe presence of a bolus of food in the mouth at first initiates
reflex inhibition of the muscles of mastication, which allows
the lower jaw to drop. The drop in turn initiates a stretch reflex
of the jaw muscles that leads to rebound contraction. This
automatically raises the jaw to cause closure of the teeeth, but
it also compresses the bolus again against the linings of the
mouth, which inhibits the jaw muscles once again, allowing
the jaw to drop and rebound another time; this is repeated
again and again.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
39. EQUILIBRIUM THEORY
States that an object subjected to unequal force will be
accelerated and thereby will move to different position in
space. It follows that if any object is subjected to a set of
force but remains in the same position those forces must be
in a balance or equilibrium . From this perspective the
dentition is obviously in equilibrium since the teeth are
subjected to variety of forces but don’t move to a new
location under usual circumstances
The duration of force is more important than its magnitude,
due to its biological effect.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
40. MUSCULAR WEAKNESS
SYNDROME
• Causes mandible to
drop down away from
the facial skeleton
• Distortion of facial
proportions, increased
facial height
• Excessive eruption of
posterior teeth,
narrowing of maxillary
arch and anterior open
bite.

42.
Protrusion – Lateral & medial pterygoids.
Retraction – Temporalis (post fibers).
Lateral or side to side movement - Medial &
lateral pterygoids together.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
43. Muscles of mastication
There are several different groups of muscles
associated with the masticatory system- some are
directly involved with mandibular function, others are
accessory in nature and just help out.
The muscles of mastication are the primary functional
muscles that perform the majority of mandibular
movements. The suprahyoid group contains the
muscles responsible for mouth opening, along with
others , the infrahyoids, help to co-ordinate
mandibular function. The posterior neck musculature
is active in stabilizing and balancing the head, allowing
the other muscleswww.indiandentalacademy.com to perform the many
to work together
complicated movements that are possible.
47.
A study was done by( Gedrange T etal J Appl Gnet 46
,2005) to determine the myosine heavy chain proteins
(MyHC) and MyHC mRNA in masseter muscles of
patients with different mandibular positions. 10
patients were selected with distal and mesial
malocclusion, and amount of MyHC and its different
isoforms was determined by western blot essay and
PCR. The anterior part of masseter muscle showed
more type i and 2x myhc in distal occlusion than in
the mesial occlusion.

63. • A study done by Jung MH et al (Am J Orthod
Dentofacial 2003 Jan) to evaluate the influence of
force of orbicularis muscle on the incisor position
and craniofacial morphology where average and
maximum upper lip force was determined by a device
‘y’ meter. The skeletal structure and the incisal
angulation were recorded by lateral cephalogram. The
result showed that the upper incisor proclination was
significantly related to the magnitude of the
orbicularis oris force. So the disuse atrophy of
orbicularis might be an significant factor in the
development of malocclusion.

Swallowing (Deglutition)
Swallowing is a complicated mechanism, principally
because the pharynx subserves respiration as well as
swallowing. The pharynx is converted for only a few
seconds at a time into a tract for propulsion of food. It
is especially important that respiration not be
compromised because of swallowing.
In general, swallowing can be divided into(1) Voluntary stage.
(2) Pharyngeal stage.
(3) Esophageal stage.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
86.
Effect of the Pharyngeal Stage of Swallowing on
RespirationThe entire pharyngeal stage of swallowing usually
occurs in less than 6 seconds, thereby interrupting
respiration for only a fraction of a usual respiratory
cycle. The swallowing center specifically inhibits the
respiratory center of the medulla during this time,
halting respiration at any point in its cycle to allow
swallowing to proceed. Yet even while a person is
talking, swallowing interrupts respiration for such a
short time that it is hardly noticeable.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
87. • Voluntary Stage of SwallowingWhen the food is ready for swallowing, it is
"voluntarily" squeezed or rolled posteriorly
into the pharynx by pressure of the tongue
upward and backward against the palate. From
here on swallowing becomes entirely or almost
entirely automatic and cannot be stopped.

