Growth Patterns of the Rabbit Masticatory Muscles
Journal of Dental Research, 1990The post-natal growth of the masticatory muscles in the rabbit was examined. By means of anatomical dissection and measurement, total muscle length, muscle fiber length, and muscle weight were determined in animals varying in age between one week and 36 months and exhibiting a 50-fold weight increase.

Biofeedback: Control of masticatory muscle spasm
Medical & Biological Engineering, 1976Electronic circuits designed to amplify masticatory electromyographic voltages are described in detail. The equipment activates a tape recorder during bruxing episodes. The recorded data subsequently being converted into numerical terms by an electronic pulse counter.

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, 2019
BACKGROUND Mastication is a complicated task that involves the teeth and perioral muscles, such as the tongue and lip. Previous studies have shown correlations between masticatory performance and perioral muscle strength (e.g., tongue pressure) and ...

Growth and allometry in primate masticatory muscles
Archives of Oral Biology, 1984A study of the dry weight of primate and non-primate masticatory musculature permitted possible allometric and ontogenetic influences on this musculature to be explored. Using weight as an indicator of adult body size, all of the masticatory muscles examined (anterior temporalis, posterior temporalis, masseter, medial pterygoid, lateral pterygoid ...

Motor Control of Masticatory Muscles [PDF]
, 2012 This chapter focuses on the brainstem and higher brain center mechanisms involved in the execution, initiation, reflex regulation, and sensorimotor coordination of the masticatory musculature. A brief overview is given of masticatory musculoskeletal biomechanics, but other chapters may be consulted for general aspects of biomechanics related to motor ...

The histochemistry of reactive masticatory muscle hypertrophy
Muscle & Nerve, 1996There are two types of hypertrophy of the muscles of mastication in man: reactive hypertrophy, the more common form; and nonreactive enlargements-myositic, genetic, myopathic, and idiopathic. Reactive hypertrophy develops when the masticatory muscle workload is increased by local bone and dental disorders; such triggers are not powerful but act over ...

Proprioceptive Innervation of the Masticatory Muscles in Pinché
Journal of Dental Research, 1975This study of the masticatory muscles of the primate showed that the temporal muscle contained 107 muscle spindles, 45 in the horizontal portion and 62 in the vertical portion; the masseter muscle contained 70, 58 in the profundus portion and 12 in the superficial portion; the medial pterygoid muscle contained 15; the lateral pterygoid muscle ...

Osteopenic consequences of botulinum toxin injections in the masticatory muscles: a pilot study.
Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, 2014Patients with temporomandibular muscle and joint disorder (TMJD) increasingly seek and receive treatment for their pain with botulinum toxin (BoNTA; botulinum toxin A). Used intramuscularly in therapeutic doses, it produces localised paresis.

Traumatic myositis ossificans in masticatory muscles
Journal of Maxillofacial Surgery, 19863 cases of traumatic myositis ossificans circumscripta, located within the masticatory muscles are presented. Two of the lesions involved the masseter muscle, and exceptionally, 1 involved the temporalis muscle. Three pathognomonic histological zones, permitting the differential diagnosis of myositis ossificans from sarcomatous lesions, are described ...

Electromyography of masticatory muscles in craniomandibular disorders
The Laryngoscope, 1991Patients presenting to the otolaryngologist with complaints such as otalgia, dizziness, tinnitus, or fullness in the ear may be experiencing the effects of craniomandibular disorders. These disorders can involve dysfunction in the delicate interrelationship of the skull, mandible, cervical vertebrae, and neuromuscular apparatus and can present as ...
