    Notes: Twelve children, five girls and seven boys with a mean age of 12 years, exercised maximal voluntary tooth clenching until intolerable pains and total subjective exhaustion of at least the right masseter muscle forced the children to stop the isometric muscle exercise; that is, the pain tolerance, or the isometric endurance time, of at least the right masseter muscle was determined in seconds, and it amounted to an average of 100 s. Concomitantly, the electrical activity in the right masseter muscle was recorded by bipolar surface electrodes and integrated, and it showed a significant decrease of 32 % during the endurance test, probably as an expression of progressive physiological muscle fatigue. A large ANB angle was associated with relatively little decline of the contractile activity and a trend not to endure pains, possibly because isometric tension was generated predominantly by muscle fibres with a high anaerobic capacity.

    Notes: A review is given of selected cultural, clinical and physiological issues pertaining to: is human experience of pain. Special attention is devoted to the modern gate control theory of pain as it applies to the sensory pathways of the fifth cranial nerve; that is, facial pains and some of their associated symptoms and signs.

    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: Surface electromyograms from the right and left masseter and anterior temporalis muscles were used to detect peripheral correlates of deprogramming, also known as programming and reprogramming, of jaw elevator muscles. Putative deprogramming was attempted through the clinically recommended use of a leaf gauge, placed for 15 min between the maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth and disoccluding the posterior teeth by about 2 mm. Studied contractile activities were those of postural activity (subconscious, semi-isometric, minimal activity) and intercuspal teeth clenching (conscious, isometric, maximal activity). Use of the leaf gauge did not affect normalized postural activity (about 4%), the duration (about 900 ms) and static work efforts of clenching (about 1200 μV.s), the time to peak mean voltage of clenching (about 400 ms), and the peak mean voltage of clenching (about 300 μV). Activity and asymmetry indices showed that the studied motor innervation patterns were not changed by the leaf gauge.

    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.

    Notes: Six human subjects exercised maximum voluntary tooth clenching and right-sided tooth grinding to determine the onset of fatigue in the right and left masseter muscle. Static and dynamic contractile activity of the two muscles was determined by surface electromyography. Muscle fatigue appeared after about 30s of isometric contractions (clenching), while 30s of combined concentric and eccentric contractions (grinding) induced no fatigue. In the right muscle the contractile activity of negative work (eccentric contractions of mandibular laterotrusion) was about 50% of that of positive work (concentric contractions of mandibular mediotrusion). During clenching an increased number of contacting teeth might have facilitated the contractile activity of the two muscles. During grinding the height of the cusps of the working side teeth might have contributed to a decrease of tension production by the right masseter muscle. Non-working side tooth contacts and peripheral receptors might have facilitated the contractile activity of the left masseter muscle during tooth grinding. Static contractile activity of the mandibular elevator muscles produced high levels of isometric tension and led to masseter muscle fatigue in about 30s. The same duration of dynamic contractile activity, resulting in low levels of tension during positive and negative work, did not induce fatigue.
