“… no habitual medication; age range 20–38 years; report of recurring episodes of nocturnal bruxism as stated by others; it was necessary that someone had heard the subject bruxing as the subject himself is usually unaware of bruxing episodes; diagnosed by two dentists as having obvious symptoms of bruxism as judged by: dental wear, muscular tenderness and range of motion according to criteria set up by Phillips et al . (1989) ; and this had to be their first treatment for CMD. …”

Twenty-three bruxists with a short history of dysfunction were randomly assigned to three treatment groups, MART (Muscular Awareness Relaxation Training), TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Neural Stimulation), and a control group. The experimental time was 4 months, with a total of 20 treatment sessions for each experimental group. The MART group, decreased their left and right pterygoid-masseter and left and right frontalis electromyographic (EMG) activity significantly after treatment as compared with the TENS and the control group. Further, the MART group decreased their number of breaths per minute, increased their maximum opening of the mouth after treatment to a significantly higher degree as compared with the TENS and control groups.

“…This was submitted to the American Medical Association (AMA) for inclusion in its Impairment Guides "blue book." 9 This major accomplishment demonstrated how a solid cooperative effort from various independent organizations could be productive for the entire field. It showed how an alliance of TMD organizations could lead in a positive way.…”
