Pressure pain thresholds are routinely used in orofacial pain research to evaluate the response of deep orofacial tissues to mechanical stimulation. Like other psychophysical measurements, however, this technique must stimulate cutaneous tissues before stimulating deeper tissues. This study aimed at evaluating the influence of the cutaneous hypoesthesia on the pressure pain threshold in 30 healthy volunteers. PPTs were determined with electric pressure algometry over masseter, temporalis anterior, sternocleidomastoid, and trapezius muscle before and after skin hypoesthesia. A local anesthetic cream and a control cream were applied following a placebo-controlled double-blind design and PPTs were reassessed. Two examiners measured PPTs two times on each muscles, randomly. And the EMG activity of all muscles were measured to evaluate the relationship with PPTs. The collected data were processed by SAS/STAT program. The obtained results were as follows : 1. There were a tendency to increase PPTs after than before cutaneous hypoesthesia, but, there were no significant difference statistically. 2. PPTs were consistently higher in anterior temporalis than in masseter muscle. 3. In all occasions, PPTs were higher in males than in females(p<0.001). 4. A statistically significant correlation was obtained from values of intra-examiners and inter-examiners in all measured muscles. 5. A significantly positive correlation was not found between PPT and functional EMG activity.

In order to observe the effect of mandibular orthopedic repositioning appliance (MORA) on body strength, the author measured back muscle strength with Digital Back Muscle DYNAMOMETER (TAKEI KIKI KOGYO Co., Tokyo, Japan) before MORA, 15 days after and 30 days after MORA in 12 men and then analysed them statistically. The subjects were weight-lifting athletes of Seoul Athletic High School without dysfunction of masticatory system. MORA was fabricated at 1.0-1.5rnm isotonically closed position (Myocentric Occlusion Position) from mandibular rest position (Myocentric Rest Position) using Myo-monitor (MyoTronics Research Inc., Seattle, Washington, USA) and-SVT C-II (Tokyo Shizaisha Inc., Tokyo, Japan). The results were as follows : 1. The mean of back muscle strength before MORA was 150 kg, that of 15 days after MORA was 165 kg (4.43% increase than before), and that of 30 days was 175 kg (10.76% increase than before). 2. There was a significant difference among back muscle strength before MORA, 15 days after and 30 days after MORA (P<0.01: repeated measures one-way ANOVA). 3. According to the result of determining mandibular position for MORA fabrication, mandibular rest position after relaxation with Myo-monitor was 3.2mm lower, 1.0mm posterior, and 0.5 mm left from centric occlusion. And the mean of the amount of lateral deviation was 0.7 mm.

52 Dental students without masticatory problems were selected for this study. They were trained on several mandibular position and mandibular movement exercise, that is, rest position, light bite, tapping, hinge opening, habitual opening, opening limitation, stretch exercise, resistance exercise and clenching. The objectives of this study was to investigate the effects of mandibular movement exercise, especially stretch and resistance, on the experimentally guided limited mouth opening. Muscle activity of the anterior temporalis and the masseter on above mentioned position or exercise were recorded with bioelectric processor EM2(Myotronics, U.S.A.) and the data were processed with SPSS. The obtained results were as follows : 1. Activity of the muscles at rest position were decreased with mandibular movement exercise. 2. Forceful mouth opening on opening limitation increased muscle activity greatly, especially of the masseter. 3. On opening limitation, stretch or resistance exercise was very efficient for decrease of muscle activities. 4. There were no difference of muscle activity between on hinge opening and on habitual opening. Therefore, for muscle relaxation, the two movement exercise can be used interchangeably.