88. • Pharyngeal Stage of SwallowingAs the bolus of food enters the posterior mouth and
pharynx stimulates epithelial swallowing receptor
areas all around the opening of the pharynx,
especially on the tonsillar pillars, and sends impulses
from the trigeminal and glossopharyngeal nerves into
the medulla oblongata cither into or closely
associated with the tractus solitarius which receives
essentially all sensory impulses from the mouth
which initiate a series of automatic pharyngeal
muscle contractions. The trachea is closed, the
esophagus is opened, and a fast peristaltic wave
initiated by the nervous system of the pharynx forces
the bolus to pass into the upper esophagus, the entire
process occurring in less than 2 seconds.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
89. • Esophageal Stage of Swallowing
The esophagus functions primarily to conduct food
rapidly from the pharynx to the stomach, and its
movements are organized specifically for this function.
The esophagus normally exhibits two types of peristaltic movements: primary peristalsis and secondary
peristalsis. Primary peristalsis is simply continuation
of the peristaltic wave that begins in the pharynx and
spreads into the esophagus during the pharyngeal stage
of swallowing. This wave passes all the way from the
pharynx to the stomach in about 5 to 10 seconds. Food
swallowed by a person who is in the upright position is
usually transmitted to the lower end of the esophagus
even more rapidly than the peristaltic wave itself, in
about 5 to 8 seconds, because of the additional effect of
gravity pulling thewww.indiandentalacademy.com
food downward.
90. • If the primary peristaltic wave fails to move
into the stomach all the food that has entered
the esophagus secondary peristaltic waves
result from distention of the esophagus itself
by the retained food; these waves continue
until all the food has emptied into the stomach.
The secondary peristaltic waves are initiated
partly by intrinsic neural circuits in the
myenteric nervous system and partly by
reflexes that begin in the pharynx and are then
transmitted upward through vagal afferent
fibers to the medulla and back again to the
esophagus through glossopharvngeal and
vaga! efferent nerve fibers.

A case report by Dr.Valiathan A. AND Sameer H Shaikh. (J
Ind Ortho Soc 1998;31:53-57) showed the effect of an
abnormally large tongue in producing the spaces similar in
appearance to primate spaces. A 28 year male patient of south
Indian origin was presented with a chief complain of
proclination of upper anterior teeth along with spacing
between the same. His face was fairly symmetrical with
convex facial profile, prominent nose, acute nasolabial angle
and incompetence of lip. An additional lateral ceph was taken
following the administration of radio- opaque contrast medium
to highlight the dorsum of tongue and related soft tissue.
Based on detailed examination of the tongue dimension,
tongue volume, electromyographic activity and force exerted
by the tongue, it was concluded that excessively large volume
tongue and dimension produce excessive force which possibly
causes the malocclusion.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
94.
A study by Dr.Ashima Valiathan & Padmapriya C V was done
on tongue volume & tongue force exerted during swallowing
to evaluate their effect on the dentition. cephalometric findings
of the study group were compared with normal cases as well
as togue volume & pressure were measured. The results
showed an increase in tongue pressure of 33 cN compared to
20.5 cN in control group & also an increase in the occurance
of mouth breathing & tongue & lip habits in the study
group.Thus in the complex etiology of bimaxillary
protrusion,environmental factors in the form of various habits
& excessive tongue force play an important role.

95. • A study by Jeryl D.English and Kamrin D.G.Olfert (Semin
Orthod 11:164-169 2005 ) The article distinguishes between
dental open bite and skeletal open bite malocclusions and
reviews the etiologic factor and possible treatment options.
The addition of light masticatory muscle exercise on two
mixed detention cases is illustrated. The patients were treated
with a bonded rapid palatal expander followed by a
transpalatal arch and a mandibular lingual arch, high-pull
headgear therapy and light masticatory muscle exercises for 1
minute five times per day. A third case illustrates an increase
in the clenching exercises of at least 5 minutes per hour for 6
hours. This patient had changed her mind on orthognathic
surgical treatment plans. Treatment results suggest that
clenching exercises helped to control the vertical dimension
and assist in closure of open bite malocclusions.

