An Electromyographic Study on Functional Adaptations. Associated with Herbst appliance.

Temporomandibular Joint Adaptations Associated With Herbst Appliance Treatment in Juvenile Rhesus Monkeys (Macaca mulatta)

This study evaluated histologically the temporomandibular joint and posterior ramal regions in juvenile Rhesus monkeys whose mandibles had been positioned forward with a Herbst appliance. Acrylic splint Herbst appliances were bonded to the maxillary and mandibular dental arches of 20 male juvenile animals. The animals were killed at 3-, 6-, 12-, and 24-week intervals after appliance placement. ...

Troubleshooting the Herbst appliance.

Complications during Herbst appliance treatment.

Neuromuscular and skeletal adaptations following mandibular forward positioning induced by the Herbst appliance.

The purpose of this study was to examine neuromuscular and skeletal adaptations to changes in sagittal jaw relationships induced by the Herbst appliance. Six patients (age, 9 years and 5 months to 11 years and 2 months) with Angle Class II, division 1 malocclusions were studied longitudinally. The structural changes were determined by analyzing serial lateral cephalograms. Electromyographic rec...

Electromyographic study on the effects of an occlusal stabilization appliance on cervical dystonia-affected muscles

masticatory and neck muscles in asymptomatic (Ceneviz et al 2006; Miralles et al 2002) and symptomatic subjects (Santander et al 1994; Miralles et al 1992), showing that temporary changes in the mandible position influences the craniocervical system. Electromyography (EMG) is performed to investigate the electrical activity of the muscles affected by CD for diagnostic purposes, a proper selecti...
