INTRODUCTIONFood is the main source of energy this
energy is derived through the complicated process of digestion.
1st step of digestion is mastication.
Teeth, jaws, muscles of the jaws, tongue and the salivary glands aid in mastication.
Influence of these muscles in prosthetic dentistry.
Defines the borders & peripheral extensions.

DEFINITIONS GPT 8
Muscle an organ that by contraction produces
movements of an animal; a tissue composed of contractile cells or fibers that effect movement of an organ or part of the body.
Mastication the process of chewing food in
preparation for swallowing and digestion.
![Page 4: 46959379 muscles-of-mastication-2010-newer-vwersion](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/55851e62d8b42aa86c8b4b12/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

Masticatory muscle muscles that elevate the mandible to
close the mouth.
Mainly four pairs of muscles in the mandible make chewing movements possible.
These muscles along with accessory ones together are termed as ‘MUSCLES OF MASTICATION’.

DEVELOPMENT
The basic muscles of mastication develop from the mesoderm of the first phyaryngeal arch.
![Page 9: 46959379 muscles-of-mastication-2010-newer-vwersion](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/55851e62d8b42aa86c8b4b12/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

The muscular system develops from intra embryonic mesoderm.
Muscle tissues develop from embryonic cells called myoblast.
Muscular component of Branchial arch form many striated muscles in the head and neck region.

MOVEMENTS OF MANDIBLEMovements that the mandible can undergo are:
a)Depression:opening the mouth.
b)Elevation:closing the mouth.
c)Protraction:Horizontal movement of the mandible anteriorly.
d)Retraction:Horizontal movement of the mandible posteriorly.
e)Rotation:The anterior tip of the mandible is “slewed” from side to side.
![Page 14: 46959379 muscles-of-mastication-2010-newer-vwersion](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/55851e62d8b42aa86c8b4b12/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

These movements of mandible are performed by various muscles involved in it. So, functionally, the muscles of mastication are classified as:
Jaw elevators MasseterTemporalisMedial pterygoid
Jaw depressorsLateral pterygoidAnterior digastricGeniohyoidMylohyoid

17
TEMPORALISIt is the largest among all the mastication
muscles and is a fan shape muscle.
Pennate type.
It has been divided into 2 heads: Deep head (anterior, middle and posterior
fibers) Superficial head (much smaller)
![Page 18: 46959379 muscles-of-mastication-2010-newer-vwersion](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/55851e62d8b42aa86c8b4b12/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Origin: From the
inferior temporal line , floor of the temporal fossa and from the overlying temporal fascia of the side of the skull.
Insertion: Superior border and medial tip of the coroniod process.
![Page 19: 46959379 muscles-of-mastication-2010-newer-vwersion](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/55851e62d8b42aa86c8b4b12/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

22
Its Action is done by
The anterior fibers during function act vertically and elevate the mandible.
The posterior fibers diverge and become horizontal and retract the mandible.

PALPATION
The muscle is divided into three functional areas and therefore each area is independently palpated.The anterior region is palpated above the zygomatic arch and anterior to the TMJ .
![Page 29: 46959379 muscles-of-mastication-2010-newer-vwersion](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/55851e62d8b42aa86c8b4b12/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29
The middle region is palpated directly above the TMJ and superior to the zygomatic arch .
![Page 30: 46959379 muscles-of-mastication-2010-newer-vwersion](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/55851e62d8b42aa86c8b4b12/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
30
The posterior region is palpated above and behind the ear.
If uncertainity arises regarding the proper finger placement. The patient is asked to clench the teeth together so that the temporal muscle contracts and the fibers should be felt beneath the finger tips.
![Page 31: 46959379 muscles-of-mastication-2010-newer-vwersion](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/55851e62d8b42aa86c8b4b12/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
Clinical significance Recording Coronoid process area
The patient is instructed to close and move his mandible from side to side and then immediately asked to open wide.
The side to side motion records the activity of the coronoid process in a closed position whereas opening causes the coronoid to sweep past the denture periphery