97. Actions of Muscles
Action of different muscles is coordinated,
each performing a specific action to work
together to accomplish a given movement
eg. some contract isotonically to move a
part, some isometrically to stabilize, while
others undergo controlled relaxation.
Movements controlled by CNS.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
98. Neurologic Control of the
Masticatory System
Nerve impulses, picked up by sensory
receptors, travel through afferent neurons to
the CNS
Return impulses travel back from the CNS
through efferent neurons to muscle to
produce an action
Most sensory + motor innervation for
masticatory system provided by trigeminal
nerve
www.indiandentalacademy.com
99. Neurologic Control of the
Masticatory System
Areas of the brain involved are:
– Brain stem (trigeminal nuclei).
– Regulatory and modifying areas (e.g thalamus,
reticular formation).
– Cortex.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
100. Sensory Receptors
Detect stimuli and provide information to
CNS
Types:
– Muscle spindles- proprioception
– Golgi tendon organs- proprioception
– Pacinian corpuscles- movement & firm
pressure
– Nociceptors- pain
www.indiandentalacademy.com
101. Neural Control of Mandibular
Function
Movements can be:
– Voluntary- conscious act
– Involuntary- reflex
– Automatic- acquired patterns of movement
- e.g. chewing
www.indiandentalacademy.com
102. Reflexes
Movement takes place without conscious
control
Occurs without cortex involvement
Protective in nature
Results from stimulation of a receptor
Masticatory reflexes
– Myotatic reflex
– Nociceptive reflex
www.indiandentalacademy.com
103. Reflexes
Myotatic reflex (stretch reflex)
occurs when a muscle is quickly stretched
results in contraction of stretched muscle
involved in determining rest position of jaw
Nociceptive reflex (flexor reflex)
occurs when a hard object is encountered when
chewing
results in jaw dropping open
www.indiandentalacademy.com
104. Regulation of Muscle Activity
Automatic movements are controlled by the
brainstem- central pattern generator.
Coordinates timing of antagonistic muscle
function.
Somewhere between voluntary &
involuntary lies rhythmic, subconscious
functions- e.g. chewing, swallowing, etc.
Can be altered by cortical input- conscious
act or influenced by stress, emotion, etc.

105. Temporo Mandibular disorder
• Temporomandibular joint
disorder (TMJD or TMD),
or TMJ syndrome, is an
acute or chronic
inflammation of the
temporomandibular joint,
which connects the lower
jaw to the skull. The
disorder and resultant
dysfunction can result in
significant pain and
impairment.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
106. Concepts of orthopedic stability
Musculoskeletal stable position – It is that position
when the condyles are in their most superoanterior
position in the articular fossae, resting against the
poosterior slopes of articular eminences, with the
articular disc properly interposed.
The most stable occlusal position – It is the maximal
intercuspation of teeth. This type of occlusal
relationship furnishes maximum stability for the
mandible while minimizing the amount of force
placed on each tooth during function.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
107. • Optimal orthopedic stability in the masticatory
system is to have even & simultaneous contact
of all possible teeth when the mandibular
condyles are in their most superoanterior
position, resting against the posterior slopes of
the articular eminences, with the disc properly
interposed. ie- the musculoskeletal stable
position of the condyles coincides with the
maximal intercuspation position.

