  • Title: The influence of experimental interfering occlusal contacts on the postural activity of the anterior temporal and masseter muscles in young adults.
    Author: Riise C, Sheikholeslam A.
    Journal: J Oral Rehabil; 1982 Sep; 9(5):419-25. PubMed ID: 6957573.
    Abstract:
    The effects of an intercuspal occlusal interference on the pattern of postural activity of the anterior temporal and masseter muscles were studied in eleven volunteers with complete, natural dentitions. The results indicate that, in man, there is postural activity in the anterior temporal and sometimes in the masseter muscles. The pattern of postural activity is influenced by the occurrence of an experimental occlusal interference, sometimes as early as 1 h after the insertion. After 48 h there was a significant increase of the activity in the anterior temporal muscles. This increased activity persisted until the interference was removed 1 week later and had almost disappeared 1 week after the removal.
