This second article in the three-part series on temporomandibular disorder (TMD) devices
compares the claimed diagnostic usefulness of electromyography and sonography with the …

This book provides a comprehensive scientific investigation into every aspect of
craniomandibular muscle function in both human and experimental animal studies. Topics …

Sixty patients, clinically examined for TMJ dysfunction, were also electromyographically
screened. The TMJ dysfunction pain in forty patients was evaluated to be mainly of a …

The enormous amount of literature on jaw function, swallowing, and respiration reflects the
complexity of orofacial function. This article, the last in a series of three, describes observed …

The hypotheses that latency or duration of the EMG silent period evoked by a tap to the chin
during a maximal clench would be more prolonged in more severe TMJ patients were …

During voluntary jaw clenching, a sharp tap to the menton of the mandible resulted in a
transitory silent period (pause) in the electromyographic activity of the masseter and anterior …

The duration of the electromyographic silent period following a tap to the menton has been
reported to be clinically useful in the diagnosis of mandibular joint dysfunction but not the …

The effect of bite force and stimulus intensity on the electrically induced SP has been
studied. The results from the present study and earlier investigations suggest that the …

Recent advances in diagnostic imaging and a better understanding of joint anatomy and
physiology have stimulated development of new methods of treatment of …

Standardized mechanical taps were delivered on an upper central incisor, while the nine
subjects investigated maintained constant clenching levels of 5, 10, 20, 40 and 60 per cent …
