Temporomandibular joint or related masticatory muscle pain represents the most common
chronic orofacial pain condition. Patients frequently report this kind of pain after dental …

We previously developed a rat dental occlusal interference model of facial pain that was
produced by bonding a crown onto the right maxillary first molar and was reflected in …

Purpose Although mechanical overloading of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is
implicated in TMJ osteoarthritis (OA) and orofacial pain, most experimental models of TMJ …

Aims: To develop a rat model of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain and to characterize in it
the development and temporal response of behavioral hypersensitivity as well as to …

Background Masticatory muscle pain may occur following immediate occlusal alteration by
dental treatment. The underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Transient receptor …

The aetiology of temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is multifactorial, and numerous studies
have addressed that occlusion may be of great importance. However, whether occlusion …

Background: A major subgroup of patients with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders
have masticatory muscle hypersensitivity. To study myofacial temporomandibular pain, a …

It has been suggested that occlusal interferences may lead to pain and tenderness of the
masticatory muscles. Tender jaw muscles are more sensitive to pressure pain, as assessed …

Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is a set of heterogeneous musculoskeletal conditions
involving the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and/or the masticatory muscles. Up to 33% of …

Orofacial pain or tenderness is a primary symptom associated with temporomandibular joint
(TMJ) disorders (TMDs). To understand the pathological mechanisms underlying TMDs …
