Earlier treatment with medication and neurosurgery had not been successful. The authors used electromyography to examine the disturbed muscle function and to investigate a possible cause for the pain in the muscles of mastication. The silent periods of the patient's muscles were measured before and after treatment, since it is known from the literature that the EMG silent periods may be elongated in patients with TMJ dysfunction or occlusal irregularities. The coordination of both heads of this patient's lateral pterygoid muscles were bilaterally investigated before and after treatment. Treatment consisted of splint therapy and selective grinding. Oral rehabilitation was also undertaken, beginning three months after the disappearance of the patient's symptoms.","PeriodicalId":79273,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of cranio-mandibular practice","volume":"2 4","pages":"326-32"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1984-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/07345410.1984.11677876","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"17647491","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It evaluates the correlations of TMJ pain, jaw muscle pain, or a combination of these to a number of oral habits, other symptoms of TMJ dysfunction/MPD syndromes, and other physical complaints. The results indicate that each pain location was differentially associated with various oral habits, other symptoms, and physical complaints. It is of particular interest that the study failed to find any association between facial pain and nocturnal bruxism. The article also points out the need for future facial pain studies to use homogeneous subject populations in relation to specific symptom characteristics.","PeriodicalId":79273,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of cranio-mandibular practice","volume":"2 4","pages":"364-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1984-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/07345410.1984.11677881","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"17647494","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

According to regression analysis, the variation of Di was most strongly influenced by reported pain on movement of the mandible and by tooth clenching.Dividing the patients into subgroups according to symptom patterns and diagnoses gave in general only small mean differences, and there was a wide range of individual variation in all groups for most of the variables.

Limited joint movement and weakening of the connective tissue posterior to the disk may worsen the problem and lead to an anteriorly displaced disk. A functional orthopedic appliance made up of a maxillary and a mandibular splint attached by a wire spring is often helpful for gently distracting the joint. This functional distraction appliance will allow the biology of the connective tissue and the joints to regain its normal physiology, and this in turn can help the disk return to its normal position.
