Question 321 (part 2) · LDEK · Functional disorders of the masticatory system

In established unilateral dislocation of articular disc without blockage, you observe:

1) the range of abduction of 30-40mm;
2) the range of abduction of 40-50mm;
3) hard abduction limitation;
4) return crackling;
5) sinuous abduction track.
Correct answer is:
  1. A. 1,3,4.
  2. B. 1,3,5.
  3. C. 1,4,5.
  4. D. 2,3,5.
  5. E. 2,4,5.
Hint

Without blockage the disc still reduces on opening, so think about what happens to mouth opening range, joint sounds and the opening path.
