There is a debate in literature about the therapeutic usefulness of oral devices in patients suffering from Medication Overuse Headache (MOH) or in patients suffering from Persistent Idiopathic Facial Pain (PIFP). From the case histories of 3356 patients, referred to us with a diagnosis of chronic craniofacial pain for assessment of the eventual application of an occlusal device to correct an impaired neuromuscular relationship between the mandible and the maxilla, we selected, following the criteria of the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD-3beta), two groups of patients suffering from MOH and PIFP. All patients of the two groups underwent a Kinesiographic exam and an EMG to evaluate the freeway space (FWS).

Statement Of Problem: An unfavorable denture-bearing area could compromise denture retention and stability, limit mastication, and possibly alter masticatory motion.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the masticatory movements of denture wearers with normal and resorbed denture-bearing areas.
Material And Methods: Completely edentulous participants who received new complete dentures were selected and divided into 2 groups (n=15) according to the condition of their denture-bearing areas as classified by the Kapur method: a normal group (control) (mean age, 65.

Objective: To classify the paths of mandibular movements of patients with malocclusion.
Methods: 223 patients were examined clinically and mandibular Kinesiograph(MKG) was applied.
Results: Each kind of malocclusion has its corresponding characteristic paths of mandibular movement.

This investigation expands on a previous pilot study of the effects of TENS on the resting position of the mandible. The tendency is for an increase in freeway space, but the variability of results makes individual evaluation essential.

A mandibular kinesiograph was used to monitor the movement of the lower incisors of young dentate adults reading a standard text. An interface to a microcomputer which recorded and analysed these movements. As the tracings accumulated on the computer monitor, a characteristic pattern was produced.