LITERATURE REVIEWAntje Tallgren, Dr.Odont, et al. studied jaw muscle
activity in complete denture wearers – A longitudinal electromyographic study. J Prosthet Dent August 1980 Vol 44 (2) Pg 123-32.
Tallgren studied the patterns of activity of some masticatory muscles in partially edentulous subjects & fully edentulous.
The study indicated that loss of posterior teeth causes imbalance in muscular patterns concerning masseter , anterior temporal muscle and digastrics muscle and wearing immediate complete upper and lower dentures revealed inactivity of the jaw closing muscles during the biting actions.
![Page 33: 46959379 muscles-of-mastication-2010-newer-vwersion](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/55851e62d8b42aa86c8b4b12/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
33
Bengt Ingervall, Dr Odont et al. did an electromyographic study of masticatory and lip function in patient with complete dentures J Prosthet Dent March 1980 Vol 43(3) pg 266-71
Two groups of patients having new and old dentures were studied.
The results showed muscle activity during maximal biting was markedly lower in patients with new denture than in patients using the old onesNo difference in chewing activity was seen with old and new dentures

MASSETER
![Page 35: 46959379 muscles-of-mastication-2010-newer-vwersion](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/55851e62d8b42aa86c8b4b12/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
35
MASSETERIt consist of three overlapping layers:
The origin of the whole muscle is mainly from the zygomatic process which consists of :
The superficial layer
The middle layer
The deep layer
![Page 36: 46959379 muscles-of-mastication-2010-newer-vwersion](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/55851e62d8b42aa86c8b4b12/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
36
SUPERFICIAL LAYER
It is the largest component that arises from the anterior two thirds of the lower border of the zygomatic arch.
Its fibers run downwards and backwards and inserts into lower half of the ramus including angle of the mandible.
![Page 37: 46959379 muscles-of-mastication-2010-newer-vwersion](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/55851e62d8b42aa86c8b4b12/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
37
The middle layer takes its orgin from the medial surface of the anterior two-thirds and the lower border of posterior one third of the arch.
The fibers run more directly downwards to be inserted into lateral surface of the middle part of the ramus.
MIDDLE LAYER
![Page 38: 46959379 muscles-of-mastication-2010-newer-vwersion](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/55851e62d8b42aa86c8b4b12/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
38
DEEP HEAD
The deep layer arises from the whole length of medial surface of the zygomatic arch.
The fibers pass downwards to attach to the upper part of the mandible ramus.
![Page 39: 46959379 muscles-of-mastication-2010-newer-vwersion](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/55851e62d8b42aa86c8b4b12/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

40
Action of masseter is mainly to elevate the mandible (antigravity action) and also helps in retrusive movement.
It is the main powerful muscle involved in the elevation of the mandible
![Page 41: 46959379 muscles-of-mastication-2010-newer-vwersion](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/55851e62d8b42aa86c8b4b12/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
41
Elevation(bilateral):masseter elevates the mandible to occlude the teeth in mastication.
Ipsilateral excursion(unilateral): as the origin of the masseter muscle is slightly lateral to its insertion , a single masseter muscle can move the mandible to the same side.
Retrusion: (bilateral): when the mandible is in a protruded position the deep fibers are in a position to retrude the mandible
![Page 42: 46959379 muscles-of-mastication-2010-newer-vwersion](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/55851e62d8b42aa86c8b4b12/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
42
Nerve supply: By the mandibular branch of the trigeminal nerve, from the anterior division(massetric nerve).
![Page 43: 46959379 muscles-of-mastication-2010-newer-vwersion](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/55851e62d8b42aa86c8b4b12/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
43
Blood supply is from the Maxillary artery which is a terminal branch from external carotid artery.
One of the interesting property of this muscle is that, internally, the muscle has many tendinous septa that greatly increase the area for muscle attachment and so increase its power.
![Page 44: 46959379 muscles-of-mastication-2010-newer-vwersion](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/55851e62d8b42aa86c8b4b12/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)

45
PALPATIONThe patient is asked to clench their teeth
and, using both hands, the practitioner palpates the masseter muscles on both sides extraorally, making sure that the patient continues to clench during the procedure.
Palpate the origin of the masseter bilaterally along the zygomatic arch and continue to palpate down the body of the mandible where the masseter is attached.

Clinical Significance MASSETRIC NOTCHOn Denture border :An active masseter muscle will create a
concavity in the outline of the distobuccal border and a less active muscle may result in a convex border.
In this area the buccal flange must converge medially to avoid displacement due to contraction of the masseter muscle because the muscle fibers in that area are vertical and oblique .
![Page 48: 46959379 muscles-of-mastication-2010-newer-vwersion](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/55851e62d8b42aa86c8b4b12/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
48
Effect of masseter muscle on the distobuccal border
A. Moderate activity will create a straight line B. An active muscle will create a concavity. C. An inactive muscle will create a convexity.

49
Activation of Masseteric notch and distal areas.
Instruct the patient to open wide and then to close against the resting force of your fingers.
![Page 50: 46959379 muscles-of-mastication-2010-newer-vwersion](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/55851e62d8b42aa86c8b4b12/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
50
Opening wide activates the muscles of pterygomandibular raphe by stretching, which thereby defines the most distal extension.
Instructing the patient to close against your fingers on the tray handle causes masseter muscle to contract and push against the medially situated
buccinator muscle.

52
Tempromandibular joint dysfunction.
The masseter is most often tender along the central fibers of at its insertion.
Masseter hypertonicity is found in patients who have premature contacts on the nonworking side.
Parafunctions such as bruxism and clenching also give rise to masseter pain that is frequently associated with pain in the temporalis muscle.

LITERATURE REVIEWAccording to Garrett NR, Kaurich M et. al a
cross-sectional study on Masseter muscle activity in denture wearers with superior and poor masticatory performance was done.J Prosthet Dent 1995 Dec vol 74 (6) 628-36.
The results indicated that application of more equivalent force by the right and left masseter muscles during unilateral chewing is consistent with improved chewing ability in denture wearers.

Study was performed in two groups of edentulous patientsOne group consisted of patients who were rehabilitated by means of an implant overdenture and another with an implant-supported fixed prostheses
A decrease in the biting force and clenching with implant-supported overdentures was noted. The absence of a spectral shift expressed a fear of biting too hard and fracturing the prosthesis when compared with implant fixed prostheses.

Belser UC and Hannam AG studied the contribution of the deep fibers of the masseter muscle to selected tooth-clenching and chewing tasks. J Prosthet Dent. 1986 Nov; Vol 56(5):629-35
The purpose of this study was to describe functional behaviour in the deep fibers of the masseter muscle and to define any differences in its behaviour from that of the superficial fibers.
During chewing, activity in the deep fibers of masseter muscle was distributed evenly bilaterally, whereas that in the superficial fibers of the masseter muscle was biased significantly toward the chewing side.

Antje Tallgren, Dr.Odont, et al. studied jaw muscle activity in complete denture wearers – A longitudinal electromyographic study. J Prosthet Dent August 1980 Vol 44 (2) Pg 123-32.
Tallgren studied the patterns of activity of some masticatory muscles in partially edentulous subjects & fully edentulous.
The study indicated that loss of posterior teeth causes imbalance in muscular patterns concerning masseter , anterior temporal muscle and digastrics muscle and wearing immediate complete upper and lower dentures revealed inactivity of the jaw closing muscles during the biting actions.

MEDIAL PTERYGOIDIt is also called as the Pterygoideus internus
(Internal pterygoid muscle).
It consist of Two heads which differ in origin:
The superficial head
The deep head

• SUPERFICIAL HEAD
The superficial head originates from the maxillary tuberosity.
![Page 60: 46959379 muscles-of-mastication-2010-newer-vwersion](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/55851e62d8b42aa86c8b4b12/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
60
The muscle inserts into the inner surface of the angle of the mandible.
Nerve supply of the muscle comes from the main trunk of the mandibular nerve.
Blood supply is chiefly from the maxillary artery.

Action:
Elevation (bilateral) : The medial pterygoid acting along with the masseter muscle are powerful elevators of the mandible
Protrusion( bilateral): The insertion of the muscle is posterior to its origin and therefore it helps in protrusion of mandible
Contralateral excursion: The medial and lateral pterygoid muscle of two sides contract alternately to produce Side-to-Side movement of Mandible

PALPATION
It can be palpated by placing the finger on the lateral aspect of the pharyngeal wall of the throat, this palpation is difficult and sometimes uncomfortable for the patient.
• Functional manipulation is done when the muscle becomes fatigued and symptomatic.
The muscle contracts as the teeth are coming in contact Also stretches when the mouth is open wide.

• Actions of lateral pterygoid:
1. Depression of the mandible .
2 Side to side movement (lateral
movement) . 3. Protrusion of the mandible.
If the Pterygoid muscles of one side act, the other side of the mandible is drawn forward while the same condyle remains comparatively fixed.