치과에 내원하는 주된 이유 중의 하나는 통증이며 이런 통증 치료시에 장시간의 개구는 저작근에 근육문제를 야기할 수 있다. 장시간의 근피로를 유발할 수 있는 치과진료실내에서의 치료로 인하여 두통, 저작근의 통증, 개구 장애, 저작 곤란 등을 유발할 수 있으며, 통증을 치료하기위하여 내원한 환자로서는 예상하지 못한 다른 국면의 통증에 맞부딪치게 된다. 물론 이악물기등의 악습관 그리고 과도한 껌저작등으로 인해서도 임상적으로 근쇠약감이 호소하며 이에 대해서는 실험적 근피로유도후에 근전도등을 이용하여 연구가 이루어져왔다. 근쇠약감 및 근피로로 인하여 교합양상의 변화를 주관적으로 호소하며 이 상태에서의 근육의 근전도 평가가 이루어져 왔던 것에 비하여 교합의 변화에 대해서는 평가가 미진하였다. 과도한 이악물기나 개구 및 껌 저작으로 인한 근피로가 교합양상에 미치는 변화를 평가하고 감각신경 변화로 인하여 근통증에 영향을 미치는 조사하고자 측두하악장애 증상이 없고 정상 범주의 교합을 가졌으며 교정치료나 3개 이상의 보철 치료를 받지 않은 지원자 총 24명(평균나이 25.7세)을 대상으로 하였다. 근 피로를 실험적으로 유발하기 위하여 이악물기, 장시간 개구 상태 유지, 주저작측으로 껌 저작을 시행하여 근피로를 느끼도록 하였다. 본 연구에서는 전기적 자극을 이용하는 뉴로미터를 이용하여 근통증시에 주저작측 삼차신경의 감각신경을 측정하였고, 근통증을 느끼는 시점에 근쇠약감이나 저작근 기능 장애로 인한 교합상태의 변화를 평가하기 위하여 T-scan II system을 이용하여 교합접촉, 교합력 등을 조사하여 다음의 결과를 얻었다. 1. 근피로는 장시간 개구 후에 가장먼저 느꼈으며 근통증을 느끼는 시간은 이악물기 후에 가장 빨리 나타났다. 근피로, 통증을 느끼는 시점에서의 근피로, 통증의 정도는 이악물기 후에 가장 높았다 2. 최초접촉시의 접촉시간 접촉력은 차이가 없었으며 교두간 접촉위에서 껌저작후 접촉시간, 장시간 개구 후와 껌저작후에 접촉력이 감소하였다. 최대접촉위에서는 장시간 개구후와 껌저작후에 접촉력이 감소하였다. 최종접촉위에서는 모든 실험적 근피로후에 접촉시간이 감소하였고 접촉력은 껌저작후에 감소하였다. 3. 실험적 근피로가 유발된 근육에서의 감각 변화는 보이지 않았다. 4. 접촉수는 실험적 근피로 유발후에 최초접촉위 최대 접촉위 그리고 최종접촉위에서 감소되는 양상을 보였다. 5. 접촉수의 주저작측에 따른 비교에서 좌측으로 껌을 저작한 군은 접촉수에 좌우측 차이를 보이지 않았으며, 우측으로 껌을 저작한 군에서는 좌측이 많았다. 결론적으로 구강내외에 발생하는 일련의 사건은 임상적으로 근쇠약감을 호소하는 경우 교합양상에 변화를 초래 할 수 있음을 확인 할 수 있었으며, 장시간의 개구나 이악물기, 과도한 저작등의 악구강계에 영향을 미칠 수 사건은 특히 치과치료 시에 교합 변화에 주의를 요함을 확인할 수 있었다.

$Sj{\ddot{o}}gren's$ syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by an autoimmune exocrinopathy involving mainly salivary and lacrimal glands. Apart from manifestations due to involvement of exocrine glands, patients with SS can present with muscular and neurological manifestations. Here, we report a rare case of a 59-year-old woman with primary SS, who presented with severe general toothache and masticatory muscle myalgia successfully treated with clonazepam. Although it was not certain that these symptoms could be originated from focal muscle dystonia or neurological changes that are associated with primary SS, our case suggested that comprehensive evaluation including neuromuscular examinations in the oral and maxillofacial area is needed in patients with SS.

