Headaches, particularly pain in the temples, caused by muscle pain associated with the temporalis muscle. (wikipedia.org)
Bruxism3
Several symptoms are commonly associated with bruxism, including aching jawmuscles, headaches, hypersensitive teeth, tooth wear, and damage to dental restorations (e.g. crowns and fillings). (wikipedia.org)
Other parafunctional activity which may occur together with bruxism: cheek biting (which may manifest as morsicatio buccarum and/or linea alba), and/or lip biting. (wikipedia.org)
The treatment was monitored using clinical and instrumental studies, electromyography of the muscles themselves and computed tomography of the TMJ after 3, 6 and 12 months. (bvsalud.org)
Electromyography (EMG) sensors are generally used to record the electrical activity produced by skeletal muscles. (waset.org)
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of strength ramp isometric contraction on changes in surface electromyography (sEMG) signal characteristics of the hamstrings muscles. (waset.org)
Clinical2
MATERIAL AND METHODS: 70 patients with signs of parafunction of the masticatory muscles were selected for the clinical study. (bvsalud.org)
A careful history and clinical examination of the jaw and neck muscles will facilitate a tentative diagnosis that may be followed by the need for additional examinations and investigations. (springer.com)
Activity8
Exteroceptive suppression (ES), more commonly referred to as the EMG Silent Period (SP), can be seen as a brief cessation of recorded electro-myographic elevator muscle activity within a functional burst. (scholasticahq.com)
Since this is the case, one cannot know very easily if the lateral pterygoid is physiologically relaxed with low muscle activity without measuring methods. (occlusionconnections.com)
Needle EMG studies of the lateral pterygoid have been done correlating surface activity of other muscles as reported in the "Masticatory Muscle Function: A Multichannel Electromyographic Investigation", by Paul Koole a Danish dentist/ researcher. (occlusionconnections.com)
In contrast, electromyographic techniques using bipolar (paired) silver-silver chloride surface electrodes placed along the long axis of muscles groups provide data related to the collective electrical activity of a large group of muscle fiber units. (occlusionconnections.com)
Both models were subjected to loads simulating maximal bites on the left upper third premolar (P 3 ) and left upper second molar (M 2 ), under the assumption that the chewing muscles were acting at peak activity levels on both sides of the cranium. (nature.com)
The present study evaluated electromyographic activity (EMG), masticatory performance, and tongue strength in children without and with orthodontic treatment needs. (fapesp.br)
The myoelectric activity of the muscles were recorded and analyzed. (waset.org)
Mandibular3
Results: the masticatory performance was: 71.00% for Natural Dentition, 41.57% for Mandibular Fixed Implant-Supported Prosthesis with Maxillary Fixed Prosthesis, 31.44% for Mandibular Fixed Implant-Supported Prosthesis with Maxillary Removable Prosthesis, 27.70% for Mandibular Implant-retained Overdenture, and 14.33% for Complete Dentures. (bvsalud.org)
Rest position has been defined as the neutral position attained by the mandible as it is involuntarily suspended by the reciprocal coordination of the elevator and depressor masticatory muscles with the maxillary and mandibular teeth separated. (ijrsms.com)
Teeth2
Excessive tooth wear, particularly attrition, which flattens the occlusal (biting) surface, but also possibly other types of tooth wear such as abfraction, where notches form around the neck of the teeth at the gumline. (wikipedia.org)
Previous studies have evaluated the effect of missing teeth on masticatory function 7-9 , but comparisons among these studies are difficult because the methods were not standardized. (bvsalud.org)
Dentition1
Natural Dentition and Complete Denture groups were statistically different from all other groups, with the Natural Dentition and Complete Denture groups exhibiting the highest and lowest masticatory performance values, respectively. (bvsalud.org)
Tongue1
The electromyographic Trigno EMG Systems was used for muscle analysis and the Iowa Oral Pressure Instrument (IOPI) was used to measure tongue strength. (fapesp.br)
Molar1