Superior Headactive during the power stroke.Power stroke refers
to movement that involves closure of the mandible against resistent such as in chewing or clenching the teeth together.
Inferior HeadDepression(bilateral): depresses the mandible
along with suprahyoid and infrahyoid muscles to open the mouth
Protrusion(bilateral): the lateral pterygoid acting together are the prime protractors of the mandible.
Contralateral excursion(unilateral): the medial and lateral pterygoid muscle of the two sides contact alternately to produce side to side movement of the mandible(as in chewing

PALPATIONSilverman ( occlusion in prosthodontics and
natural dentition, ed 1 1962) recommended the bilateral use of tip of little finger of each hand in the back of maxillary tuberosity and as high as possible to compare the degree of pain on each side as reported by the patient.
Schwartz and Chayes ( Facial pain and mandibular dysfunction ed 1 1968 ) suggested the use of the fore finger in much the same way.
In clinical practice, palpation of the ILP muscle is considered as a useful clinical tool for diagnosis of mandibular dysfunction.

88
For Superior lateral pterygoid muscle:
The muscle contracts and stretches on clenching.
Inorder to differentiate pain arising from elevator muscle, the patient is asked to open the jaw wide.
![Page 89: 46959379 muscles-of-mastication-2010-newer-vwersion](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/55851e62d8b42aa86c8b4b12/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
89
CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCEUnilateral failure of lateral pterygoid
muscle to contract results in deviation of the mandible toward the affected side on opening.
Bilateral failure results in limited opening, loss of protrusion and loss of full lateral deviation.
In patients with nonworking side interferences, the lateral pterygoid muscle on the opposite of the interference is sometimes painful

The insertion of the lateral pterygoid in the articular disc occurs in the medial aspect of the anterior border of the disc and thus it plays a role in the T.M.J. diseases especially internal derangement.
Some of the T.M.J. diseases have been due to an attributed variation of the function and attachment of the superior head as an etiological factor in T.M.J. diseases.

LITERATURE REVIEW
R. Johnstone and Mc cormick templeton studied the feasibility of palpating the lateral pterygoid muscle ( J Prosthet Dent Vol 44 (3) Sept 1980 Pg 318-23) and came to a conclusion through dissections and lateral head radiographs that it is not possible to palpate the lateral pterygoid muscle directly by conventional clinical techniques without applying pressure through the overlying superficial head of medial pterygoid muscle.

. Stratmann U. et al studied the clinical anatomy and palpability of the inferior lateral pterygoid muscle ( J Prosthet dent 2000 May VOL 83(5):548-54) and came to a conclusion that the inferior lateral pterygoid muscle palpation technique should no longer be considered as a standard clinical procedure because it is nearly impossible to palpate the muscle anatomically and because the risk of false-positive findings (by palpation of the medial pterygoid muscle) is high.

ORBICULARIS ORIS:It has two parts: intrinsic and extrinsic part.
Intrinsic part is a very thin sheet and originates from superior and inferior incisivus from maxilla & mandible. It inserts into the angle of mouth.
The extrinsic part is actually formed by elevator and depressor muscles of the lips and inserts into the angle of the mouth.
The orbicularis oris functions is to compress the lips against the teeth and close the oral orifice

INFRAHYOID MUSCLES:
The origin and insertion of this group of muscles have no particular significance in complete denture prosthodontics insofar having any influence in denture borders.
The action of these muscles is important to the prosthodontist, for they are a part of kinetic chain of mandibular movement. Their action is to fix or depress the hyoid bone so that the suprahyoid muscles can act.
![Page 119: 46959379 muscles-of-mastication-2010-newer-vwersion](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/55851e62d8b42aa86c8b4b12/html5/thumbnails/119.jpg)

SUMMARY OF THE ANATOMY AND FUNCTION
![Page 120: 46959379 muscles-of-mastication-2010-newer-vwersion](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/55851e62d8b42aa86c8b4b12/html5/thumbnails/120.jpg)
120
CHEWINGTwo separate acts are recognized in the
chewing process.
First is a combination of prehension and incision in which the food is secured by the lips and bitten by the front teeth.
The second is mastication, the major activity during which the food is mashed between the back teeth.
![Page 121: 46959379 muscles-of-mastication-2010-newer-vwersion](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/55851e62d8b42aa86c8b4b12/html5/thumbnails/121.jpg)
121
The total chewing cycle occurs through three phases:
1. The opening stroke during which the mandible is lowered.
2. The beginning closing stroke during which the mandible is rapidly raised until the entrapped food is felt and
3. The power stroke in which the food is compressed, punctured, crushed and sheared.
![Page 122: 46959379 muscles-of-mastication-2010-newer-vwersion](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/55851e62d8b42aa86c8b4b12/html5/thumbnails/122.jpg)

