Role details and responsibilities: We are looking for a student to create a schematic animation of the temporomandibular joint and its articular disc to help patients understand disc displacement on a patient-based video the Dental school is currently producing. The animation would need to involve the following 3 stages:
1) Normal disc movement – disc moving synchronously with the hinge
2) Disc displacement – discs moving out of position between hinge and translation motions
3) Disc displacement without reduction – as (2) above but the disc doesn’t move back and the joint can only hinge and not translate
Diagrams of the type of disc movement required in the animation can be found on the following pages:
