TMJ Disorders and Orofacial Pain: The Role of Dentistry in a Multidisciplinary Diagnostic Approach
TL;DR: This work presents a meta-analysis of Jaw Movement Diagnoses and Classiflications and its applications in Dental Evaluation and Functional Analysis of the Masticatory System.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influences of temporomandibular articular mechanoreceptors on functional jaw movements
TL;DR: It is suggested that articular mechanoreceptors make a continuous contribution to reflex control of jaw movement.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of mammalian masticatory mechanisms: progress and problems.
TL;DR: Direct measurement of bone movements and muscle activation in mammalian mastication is now possible, and early results indicate that the patterns are quite variable and depart from the stereotyped versions sometimes reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Afferent discharges from temporomandibular articular mechanoreceptors. An experimental analysis of their behavioural characteristics in the cat.
TL;DR: It would appear that the major articular contribution to the reflexregulation of motor unit activity in the mandibular musculature is provided by the Type I mechanoreceptors, which contribute to reflex regulation of postural muscle tone, to coordinated muscle activity during jaw movement, and to perceptual awareness of jaw position.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neural elements in the human temporomandibular articular disc
TL;DR: The population density of neural elements was the greatest at the periphery of the disc and progressively decreased towards the center, which was essentially devoid of them, supporting the theory that afferent nerves may arise from neural elements within the disc.