CHEWING MOVEMENTS AND MECHANICS
![Page 123: 46959379 muscles-of-mastication-2010-newer-vwersion](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/55851e62d8b42aa86c8b4b12/html5/thumbnails/123.jpg)
123
The chewing process generally acts as a 2nd order lever system resulting in compression at TMJ.
The turning moment generated along mandibular body and ramus creates a sheer at Tempromandibular joint.
![Page 124: 46959379 muscles-of-mastication-2010-newer-vwersion](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/55851e62d8b42aa86c8b4b12/html5/thumbnails/124.jpg)
124
Chewing in humans is actually asymmetrical and unilateral.
At the working side:
• It possesses the greatest adductor force, but articular emminence is less substantially loaded.
At the balancing side:
• It possesses the less adductor force and the articular emminence is substantially loaded.
• At the initial action, contraction of inferior head of lateral pterygoid muscle occurs to initiate mandibular deviation to working side.
![Page 125: 46959379 muscles-of-mastication-2010-newer-vwersion](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/55851e62d8b42aa86c8b4b12/html5/thumbnails/125.jpg)

MASTICATORY MUSCLE DISORDERS
Some of the common masticatory muscle disorders involve:
TrismusBruxismTetanusCongenital hyperplasia/ hypoplasiaHypermobility/ hypomobility of the muscleMuscle painsMPDSMyositis ossificans etc.Temporal Tendonitis
![Page 127: 46959379 muscles-of-mastication-2010-newer-vwersion](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/55851e62d8b42aa86c8b4b12/html5/thumbnails/127.jpg)
127
TrismusDue to prolonged tetanic spasm of the jaw
muscles by which normal opening of the mouth is restricted.
Restricted jaw movements regardless of the etiology.
Causes:Intracapsular: Arthritis Condylar fracturePericapsular: Irradiation Dislocation Infection & inflammationMuscular: Tmj dysfunction syndrome TetanusOther: Oral submucous fibrosis Systemic sclerosis Fractures

129
BruxismBruxism is the clenching or grinding of the teeth when
the individual is not chewing or swallowing
It can occur as a brief rhythmic strong contractions of the jaw muscles during eccentric lateral jaw movements,or in maximum intercuspation,which is called clenching.
Causes: 1) Associated with stressful events 2)Non stress related or hereditary Bruxism may lead to -tooth wear -fracture of the teeth or restoration -muscle hypertrophy

Tetanus (Lock Jaw)Tetanus is a disease of the nervous system
characterized by intense activity of motor neuron and resulting in severe muscle spasm
Caused by exotoxins of gram positive bacillus, Clostridium tetani.
CLINICAL FEATURES :Pain and stiffness in the jaws and neck
muscles ,with muscle rigidity producing trismus and dysphagia
Rigidity of facial muscles Sometimes whole body becomes affected.

