Experimental Masticatory Muscle Pain
Journal of Dental Research, 1987Ten female subjects with no history of temporomandibular disorders performed five exercises designed to induce masticatory muscle pain. Three of the exercises were replications of Christensen's tooth-clenching (1970) and tooth-grinding (1971) studies and Scott and Lundeen's mandibular protrusion (1980) study.

Familial hypertrophy of masticatory muscles
Journal of Neurology, 1987Three familial cases of idiopathic hypertrophy of the masticatory muscles are reported. The muscular enlargement was noted in late childhood or early adult life, was bilateral, insidious, painless and non-progressive. Electrophysiological and laboratory findings were normal in one case.

Individuality of masticatory performance and of masticatory muscle temporal parameters
Archives of Oral Biology, 2018Mammalian mastication serves to improve intra-oral food reduction. Insufficient food reduction creates potential swallowing problems, whereas over-reduction may accelerate tooth wear and increase feeding time. Either extreme has consequences. The study's objectives were: (1) to study the relationship between food reduction, number of chews in a ...

A case of atrophy of the masticatory muscles due to a masticatory habit
European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology, 2002We present a case of atrophy of the masticatory muscles due to a masticatory habit. The patient has had only left side molars for about 40 years. The atrophy of the masticatory muscles was detected incidentally when a brain radiological examination was performed. The patient had no subjective complaints on mastication.

Masticatory muscle pain (MMP) is the major cause of chronic nondental orofacial pain and is experienced by about 12–14% of the adult population, of which approximately 16% seeks treatment. In the vast majority of patients pain is short-lasting or episodic, and only becomes chronic in about 20%.

BACKGROUND Exercises are used to treat temporomandibular disorders (TMD), but they are often assessed with other therapies. Local endurance exercises may alter the resistance to fatigue and pain. OBJECTIVE To assess the effects of an 8-week protocol of

Tendon entheses of the human masticatory muscles
Anatomy and Embryology, 2000Tendons attach to the limb skeleton via chondral-apophysary or periosteal-diaphysary entheses. It was the aim of the present study to investigate the tendon entheses of the temporal, the masseter, as well as the medial and lateral pterygoid muscles, considering the biomechanics and the mode of osteogenesis at the attachment sites.

Myositis Ossificans Traumatica of the Masticatory Muscles
Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2012Myositis ossificans traumatica (MOT) is a disease in which muscular ossification develops following trauma. Almost all cases of MOT are found in skeletal muscle. The authors report in a 39-year-old man MOT involving several muscles in the head and neck, namely, bilateral masseter muscles, the left temporal muscle, the left lateral pterygoid muscle, and

A review of masticatory muscle function
The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1987Current reports of the actions of the major muscles of mastication are reviewed for clenching tasks in centric occlusion and eccentric jaw positions, mandibular opening, and unilateral chewing. The relationship of the mandible to the maxillae in the intercuspal position and, consequently, the relationship of the condyle to the fossa of the ...

Craniomandibular disorders and masticatory muscle function
European Journal of Oral Sciences, 1992The heading craniomandibular disorder covers a wide range of abnormal and pathologic conditions accompanied by orofacial pain and impaired mandibular function, the masticatory muscles and the temporomandibular joints being the structures most frequently involved.
