  • Investigation of accelerated Chewing and a mechanically-Recorded human jaw reflex

    J Dent Res 93 (Spec Iss C): 523

    Objectives: This study was undertaken to investigate whether the mechanical manifestation of the inhibitory jaw reflex evoked by stimulation of the human upper lip, can be modulated by experimentally-controlled conditions that mimic symptoms of a myogenous temporomandibular disorder.

  • Relaxation and Contraction of Human Jaw Muscles Following Lip Stimulation

    PEF IADR

    Previous studies have established the electromyographic properties of the reflexes evoked in jaw-closing muscles, by stimulation of the upper lip. The purpose of the present study is to establish the mechanical properties of these same reflexes.

  • Restricted Jaw Opening: Knowing how to manage an emergency

    JCDA

    An accurate diagnosis is essential to ensure appropriate emergency treatment of a patient who presents with difficulty in opening his or her mouth. The fast and easy technique described here is less invasive. It is not painful and articular decompression is often accompanied by pain relief. Injection of local anesthetic or treatment by muscle relaxants, which makes the mandibular manipulation easier, is useful only in cases of particularly severe pain. However, this type of manipulation is not…

    An accurate diagnosis is essential to ensure appropriate emergency treatment of a patient who presents with difficulty in opening his or her mouth. The fast and easy technique described here is less invasive. It is not painful and articular decompression is often accompanied by pain relief. Injection of local anesthetic or treatment by muscle relaxants, which makes the mandibular manipulation easier, is useful only in cases of particularly severe pain. However, this type of manipulation is not advised for patients with no posterior teeth.

  • The lateral pterygoid muscle, a heterogeneous unit implicated in temporomandibular disorder: a literature review

    Cranio

    Abstract
    Based on its anatomical relationships, the lateral pterygoid muscle is strongly linked with the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). It plays a major role in mastication. Embryological, histological, and anatomical knowledge define the lateral pterygoid muscle as a single muscle with a penniform structure. The various results of electromyographic (EMG) studies describe a complex physiology with a chronological contraction of the layers during the masticatory cycle. The sequential…

    Abstract
    Based on its anatomical relationships, the lateral pterygoid muscle is strongly linked with the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). It plays a major role in mastication. Embryological, histological, and anatomical knowledge define the lateral pterygoid muscle as a single muscle with a penniform structure. The various results of electromyographic (EMG) studies describe a complex physiology with a chronological contraction of the layers during the masticatory cycle. The sequential contraction of the layers of the lateral pterygoid muscle is the result of a selective neuronal activation induced by the masticatory Central Pattern Generator (mCPG). This neurophysiological theory highlights the essential role of the reticular formation in oral motor control. The sensitivity of those neurological structures to chronic emotional stress is one of the possible explanations for the appearance of oral parafunctions accompanied by a modification of pain perception and a disorganized muscular activation, determining factors in temporomandibular disorders.