antimicrobial drugs Active and passive immunization.Surgical wound careAnticonvulsant if indicated
![Page 134: 46959379 muscles-of-mastication-2010-newer-vwersion](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/55851e62d8b42aa86c8b4b12/html5/thumbnails/134.jpg)
134
CONGENITAL HYPOPLASIA/ HYPERPLASIA
It occurs very rarely, and is more common in masseter and orbicularis oris.
Its oral symptoms include enlargement or decreased size of the affected muscle, which may show an asymmetric facial pattern and stiffness in the temporo-mandibular joint.
It may or may not be associated with hypermobility/ hypomobility of the muscles.
![Page 135: 46959379 muscles-of-mastication-2010-newer-vwersion](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/55851e62d8b42aa86c8b4b12/html5/thumbnails/135.jpg)
135
MUSCLE HYPERMOBILITY/ HYPOMOBILITY
This disorder involves extreme or diminished activity of the masticatory muscles.
Its etiology includes various factors such as:Decreased/ increased threshold potential of
neural activity.ParkinsonismFacial paralysisNerve decompressionSecondary involvement of systemic diseases.
![Page 136: 46959379 muscles-of-mastication-2010-newer-vwersion](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/55851e62d8b42aa86c8b4b12/html5/thumbnails/136.jpg)
136
MUSCLE PAINSIt usually occurs as a result of reflex protective
mechanism and myofacial triggers.
It is usually felt as a non-pulsatile variable aching sensation, with a boring quality. It may also present with tightness, weakness, swelling or tenderness.
It includes 3 types:1. local muscle soreness:it is a primary hyperalgesia with lowered pain threshold due to local factors such as stress, injury, infection etc.
![Page 137: 46959379 muscles-of-mastication-2010-newer-vwersion](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/55851e62d8b42aa86c8b4b12/html5/thumbnails/137.jpg)
137
This may be due to:1. distortion of blood vessels within the muscle or2. forceful or sustained contraction repeatedly.
2. Muscle splinting pain:it is defined as rigidity of the muscle occuring as a means of avoiding pain caused by movement of the part.
it is a reflex protective mechanism.
Splinting of masticatory muscle may occur as a protective mechanism in conditions such as toothache, overstressed teeth, effect of local anaesthetics, trauma etc.
![Page 138: 46959379 muscles-of-mastication-2010-newer-vwersion](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/55851e62d8b42aa86c8b4b12/html5/thumbnails/138.jpg)
138
3. Non-spastic myofacial pains:There is no spasm and pain is the only complaint and this is generally referred to structures outside the muscle proper.
it may be due to atrophied muscle mass because of inactivity, illness or nutritional deficiency.
![Page 139: 46959379 muscles-of-mastication-2010-newer-vwersion](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/55851e62d8b42aa86c8b4b12/html5/thumbnails/139.jpg)
139
ZONES OF REFFERED PAINThe masseter muscle pain refers to the ear,
TMJ and the mandibular teeth.
The temporalis refers to the temple, orbit and maxillary teeth.
The medial pterygoid refers to the infra-auricular and post-mandibular area.
The lateral pterygoid always refers its pain to the TMJ.
![Page 140: 46959379 muscles-of-mastication-2010-newer-vwersion](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/55851e62d8b42aa86c8b4b12/html5/thumbnails/140.jpg)
140
MYOFACIAL PAIN DYSFUNCTION SYNDROME (MPDS)
Muscular Disorders (Myofacial Pain Disorders) are the most common cause of TMJ pain associated with masticatory muscles.
Common etiologies include:1. Many patient with “high stress level”2. Poor habits including gum chewing, bruxism, hard candy chewing3. Poor dentition
![Page 141: 46959379 muscles-of-mastication-2010-newer-vwersion](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/55851e62d8b42aa86c8b4b12/html5/thumbnails/141.jpg)
141
Its treatment includes 4 phases of therapy which includes muscle exercises and drugs involving NSAIDs and muscle relaxants.
A bite appliance is also worn by the patient in the furthur stages to ‘splint’ the muscle movement.
![Page 142: 46959379 muscles-of-mastication-2010-newer-vwersion](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/55851e62d8b42aa86c8b4b12/html5/thumbnails/142.jpg)
142
MYOSITIS OSSIFICANS
It is a condition wherein fibrous tissue and heterotropic bone forms within the interstitial tissue of muscle, as well as in associated tendons or ligaments.
It is of two types: localized and generalized.
A. Localized myositis ossificans:• It is caused by trauma or heavy muscular
strains or by metaplasia of pluripotential intermuscular cnnective tissue.
![Page 143: 46959379 muscles-of-mastication-2010-newer-vwersion](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/55851e62d8b42aa86c8b4b12/html5/thumbnails/143.jpg)
143
The affected site remains swollen and tender, and the overlying skin may be red and inflamed.
There may present a difficulty in the opening of the mouth.
management is done by giving sufficient rest to the muscle and excision of the involved muscle after the process has stopped.
![Page 144: 46959379 muscles-of-mastication-2010-newer-vwersion](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/55851e62d8b42aa86c8b4b12/html5/thumbnails/144.jpg)
144
B. Generalized myositis ossificans:In this, formation of bone in tendons and fascia
occurs alongwith subsequent replacement of muscle mass by the bony tissue.
The masseter muscle is the most frequently involved.
It usually occurs in children less than 6 years of age.
It shows an evidence of dense osseous structures in the greater part or whole of the muscle.
![Page 145: 46959379 muscles-of-mastication-2010-newer-vwersion](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/55851e62d8b42aa86c8b4b12/html5/thumbnails/145.jpg)
145
There is a gradual increase in stiffness and limitation in the motion of masticatory muscles. Ultimately, the entire muscle may get transformed into bone resulting in no movement.
Management: there is no specific treatment. The muscles involved are to be excised.
![Page 146: 46959379 muscles-of-mastication-2010-newer-vwersion](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/55851e62d8b42aa86c8b4b12/html5/thumbnails/146.jpg)