Here we show that MH1, the type specimen of A. sediba , was not optimized to produce high molarbite force and appears to have been limited in its ability to consume foods that were mechanically challenging to eat. (nature.com)

Study3
The aim of this study was to compare masticatory performance between different rehabilitations for patients with edentulous mandibles. (bvsalud.org)
The hypothesis of the present study was that masticatory performance in patients with complete dentures would be improved by dental implants to retain and/or support the prosthesis. (bvsalud.org)
This pilot study conducted initial research into the bio mechanical responses of human muscles in various positions of salat. (waset.org)
Can TENS relax the masticatory muscles of the head and neck region when EMG studies substantiate after TENS relaxation do not monitor the lateral pterygoid muscle? (occlusionconnections.com)
Function5
In the examination of the masticatory function, although most of the volunteers showed a bilateral chewing pattern, the frequency of this pattern was significantly lower in the hypermobility group (p=0.05). (scielo.br)
Deficient masticatory function often forces an individual to choose foods that are easier to chew rather than foods that fulfill daily nutritional needs. (bvsalud.org)
For an edentulous patient, good masticatory performance is the most difficult function to reestablish. (bvsalud.org)
Testing of a single nerve fiber or muscle unit is of no value in the analysis of muscle function/ dysfunction when associated with myogeneous TMD or that which is associated with the analysis of dental occlusion. (occlusionconnections.com)
The amount of FWS in any individual is mainly an expression of muscle function, its equilibrium, and gravity. (ijrsms.com)
Occur1
5,7 It can also naturally occur from a TMJ click of sufficient intensity as muscle spindles are excited by vibration or jaw jerk, 6 or occur unintentionally due to a deflective tooth contact during normal mastication. (scholasticahq.com)
Dysfunction1
The range of conditions varies from muscle pain being secondary to other diseases and conditions, to being the primary pain condition, i.e., there are no obvious causes or known etiological factors for the pain or dysfunction. (springer.com)
Mastication1
RT can cause inflammation and fibrosis of the muscles of mastication which can lead to reduced mouth opening. (edu.au)
The output from the circuit exhibits electrical potential generated by the muscle cells when they are neurologically activated. (waset.org)
Disorders1
This chapter represents a concerted attempt to provide the clinician with a comprehensive overview on the basic neurobiological mechanisms underlying the many different manifestations of jaw muscle pain and disorders. (springer.com)
Patients1
Aim: To compare the masticatory performance associated with different rehabilitation strategies for patients with edentulous mandibles. (bvsalud.org)
Performance3
Masticatory performance was determined by weighing the portion of food on each sieve. (bvsalud.org)
Conclusions: Osseointegrated implants improved the masticatory performance of all implant-supported groups compared to the Complete Dentures group. (bvsalud.org)
Lower masticatory performance was found in Group III, but the difference compared to Group I and II was not significant. (fapesp.br)
System1
The skeptics have used this argument for years in opposition to the science of neuromuscular dentistry (NMD) and the debate continues as long as dentists ignore the neuro-muscular objective measured science and understanding of this exquisite neuro-muscular masticatory system and how it works)! (occlusionconnections.com)
Position1
The proper positioning of the condyle heads cannot be accomplished by forcing the mandible to its most retruded position or by forcing it to any other point. (ijrsms.com)
Surface2
The lateral ptyergoid is a muscle that cannot be easily be measured with surface EMG. (occlusionconnections.com)
The anatomic placement of the muscle behind the ramus makes surface EMG impossible. (occlusionconnections.com)
This chapter will aid in the diagnostic process and institution of appropriate therapy for masticatory muscle pain. (springer.com)
Mouth1
No. Many children who are selective feeders ("picky eaters") may have weakness or discoordination of the muscles of the mouth or sensory concerns that are preventing them from eating easily. (clarityslp.com)
