    Notes: Experimental tooth clenching was performed by fourteen human subjects in order to determine the onset of the subjective sensations of jaw muscle fatigue and jaw muscle pains, the ability to endure jaw muscle pains, and other discomforts. During production of maximal voluntary isometric tension by the elevator jaw muscles the fatigue threshold (x̄= 31 s), the pain threshold (x̄= 55 s), and the pain tolerance (x̄= 118 s) of tooth clenching did not vary significantly intraindividually, whereas this was so interindividually. There might have existed psychological relationships between the three parameters, but they might also have been influenced by the same physiological cause. The weak to intense discomforts were localized to the face, and primarily to the jaw muscles, and after determination of the pain tolerance they disappeared in about 90 s.

    Notes: A newly developed fluoride-releasing composite and sealant were tested, in vitro, with regard to homogeneity, cavity adaptation, microleakage, and its effect on the extent of an artificially induced carious attack. Compared with a commercially available composite, the fluoride-releasing material showed more desirable properties in combating caries, in uniformity of internal structure, and in microleakage.

    Notes: Eight children, mean age of 12 years, exercised maximal voluntary tooth clenching to determine the isometric endurance time of the masseter muscle. The endurance time seemed to depend on psychological and/or physiological determinants. The latter might have been Wedensky inhibition, changes in energy metabolism, progressive fatigue and so-called muscle fitness.

    Notes: Twelve children, aged 9–14 years, exercised maximal voluntary tooth clenching until facial pains were experienced and could no longer be endured. The pains were localized in the masseter and temporalis muscles and, occasionally, in the supra-orbital region. After onset of clenching pains appeared, on average, in 49 s (pain threshold) and they could, on average, be endured for 118 s (pain tolerance). The pain threshold varied significantly between individuals, but not within individuals. The number of pain sites, and the number of teeth in contact during clenching, did not determine the moment of onset of pains, nor the ability to endure pains. The pain tolerance did not seem to be influenced by the pain threshold.

    Notes: Eight adult human subjects exercised maximal voluntary tooth clenching until fatigue and pains were experienced, and could no longer be endured, in the right masseter muscle. The integrated electrical activity in the right masseter muscle was determined as a ratio of the different isometric exercises, and it showed a consistent decrease from onset of fatigue, via onset of pains, to the endurance of pains, possibly because of progressive muscle fatigue. The relative muscle activity might have determined the perception of the moment of onset of fatigue in the masseter muscle, and the perception of the moment of muscle exhaustion, but not the perception of the moment of onset of muscle pains.

    Notes: Maximum voluntary teeth clenching was performed for about 1 s to study the interactions between subjective sensory-motor events and changes in the time and frequency domains of surface electromyograms of the masseter and anterior temporalis muscle. Isometric jaw muscle contractions were examined for their speeds of contraction, the total energy content and median frequency of their power density spectra, and for the specific rate of change and the efficiency of their voluntary and involuntary activation efforts. The observations suggested that, in general, brief maximum isometric contractions were not preprogrammed, but rather were regulated by a subconscious proprioceptive feedback mechanism; the mechanism, possibly a transcortical loop, appeared to have a low gain and to be based on recruitment/decruitment of motor units.

    Notes: In clinical dentistry, the sounds (clicking) and noises (grating) produced by the temporomandibular joints (TMJ) usually signify dysfunction or disease of the mandibular locomotor system. In an attempt to provide guidance to the general practitioner, this article discusses some pertinent parameters defining the physics of airborne and solidborne vibrations.

    Notes: A review is presented of the effects of loss of teeth, with impaired occlusal stabilization, on the temporomandibular joint in experimental animals. Loss of teeth, with subsequent abnormal loading of the temporomandibular joint, leads to histomorphological, pathological and pathophysiological changes in the articular cartilages, the articular disc, the synovium, and the bony articular components. The severity of the changes increases with increasing age, and an existing arthritis of the joint is aggravated by impaired occlusal stabilization. The experimentally induced changes resemble those in human subjects with extensive loss or extensive attrition of teeth.

    Notes: An overview is presented of the physiology and pathophysiology of dynamic skeletal muscle contractions in the intact living organism. Dynamic muscle activities are divided into concentric contractions with shortening of muscle fibres and the production of positive work, and eccentric contractions with lengthening of muscle fibres and the production of negative work. In positive work, muscle tension overcomes external forces. In negative work, external forces overcome muscle tension. The latter phenomenon, with relatively few active motor units, explains the injuries induced by eccentric contractions. Both the contractile and non-contractile elements are involved in the muscle injuries and, clinically, they are referred to as myofibrositis.

    Notes: An overview is presented of the physiology and so-called pathophysiology of static muscle contractions in the intact living organism. Static muscle activity produces no external mechanophysical work, but is used for fixation. Contingent upon the levels of the generated forces, and the duration of the isometric contractions, static activities give rise to fatigue and pains. The discomforts are viewed as somatic responses that are normally within physiological limits. That is, upon cessation of isometric contractions there is usually rapid recovery from the discomforts, and they do not normally induce chronic lesions.