•
Three most common temporomandibular disorders
areMyofascial pain and dysfunction,
Internal derangement, and
Osteoarthrosis.
Myofascial pain and dysfunction is by far the most prevalent.
It is primarily a muscle disorder resulting from oral
parafunctional habits such as clenching or bruxism. These
habits are sometimes related to psychogenic disorders such as
headache, chronic back pain, and irritable bowel syndrome.
Stress, anxiety, and depression are key features of myofascial
pain and dysfunction.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
111.
The term internal derangement describes a
temporomandibular disorder in which the articular
disc is in an abnormal position, resulting in
mechanical interference and restriction of the normal
range of mandibular activity.
Osteoarthrosis is a localised degenerative disorder
that affects mainly the articular cartilage of the
temporomandibular joint and is often seen in older
people.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
112. Precipitating factors
Over-opening the jaw beyond its range or
unusually aggressive or repetitive sliding of the
jaw sideways or forward (protrusive). These
movements may also be due to abnormal habits
or a malalignment of the jaw or dentition. This
may be due to:
www.indiandentalacademy.com
113.
Modification of the occlusal surfaces of the
teeth thorugh dentistry or accidental trauma.
Speech habits resulting in jaw thrusting.
Excessive gum chewing or nail biting.
Excessive jaw movements associated with
exercise.
Repetitive unconscious jaw movements
associated with bruxing.
Size of foods eaten.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
114. Clinical features
There are three cardinal
features of
temporomandibular
disorders
• Orofacial pain,
• Joint noise, and
• Restricted jaw function.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
115. • Patients describe either a generalised tight
feeling, which is probably a muscular disorder,
or the sensation that the jaw suddenly
"catches" or "gets stuck," which is usually
related to internal derangement.
• Headaches, ear aches, tinnitus, and neck and
shoulder pains are just a few of a number of
non-specific symptoms that are often reported
by patients with temporomandibular disorders.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
117. Myofascial pain dysfunction syndrome
There are four cardinal signs and symp-toms of the syndrome:
(1) Pain,
(2) Muscle tenderness;
(3) A clicking or popping noise in the temporomandibular joint,
(4) Limitation of jaw motion, unilaterally or bilat-erally in
approximately an equal ratio, sometimes with deviation on opening.
Two typical negative disease characteristics:
(1) An absence of clinical, radiographic or biochemical evidence of
organic changes in the joint itself,
(2) Lack of tenderness in the joint when it is palpated through the
external auditory meatus.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
132. Treatment
Non-surgical treatment of temporomandibular disorders
continues to be the most effective way of managing over 80%
of patients.
• Explanation and reassurance
• Patient education and self care
• Drug treatment (non-steroidal anti-inflammatorydrugs,opiates,tranquillisers,
tricyclic antidepressants)
•
•
•
•
Occlusal therapy – (70% of patients)

Behavioural therapy
Surgical treatment – (5% of patients)
www.indiandentalacademy.com
133. Factors that reduce symptoms with
occlusal appliance
Alteration in occlusal condition
Alteration in condylar position
Increase in vertical dimension
Cognitive awareness
Placebo effect
Increase in peripheral input to the CNS.
Regression to mean.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
134. • Study-by Magnusson T (Cranio 4(4):338-344 1986)
A 5years longitudinal study - observed untreated subjects
at age 15 years, & then again 20 years found that
clicking is common in this age group & that clicking can
come & go, unrelated to any major clinical symptoms.
Therefore if patient reports the onset of a joint sound
unrelated to pain and occlusal condition is being
developed in harmony with the stable joint position,
patient education regarding the problem may be all that
is needed.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
135. Conclusion
Anatomy of stomatognathic system is the basic pillar
for any dental clinician whose sound knowledge is
very important; it helps us in diagnosis & treatment
of many oral disorders.
It also helps us in various treatment modalities like
implant placement, diagnosing TMJt disorders,
myofunctional pain dysfunction syndrome,etc.
It’s knowedge helps an orthodontic treatment in such
a manner that the finished result reflects a balance
between the structural changes obtained and
functional forces acting on the teeth and investing
tissue at that time.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
136.
The orthodontist is challenged constantly with the
task of providing each patient with acceptable
esthetics and masticatory function. Although
esthetics is often the patient’s immediate and
primary goal, functional outcomes are far more
important over the lifetime of the patient.
Developing a sound functional masticatory system
needs to be the primary goal of all orthodontic
therapy. No other dental specialist routinely alters
the patient's occlusal condition as a part of the
therapy.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
137.
The orthodontist is in a unique position to
improve or worsen the occlusal condition
while carrying out the esthetic goals of the
therapy. It therefore behooves the orthodontists
to be knowledgeable of normal masticatory
function and the goals that need to be achieved
to maintain normal function. These goals
should be met in all patients, those with and
without masticatory dysfunction.

