Daignostic consideration for temporomandibular dysfunction with brainstem reflex

本研究旨在探讨咬肌肌电的外感受性抑制（ES）期的定量测量。作为初步研究，检查咬合接触。 从基线到20%MVC和40%MVC，咬合接触面积随着牙齿咬合强度的增加而增加，并且咬合接触点的数量也随着牙齿咬合强度的变化而增加。这表明，咬合接触可能是不同的，在牙齿或牙周组织的潜在影响，在低咬紧强度。另一项研究表明，咬合记录的适当说明导致咬合接触面积的记录基本稳定。

The present study examined the quantitative measures of the exteroceptive suppression (ES) period in the masseteric EMG. As preliminary study, occlusal contanct was examined. The occlusal contact area increased with increasing tooth clenching intensity from baseline to 20% MVC and 40% MVC, and that the number of occlusal contact points also increased with changes in the tooth clenching intensity at a higher detection level. It suggested that occlusal contacts may be different at low tooth clenching intensity with potential effects on the teeth or periodontal tissues. Another study showed that appropriate instructions for bite recording resulted in a largely stable recording of the occlusal contact area.
