The lateral pterygoid muscle [cross-section] arises from the lateral pterygoid plate and the base of the greater wing of the sphenoid. It is composed of two heads. The superior head of the lateral pterygoid muscle inserts into the articular disc of the temporomandibular joint; the inferior head inserts into the pterygoid fovea on the ramus of the mandible. Two separate actions occur at the TMJ when the mouth is opened.  The mandibular condyle rotates under the disk, and the disk translates anteriorly in relation to the articular fossa of the temporal bone.  When the mouth closes this complex motion reverses, returning the disk to it’s resting place under the articular fossa Causes of Disk Derangement Chronic spasm of the lateral pterygoid muscle, trauma and arthritic changes, as well as defects of the bilaminar zone, can all lead to dysfunction and internal derangement of the TMJ (1).  Two common patterns of derangement are recognized: Anterior disk displacement with reduction and anterior disk displacement without reduction.  The first pattern is characterized by abnormal disk position with the mouth closed, and normal relationships of the disk, condyle and fossa with the mouth open.  Anterior displacement without reduction indicates that the relationships of the three joint components are abnormal with the mouth both opened and closed (2).

http://www.drclaytonchan.com/images/tmj/image-tmj2.jpg http://www.urmc.rochester.edu/smd/Rad/tmj.htm The temporomandibular joint (tmj) is a synovial type joint separated by an interarticular disc. The disc splits the joint into two separate joints. The upper joint (ujc) is between the mandibular (articular) fossa of the temporal bone and the articular disk and provides a sliding motion when the lateral pterygoid contracts and pulls the condyle and disc forward.  The lower joint (ljc) is between the articular disc and the head of the condyle of the mandible. The action here is a hinge-like action, in which the mandible drops, thereby opening the mouth. When dentition or muscle action is not in proper alignment, the joint can be secondarily affected and pain can ensue. This is TMJ disease and requires dental specialists to correct the problem.
