Fig 1-8 The masseter muscle can be palpated extraorally by placing your fingers over the lateral surfaces of the ramus of the mandible. Fig 1-7 The joints are palpated as the patient opens and closes to detect signs of dysfunction.
Fig 1-9 Fingers are placed over the patient's temples to feel the temporalis muscle.
Fig 1-11 The little finger is inserted facial to the maxillary teeth and around distal to the pterygomaxillary, or hamular, notch to palpate the lateral pterygoid muscle. Fig 1-10 The index finger is used to touch the medial pterygoid muscle on the inner surface of the ramus.
Fig 1-13The sternocleidomastoid muscle is grasped between the thumb and forefingers on the side of the neck. The muscle can be accentuated by a slight turn of the patient's head. Fig 1-12 The trapezius muscle is felt at the base of the skull, high on the neck.
Fig 1-14 The distance between maxillary and mandibular incisors is measured when the patient is instructed to open "all the way" (A). If the patient can only open part way (B), the cause should be determined.
Fig 1-15 If opening is limited, the patient should be instructed to use a finger to indicate the area that hurts.
Fig 1-16 Rubber gloves, a surgical mask, and eye protection are important for safeguarding dental office personnel.
