Short and long latency jaw-opening reflex responses elicited by mechanical stimulation in man

Abstract: Jaw-opening reflex responses elicited by tapping the chin during maximum clenching in incisal edge-to-edge contact position were studied in 10 healthy subjects. Stimuli were also delivered during weak clenching on a rubber stamp, separating the incisors by approx. 10 mm and protruding the mandible to the edge-to-edge incisor relationship. All four central incisors were stimulated simultaneously. With weak stimuli, there was a short-latency (9.5 ms) digastric response which may have had a disynaptic pathway. Ta… Show more

“…Studying the somatosensory function in the trigeminal region might contribute to a better understanding of the aetiology and improve diagnosis and management of oro-facial pain and dysfunction (13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21). In particular, case-control studies using QST between control subjects and patients with trigeminal neuralgia, atypical facial pain/atypical odontalgia and burning mouth syndrome/glossodynia could establish more objective diagnostic criteria for these oro-facial pain conditions instead of traditional techniques like electromyography of jaw reflexes (33)(34)(35)(36)(37).…”