Editor's Notes
An articular disc is biconcave, like a red blood cell. It isn’t uniform, however, as different areas have different relative thicknesses. From the side view, the anterior and posterior borders are both fairly thick, with the posterior a little thicker than the anterior. The centre (the intermediate zone) is quite a bit thinner- it’s in this centre region that the condyle rests- the disc like a hat that sits on the head of the condyle.
From a frontal view, the medial part of the disc is thicker than the lateral- the disc is thickest in the same areas where the articulating surface of the condyle is greatest- posterior and medial.
The TMJ doesn’t consist of just the condyle, disc, and mandibular fossa- these are surrounded and aided in their functions by a number of other tissues and structures to make up the whole TMJ.
The articular disc is attached at its medial and lateral borders to the condyle by the 2 collateral (discal) ligaments. These help keep the disc positioned on the condyle by limiting the directions in which the disc can move- they allow it to rotate anteriorly and posteriorly on the head of the condyle, but limit side-to-side movement.
The capsular ligament keeps the TMJ in place and the articular surfaces together- it resists forces that would pull the joint away from it’s location. It also has sensory and proprioceptive functions, and produces and contains the synovial fluid found in the joint cavities, keeping it from leaking away.
The outer oblique portion of the TM ligament is a heavier, thickened and reinforced area of the capsular ligament, running from the neck of the condyle to the articular eminence and posterior part of the zygomatic process. It acts to prevent excessive opening of the mouth, and also influences the nature of the opening movement, causing a change from a rotational movement of the joint to a translational movement as it reaches it’s full length.
The enclosed, inner horizontal portion runs from the articular eminence and posterior part of the zygomatic process to the lateral pole of the condyle and posterior part of the articular disc. It has a different function- it limits posterior movement of the condyle and disc, preventing damage to the vulnerable tissues posterior to the TMJ.
The TMJ is a compound joint that functions like two joints in one, and can be thought of as 2 separate joints working together. Each joint cavity is responsible for a different type of joint movement.
Synovial fluid performs two important functions- it helps to lubricate the articular surfaces, reducing friction, and also performs metabolic exchange for the cells of the disc and articular surfaces of the condyle and mandibular fossa, which havefew to no blood vessels. The synovial fluid allows oxygen and nutrients to diffuse in and wastes to diffuse out.
The synovial fluid performs these functions by two different mechanisms- boundary lubrication and weeping lubrication.
Boundary lubrication results from the synovial fluid moving around from one area to another inside the joint cavity as the joint itself moves (eg. like water in a washing machine, or transmission fluid in an automatic transmission). This is the primary method of fluid function.
Weeping lubrication occurs when synovial fluid is absorbed and released from the articular surfaces as a result of pressure from forces created by joint function- the fluid squishes in and out of the articular surface cells due to compressive forces (as happens when the teeth are clenched). This is a secondary mechanism, and is a little bit similar to water or soap being squeezed out from a sponge.
Muscle fibers are grouped together into functional units called motor units. Each motor unit consists of a number of muscle fibers that are all innervated by 1motor neuron.
The number of fibers in a motor unit varies according to the function of the muscle in question. Muscles with motor units having fewer fibers controlled by a single motor neuron have greater precision and fineness of the movements produced, but generally show less force- from the muscles of mastication, the lateral pterygoid is an example.
Muscles with a large number of fibers controlled by a single motor neuron show grosser, more powerful movements, but with less precision- like the masseter.
Motor units function individually by contracting when stimulated by their motor neuron. When the neuron stops sending the message to contract, the muscle fibers relax.
When looking at a muscle as a whole, it can show 3 different types of actions:
The muscle can contract isotonically- the overall length of the muscle shortens as it contracts, and the muscle acts as a mover of the body part in question, like the masseter when closing the mouth, or the biceps when curling the arm.
Muscles can also contract isometrically- the overall length of the muscle stays the same as the muscle fibers contract against an opposing force or object, producing force of their own, but no movement. This occurs in the masseter when clenching the teeth together or biting on a hard object. Isometric contraction can act to hold or stabilize a part during function.
The 3rd type of action is controlled relaxation. This is the slow, smooth, deliberate relaxation and lengthening of a previously contracted muscle. Controlled relaxation of certain muscles while other muscles contract allows for coordination of movements.
