Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A new device is described that may be used (1) diagnostically to determine the relationship of the occlusion to tenderness in the lateral pterygoid and other muscles of mastication; (2) to relieve ischemic muscle tenderness; (3) to assist in the reduction of articular clicks; and (4) as a positioning device for the registration of physiologic interocclusal relations. The rationale for the causal relationship between the occlusion and lateral pterygoid muscle tenderness is explained.
