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 ...

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 ...

Muscle Spindle Distribution in the Masticatory Muscle of the Tree Shrew
Journal of Dental Research, 1974Histological study of the masticatory muscles of the tree shrew showed that 140 muscle spindles are concentrated in the restricted areas of the inner lowermost layer of the horizontal and vertical portions of the temporal muscle (48 and 47 spindles, respectively), the profundus portion of the masseter muscle (42 spindles), and the zygomaticomandibular
