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%.

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.

Regenotherapy in hypotonia of the masticatory muscles
The Pain Clinic, 2002AbstractThe research was carried out on 10 edentate patients who required occlusal rehabilitation with a fixed prosthesis. All patients suffered from muscle hypotonia of the temporal and masseter muscles on both sides or of the masseter muscles only.

Further histochemical studies on masticatory muscles
Journal of the Neurological Sciences, 1980This paper describes a histochemical and histographic analysis of the masticatory muscles obtained from 78 early autopsy samples from subjects from 4 days to 87 years old. Five groups of muscles have been stuied: the temporalis, the medial and lateral pterygoid, the superficial bundle of the masseter and the mylohyoideus.

The silent period duration of the masticatory muscles
The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1989This study was conducted to determine whether the reflex activity of the masticatory muscles is altered in prostheses wearers. The electromyographic silent period was measured on an oscilloscope screen. Thirty subjects were examined. Five subjects had natural dentitions. Twenty-five partially edentulous subjects wore removable prostheses.
