1. Topic-
|
Diseases Affecting the Temporomandibular Joint |
|
|
2. Content-
|
Anatomy and function of the Temporomandibular Joint, Muscles of
Mastication, Temporomandibular Disorder, TMDs, Knowledge of the anatomy
and function of the TMJ enables the dental hygienist to understand
the diseases that affect the joint. Disorders of the TMJ include myofascial
pain and dysfunction (MPD), internal derangements syndrome, osteoarthritis,
and rheumatoid arthritis. Benign and malignant tumors can also affect
the TMJ. |

1. Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to evaluate
scientific literature to make evidence based decisions that advance
the profession at a competent level.
2. Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to systematically
collect, analyze, and accurately record general, oral, and psychosocial
health data, including chief complaint at a competent level.
3. Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to formulate
a patient centered comprehensive dental hygiene care plan based on
assessment, in collaboration with the patient and other health professionals,
while using evidence based critical decision making skills at a competent
level. |

the function of the muscles of mastication with 90% accuracy.
3. Upon completion of this unit, the student will be able to state
three factors that have been implicated in the cause of temporomandibular
disorders.
4. Upon completion of this unit, the student will be able to ask three
questions of a patient suspected of having a TMD.
5. Upon completion of this unit, the student will be able to list
at least two symptoms that are suggestive of TMD.
6. Upon completion of this unit, the student will be able to state

symptoms suggestive of TMD with 90% accuracy.
7. Upon completion of this unit, the student will be able to list
five types of TMDs.
8. Upon completion of this unit, the student will be able to list
and describe the two main categories of treatment of TMDs.
9. Upon completion of this unit, the student will be able to state
the names of one benign and one malignant tumor that may affect the
TMJ. |

5. Materials and Aids-
|
PowerPoint Presentation
Videos
|
|
|
6. Procedures/Methods-
|
A. Introduction-
1. Introduce self. (Minutes required)
2. Present case study example - patient presents for a prophylactic
appointment and during the extra oral exam, the hygienist notices
some clicking of the joints. What should she do? (minutes required) |
|
|
B. Development-
1. Use PowerPoint to present the information about the TMJ and the
diseases affecting the TMJ.
2. Students follow along using handouts provided taking notes.
3. Each of the following topics will be introduced: (list topics from
the PP once the PP is developed and write minutes required after each
topic) |
|
|
C. Practice-
1. Decide on active learning strategy...potentially paired labeling,
paired non-graded quiz, paired role playing, paired case study work,
watching a video or two...(minutes required for each active learning
activity)
2. Students will be grouped into pairs. Working in pairs allows the
students to practice the skill, but also dialogue with a peer to discover
the correct information. During each break students will practice
skill (see development). Breaking the lecture into shorter segments
followed by time to apply the information learned reinforces each
concept while maintaining attention span. Trying to apply the content
discussed gives the students a direct opportunity to see if they truly
understand "� or if the instructor needs to review again. |
|
|
D. Independent Practice-
Minute Paper or student summary of topic on an index card. (Minutes
required) |
|
|
E. Accommodations (Differentiated Instruction)-
Groups that finish early will provide peer feedback to remainder
of students(?) |
|
|
F. Checking for understanding-
1. Student instructor will ask questions at the end of the session
to check student learning.
2. Student instructor will have faculty member and students complete
evaluations to provide feedback. (Include minutes that will take)
|
|
|
G. Closure-
1. Review the major components of TMJ and TMD.
2. Have TA discuss information for upcoming quiz. (Include minutes
that will take) |
|
|
7. Evaluation-
|
Have students complete evaluation of learning (5 min)
Total time: _____minutes |
|
|
8. Teacher Reflection-
|
Was there sufficient time for all sections?
Were the students attentive or bored?
What appeared to confuse the students the most?
Did the students work well in partners?
What was the student feedback?
How did the students perform on the in class assignment?
How did the students perform on the quiz?
