Effects of 8 weeks of masticatory muscles focused endurance exercises on women with oro-facial pain and temporomandibular disorders: A placebo randomised controlled trial.

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, 2019
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

A review of masticatory muscle function

The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1987
Current 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 ...

Tongue thickness is associated with masticatory performance of perioral muscles: Ultrasonographic study of perioral muscle characteristics in healthy young subjects.

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 ...

Tendon entheses of the human masticatory muscles

Anatomy and Embryology, 2000
Tendons 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, 2012
Myositis 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

Co‐contraction behaviour of masticatory and neck muscles during tooth grinding

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, 2018
The objective of this study was to analyse the co-contraction behaviour of jaw and neck muscles during force-controlled experimental grinding in the supine position. Twelve symptom-free subjects were enrolled in the experimental study. Electromyographic (

[Masticatory muscles. Part IV. The masticatory muscles do not work homogeneously].

Nederlands tijdschrift voor tandheelkunde, 2002
The temporalis and masseter muscles have a complex architectural design with large attachment areas. As a consequence, each of these muscles is capable of producing a large number of mechanical effects. In addition, within each muscle the muscle fibres and sarcomeres undergo different excursions during jaw movements.

Craniomandibular disorders and masticatory muscle function

European Journal of Oral Sciences, 1992
The 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.

[Masticatory muscles. Part III. Biomechanics of the masticatory muscles].

Nederlands tijdschrift voor tandheelkunde, 2002
The masticatory muscles are able to produce forces. These forces may cause movements of the lower jaw. Furthermore, they can be applied by the teeth for the generation of bite or chewing forces. During these kind of processes the temporomandibular joints will be loaded also.

Further histochemical studies on masticatory muscles

Journal of the Neurological Sciences, 1980
This 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.
