Ultra-low frequency transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation does not affect the centric relation registration.

Objective: To evaluate the influence of ULF-TENS on the displacement of the mandibular condyle and on the repeatability of centric relation (CR) registration of three different techniques: bimanual manipulation (BM), long strip technique, and harmonic centric occlusal relationship (R.O.C.

Severity of TMD related to age, sex and electromyographic analysis.

Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are manifested as a group of signs and symptoms that affect a particular population profile. Some variables such as sex and age influence the clinical expression of this condition. This observational descriptive cross-sectional study aimed to correlate the severity of TMD established by the craniomandibular index (CMI) with the variables: age, sex and electromyographic activity of the masseter and anterior temporal muscles.

Breast-feeding and deleterious oral habits in mouth and nose breathers.

Aim: Breast-feeding promotes several benefits in childhood, among them favoring the nasal breathing. In the present study, the relationship between breathing pattern and the history of breast-feeding and of deleterious oral habits was determined.
