EMG-characteristic of masticatory muscles in patients with class II malocclusion and temporomandibular disorders.

Wiadomosci lekarskie, 2019
OBJECTIVE Introduction: A stable state of musculoskeletal system is provided by harmony of occlusion, the anatomy of temporomandibular joints, and the activity of the masticatory muscles under the control of peripheral and central nervous system. Surface

Masticatory Muscles and Branches of Mandibular Nerve: Positional Relationships Between Various Muscle Bundles and Their Innervating Branches

The Anatomical Record, 2018
The masticatory muscles, which are composed of four main muscles, are innervated by branches of only one of the cranial nerves, the mandibular nerve. This muscle group has a variety of very complex functions.

Correction of Malocclusion by Botulinum Neurotoxin Injection into Masticatory Muscles

Toxins, 2018
Botulinum toxin (BTX) is a neurotoxin, and its injection in masticatory muscles induces muscle weakness and paralysis. This paralytic effect of BTX induces growth retardation of the maxillofacial bones, changes in dental eruption and occlusion state, and

Initial fatigue of masseter muscles during the maximal voluntary teeth contraction [PDF]

Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2002
Fatigue of striated muscles is defined as the impossibility to generate the expected or required force during the repeated contraction. During the maximal voluntary teeth contraction in the position of central occlusion the initial fatigue in masticatory

The electrical activity of the masticatory muscles in children with cleft lip and palate

International Journal of Paediatric Dentistry, 2018
BACKGROUND Information regarding masticatory muscle function in children with cleft lip and palate (CLP) is limited. As a consequence, research on masticatory muscle activity in cleft subjects is needed.

Dentofacial Malocclusion in Neurofibromatosis 1 in Finland

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) is an inherited disease that can be accompanied by oral health problems such as caries, periodontitis, and tumors affecting the oral cavity. Also, different maxillary and mandibular malformations are associated with NF1.

Preservation of masseter muscle until the end stage in the SOD1G93A mouse model for ALS

Scientific Reports
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) progressively impairs motor neurons, leading to muscle weakness and loss of voluntary muscle control. This study compared the effects of SOD1 mutation on masticatory and limb muscles from disease onset to death in ALS ...
