An index for the evaluation of 3D masticatory cycles stability

Abstract: The MSI is an efficient method to measure the stability of the masticatory cycles. These preliminary results encourage validating the index on a larger sample. The variability in the motor behavior of chewing can impair the objectivity of its evaluations in several types of patients, including those with TMD. The MSI could be useful to complement clinical assessments, providing data for planning the rehabilitation of masticatory function in these patients.

“…As for the construct evaluation, a statistically significant difference was found between the SG and CG regarding the clinical examination of pain on palpation and mandibular mobility. This result corroborates those of studies that reported changes in mandibular mobility (15,16) and sensitivity to palpation on the masticatory and cervical muscles in individuals with TMD (14,24) .…”

“…Strength of agreement: a = very good; b = good; c = moderate; d = reasonable; e = poor examination of the masseter and temporal muscles is justified by the fact that individuals with TMD, in the presence of lower PPT by algometry, presented higher scores at the MBGR Protocol, unlike participants without this dysfunction, which is in agreement with a study that observed a negative correlation between TMD severity and muscle PPT (29) . Concerning the breathing function, nasal breathing was verified in all participants with TMD, corroborating studies that did not observe changes in this function (15,16,19) . Considering that Peak Nasal Inspiratory Flow (PNIF) measurement presents good accuracy in detecting nasal obstructive changes (30) , this measure confirmed the clinical findings as the participants showed values indicative of normality, that is, absence of nasal obstruction.…”

“…In an overview, these patients may have a perception of reduced masticatory ability or greater difficulty to chew, unilateral mastication, changes in rhythm, pattern and strength, incoordination and limitation of mandibular movements, a longer time to chew, worse efficiency or masticatory performance, less accurate recruitment of temporal and masseters muscles on the working and balancing sides, besides kinematic alterations and less stability of the masticatory cycles …”
