Context 1
... From the physiological rest position, an isotonic closing trajectory (myo-centric) is identifi ed, which is the arc of closure through the freeway space with muscles at minimal electrical activity [10,101]. An isotonic mandibular closure pattern can be objectively measured and monitored by mandibular jaw tracking instrumentation in real time (Figures 2,3a,b) using with low frequency dental TENS; ...

Introduction
Physical therapy (PT) methods applied in dentistry are increasingly discussed nowadays. Taking into account a rapidly growing number of temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) and orofacial pain patients, it is reasonable to determine which of the available physiotherapeutic (PT) methods are more effective than others, especially in terms o...
Considered as a set of disorders, temporomandibular disorder (TMD) involves several anatomical structures such as the temporomandibular joint, masticatory muscles and attached structures. Its etiology is multifactorial, and the psychobehavioral factor, especially sleep disorders, is relevant in this context. This study aimed to assess the prevalenc...
Objective:
To analyze the prevalence, predictors, and prosthetic complications of bruxing patients with dental implants in two tertiary clinics in Istanbul, Turkey.
Methods:
Patients with at least one dental implant and with a fixed prosthesis were examined for the evidence of probable bruxism. Factors that could be related to bruxism were analy...
The correlation between pain and emotional status in subjects with temporomandibular disorders (TMD) is known. Regardless of that up to date these findings were seldomly confronted with the objective assessment of pain using a digital algometer on the mastication muscles. The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between the emotiona...