For the masticatory system to work properly, the actions of all of the different muscles must be coordinated, with each performing its specific task in order to work together with the other muscles to accomplish a given movement- the complex mandibular movements aren’t just a function of a single muscle contracting.
For example, to perform a given movement, some muscles will contract isotonically to move the part, others will contract isometrically to stabilize other parts, and opposing muscles will undergo controlled relaxation to allow these muscles to perform their tasks. All of these complex contractions and relaxations are controlled and organized by the CNS.
The nervous system controls the function of the masticatory system.
In general, nerve impulses travel through afferent, sensory neurons to the CNS after sensory receptors are activated by various stimuli. Return impulses travel back from the CNS through efferent, motor neurons to muscles to produce an action.
For the masticatory system, most sensory and motor innervation is provided by the trigeminal nerve.
Many different areas and levels of the brain are involved in receiving and processing sensory input. Sensory impulses travel along the trigeminal nerve fibers and enter the brainstem to synapse with one or more of several different trigeminal nuclei. Some impulses, such as reflex actions, may be acted upon here at this level, while others may be sent further on to higher brain areas like the thalamus, which acts as a processing and control centre. Along the way, impulses may be modified by input from other areas of the brain, such as the reticular formation, which can enhance or inhibit impulses- making them stronger or weaker, or the hypothalamus, which controls internal bodily functions and may modify impulses based on this. After being directed by the thalamus, impulses may then pass higher up to the cerebral cortex, where they’re interpreted and acted upon consciously if necessary.
Proper function of the masticatory system is dependant upon the CNS receiving information from it’s various components, both about the parts themselves and about surrounding conditions. This job falls to the various types of sensory receptors, which detect and monitor specific kinds of stimuli and relay information to the CNS. Some of these receptors, located throughout the masticatory system, detect such things as pain, while others send information about position and movement.
The 4 major types of receptors in the masticatory system, each with its own function, are muscle spindles, Golgi tendon organs, Pacinian corpuscles and nociceptors. Muscle spindles and Golgi tendon organs have proprioceptive functions, monitoring length in muscles and tension in tendons respectively. Pacinian corpuscles, found in various tissues, detect movement and firm pressure, while nociceptors detect stimuli and relay the information as sensations of pain
Mandibular movements, brought about by motor nerve impulses, can be of 3 different types, each initiated and controlled at a different level of the CNS.
They can be voluntary- as a result of conscious thought, controlled by the cerebral cortex.
They can be involuntary- a reflex action, without conscious effort, as a direct response to a stimulus
They can be automatic- an acquired, repetitive pattern of movement (e.g. chewing), controlled at a subconscious level, but capable of being modified by, or brought under, conscious control.
A reflex is an involuntary movement, usually protective in nature, that takes place without conscious control in response to a stimulus. It takes place at the level of the spinal cord or cranial nerves, without involvement of the cortex or other higher brain centres. There are 2 important reflexes found in the masticatory system- the myotatic reflex and the nociceptive reflex.
The myotatic reflex (stretch reflex) happens when a muscle is quickly stretched. The muscle spindles send impulses to the trigeminal nuclei, from which motor impulses are sent back, resulting in the contraction of the stretched muscle. An example of this reflex is if a sudden downward blow is applied to the chin- this causes the elevator muscles to contract, snapping the jaw closed. A subtler form of this reflex is involved in determining the resting position of the jaw- receptors respond to the passive stretching of the muscles by gravity, and reflex action results in muscle tonus, keeping the jaw at its resting level. If it weren’t for this reflex, the jaw would fall so far due to gravity that it would dislocate itself.
The nociceptive reflex (flexor reflex) is almost the reverse. It helps to protect the teeth and surrounding structures by causing the jaw to drop open when a hard object is unexpectedly encountered while chewing. The jaw elevating muscles are inhibited, while the jaw opening muscles are activated. An example of this reflex occurs when accidentally biting on a cherry or olive pit.
Automatic movements are controlled by an area of the brainstem called the central pattern generator. This group of neurons coordinates the timing of antagonistic muscle activity for rhythmic, subconscious functions such as chewing and swallowing. These activities are somewhere between voluntary and involuntary- they can be altered by cortical input, whether by conscious acts, or unconsciously influenced by stress or emotions.
