Lack of Efficacy of Low‐Dose Cyclobenzaprine on Electromyographic Activity Related to Sleep Bruxism: A Randomized Crossover Double‐Blind Placebo‐Controlled Clinical Trial

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sleep bruxism (SB) is a motor activity characterized by repetitive masticatory muscle contractions during sleep, commonly associated with tooth damage and jaw pain or headache. Pharmacological management strategies targeting its central nervous system‐related mechanisms remain limited.

Taste perception and muscular response: EMG based experimental evaluation

Journal of Oral Biology and Craniofacial Research
Background: Taste perception influences not only flavor preference but also the physiological processes of chewing and digestion. Each primary taste—sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami—affects specific receptors and shapes masticatory muscle activity ...

Role of β-adrenergic signaling in masseter muscle

, 2019
In skeletal muscle, the major isoform of β-adrenergic receptor (β-AR) is β2-AR and the minor isoform is β1-AR, which is opposite to the situation in cardiac muscle. Despite extensive studies in cardiac muscle, the physiological roles of the β-AR subtypes

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.

New Management in Bilateral Masseter Muscle Hypertrophy

, 2016
Bilateral masseter muscle hypertrophy is an alteration in shape and thickness of the masseter muscles that can modify the width of the lower face causing aesthetic and functional problems. A 21-year-old man was referred to the Department of Maxillofacial

Human masseter muscle studies by magnetic resonance

, 1991
The human masseter muscle is a structurally complex jaw elevator with the capability of generating high, multidirectional forces. The invasiveness of current anatomical and physiological methods has, however, limited both the number and scope of studies ...
