Abstract
The hypotheses that latency or duration of the EMG silent period evoked by a tap to the chin during a maximal clench would be more prolonged in more severe TMJ patients were tested. The mean latency did not, and the mean duration did, increase significantly with increased severity of TMJ dysfunction.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
