Muscle Spindle Afferent Input to Motoneurons in Human Masseter
, 1999 The H-reflex response in large and small single motor units in human deep anterior masseter was studied to investigate the distribution of muscle spindle afferents onto masseter motoneurons.

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sleep bruxism (SB) has been reportedly associated with temporomandibular disorder (TMD); however, solid evidence is lacking. Previous studies have primarily used traditional metrics, such as the masticatory muscle activity (MMA) index and bruxism time index (BTI) to investigate the link between SB and TMD.

Nocturnal Masseter Muscle Activity and Urinary Catecholamine Levels in Bruxers
, 1980 Nocturnal electromyographic recordings of masseter muscle activity were performed on 20 bruxist and ten control subjects. Each subject collected two 24-hour urine samples. An analysis of urinary catecholamine content was performed.

New Insights Into Diffuse Sclerosing Osteomyelitis: Is There a Role of ANA and Vitamin B6?
Oral Diseases, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Object Diffuse sclerosing osteomyelitis is a poorly understood chronic disease, which appears predominantly in the mandible. Female patients are more often affected than men. DSO is an ultra‐rare disease and incidence is unknown; diagnosis can be very challenging; pathogenesis is poorly understood.

Early development of the mammalian superficial masseter muscle in cynodonts
, 2004 The masseter muscle is a hallmark of the jaw-closing mechanism of modern mammals, acting in concert with other mandibular adductor muscles to fine-tune oral food processing.

Oral Manifestations of Non Vascular Ehlers‐Danlos Syndrome Cross‐Sectional Study
Oral Diseases, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Ehlers–Danlos syndromes are rare hereditary connective tissue disorders; however, their oral manifestations remain poorly characterized in molecularly confirmed individuals. The aim of this study was to describe the oral phenotype of patients with non‐vascular Ehlers‐Danlos syndromes compared to healthy controls.

Veterinary Surgery, EarlyView.Abstract Objective To describe a repeated‐measures model permitting evaluation of up to four implants intended for maxillofacial applications in sheep. Animals Two‐year‐old Merino wethers (n = 5). Methods A retromandibular subparotid approach was developed through anatomical study of atlases, predissected models and cadaveric experiments.
