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

Familial hypertrophy of masticatory muscles

Journal of Neurology, 1987
Three 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.

Disorders of the Masticatory Muscles

Dental Clinics of North America, 2013
Muscle disorders involving the masticatory muscles have been considered analogous to skeletal muscle disorders throughout the body. However, emerging research has shed new light on the varied etiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of myofascial pain and masticatory muscle disorders.

Individuality of masticatory performance and of masticatory muscle temporal parameters

Archives of Oral Biology, 2018
Mammalian 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 ...

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 ...

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.

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.

Biofeedback: Control of masticatory muscle spasm

Medical & Biological Engineering, 1976
Electronic 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.

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 (

Traumatic myositis ossificans in masticatory muscles

Journal of Maxillofacial Surgery, 1986
3 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 ...