Myogenous temporomandibular disorder is a collective term for pathologic conditions of the masticatory muscles, mainly characterized by pain and dysfunction associated with various pathophysiological processes. Among the subtypes of myogenous temporomandibular disorder, myofascial pain is one of the most common muscle disorders, characterized by the presence of trigger points (TrPs). Various modalities, such as ultrasound, manipulative therapy, spray-and-stretch technique, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, injection/dry needling, and low-level laser therapy are used to inactivate TrPs. Needling/injection on the TrPs is one of the most common treatments for myofascial pain. Despite the evidence, there is continued controversy over defining the biological and clinical characteristics of TrPs and the efficacy of injection/dry needling. This review discusses the current concept of injection/needling to relieve TrPs.

The purpose of this study was to standardized and classify the coordination pattern among the chewing side and non-chewing side masseter and anterior muscles, in terms of EMG values on lateral excursion, clenching, and mastication in presence of the non-chewing side. In this study, 25 subjects were selected for experiment of lateral excursion, clenching and mastication and EMG value of the masseter and anterior temporal muscle on both sides were recored 2 times respectively. The bioelectric processor model EM2(Myo-tonic research, INC. U.S.A.) with the surface electrodes were used to record the EMG activity during all experimental procedures. The results were as follows : 1. During lateral excursion on intereference of non-chewing side, the EMG values of the temporal muscle were significantly more prominent than those of the temporal muscle on the non-chewing side. The EMG values of non-chewing side were significantly more prominent than those of chewing side on the both side masseter muscle and those of chewing side were significantly more prominent than those of non-chewing side on the both side temporal muscle. 2. During clenching on the occlusal interferance, the EMG values of non-chewing side masseter muscle were most prominent. 3. During mastication on the occlusal interferance, the EMG values of the chewing side temporal muscle were most prominent and those of non-chewing side temporal muscle were the lowest. 4. The EMG values of temporal muscle of non-chewing side on interferance were significantly more prominent than those of canine guidance during lateral excursion. 5. During clenching on the occlusal interferance, the EMG values of the masseter and the temporal muscles of the non-chewing side were significantly more prominent than canine guidance, but those of chewing side temporal muscle on canine guidance were significantly more prominent than those of interferance. 6. During mastication on canine guidance, the EMG Values of the temporal muscle on the chewing side, the masseter muscle on the chewing side and the temporal muscle on the non-chewing side were more prominent than those of interferance, but temporal muscle of non-chewing side was not different between canine guidance and occlusal interferance on non-chewing side.

Purpose: Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is a common musculoskeletal problem that causes pain in and disability of masticatory muscles, the temporo-mandibular joint (TMJ), and related structures. The purpose of this study was to compare pressure pain thresholds (PPTs) of masticatory muscles, cervical ranges of motion (ROM), and pelvic mobility during gait of subjects with or without TMD. Methods: In this study, pain thresholds and changes in the mobility of the cervical vertebrae and pelvis were measured in 25 patients with TMD and 25 healthy controls. Using a pressure algometer, the pressure pain thresholds (PPTs) of the masseter and temporalis muscles were measured in both groups. A gyroscope sensor with a mobile application was used to determine cervical ROM in the frontal and sagittal planes. A 3D-motion analysis system was used to evaluate pelvic mobility in the sagittal, frontal, and transverse planes during gait. Results: The TMD group showed significantly decreased PPTs of masseter and temporalis muscles compared with the control group (p < 0.05). Cervical ROM in flexion, extension, and lateral bending were significantly decreased in the TMD group compared with the control group (p < 0.05). In addition, antero-posterior pelvic tilt was significantly decreased in the TMD group (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The results of the current study suggest that there are close anatomical and functional relationships between TMD and muscle chains related to the cervical spine and pelvis. Therefore, more comprehensive body posture assessments, especially of painful areas, should be undertaken when studying TMD patients.
