Joining Dr. Stucki once again is Dr. Benjamin Hechler, an OMS practicing in North Carolina. On this episode, we wanted to circle back and dive deeper into TMD and TMJ hyper and hypomobility. The conversation kicks off with Dr. Hechler unpacking some of the common causes behind TMJ hypomobility, the definition of a closed lock (CL) including an overview of acute CL and chronic CL, with a quick reference to the anchor-disc phenomenon. We also look at the different flavors of TMJ hypermobility and various types of dislocations. Dr. Hechler details his technique with awake patients, why imaging would be indicated for TMJ mobility, and then delves into a detailed explanation of his approach to TMJ mobility treatment. To hear more about our thoughts on TMJ mobility issues caused by being in the dental chair, our tips and tricks for avoiding them, and what could tip the scale toward a more permanent management solution for these types of issues, be sure to start listening now!