Temporal TendonitisChronic strain from temporalis muscle
pulling on tendon that attaches to mandible
Causes sharp headaches in temple just to side of the eyes

Normal function versus parafunction
![Page 148: 46959379 muscles-of-mastication-2010-newer-vwersion](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/55851e62d8b42aa86c8b4b12/html5/thumbnails/148.jpg)
148
The image is demonstrating normal reciprocal functioning of the Lateral Pterygoids and Masseters/ Medial Pteygoids/ Temporalis'.
The Lateral Pterygoids advance the condyles, thereby opening the mouth (depressing the mandible), with the assistance of the Digastric
The oblique orientation of the Masseters and Medial Pterygoids create a sling. The non-working side Medial Pterygoid contacts simultaneously with the opposite side working Masseter.
It is this oblique orientation of the Medial Pterygoids and Masseters that create the functional "shift" of the mandible, not an unilateral contraction of a Lateral Pterygoid.
![Page 149: 46959379 muscles-of-mastication-2010-newer-vwersion](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/55851e62d8b42aa86c8b4b12/html5/thumbnails/149.jpg)
149
In the event the Temporalis' do not cease their active contractions, varying degrees of parafunctions result. The Lateral Pterygoids encounter resistance to their attempts at condylar advancement, thereby increasing their intensity of contraction and strain on their origins and insertions: the pterygoid plates, sphenoid bone, and the condylar neck and disc.
![Page 150: 46959379 muscles-of-mastication-2010-newer-vwersion](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/55851e62d8b42aa86c8b4b12/html5/thumbnails/150.jpg)
150
The degree of frequency, duration and intensity of the contractions of a Lateral Pterygoid is a function of the resistance provided by the parafunctioning ipsilateral and/or contralateral Temporalis. For example, as a Lateral Pterygoid attempts to translate its condyle, it is met with resistance provided by the contralateral Temporalis, thereby causing the Lateral Pterygoid to pull its condyle in a medial direction toward the contralateral contact
![Page 151: 46959379 muscles-of-mastication-2010-newer-vwersion](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/55851e62d8b42aa86c8b4b12/html5/thumbnails/151.jpg)
151
In normal chewing function, the mandible opens, and then, while initiating closing, there is a shift slightly to the side of the bolus, due to the orientation of the masseter and medial pterygoid. There is no "canine rise“ during normal chewing function. Canine rise is mechanism to combat parafunction

BuccinatorOrigin- arises from the posterior part of the maxilla and
mandible opposite the molar teeth and the pterygomandibular raphe, which is a tendinous band between the pterygoid hamulus superiorly and the mandible inferiorly.
Insertion-The fibers of the buccinator pass towards the
corner of the mouth to insert into the lips. -Central fibers of the buccinator cross so that
lower fibers enter the upper lip and upper fibers enter the lower lip.
-The highest and lowest fibers of the buccinator do not cross and enter the upper and lower lips, respectively.
![Page 185: 46959379 muscles-of-mastication-2010-newer-vwersion](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/55851e62d8b42aa86c8b4b12/html5/thumbnails/185.jpg)
185
Function
-Contraction of the buccinator presses the cheek against the teeth. This keeps the cheek taut and aids in mastication by preventing food from accumulating between the teeth and the cheek.
-It also assists in the forceful expulsion of air from the cheeks.

MODIOLUS
The modiolus is a chiasma of facial muscles held together by fibrous tissue, located lateral and slightly superior to each angle of the mouth. It is important in moving the mouth, facial expression and in dentistry.
It derives its motor nerve supply from the facial nerve, and its blood supply from labial branches of the facial artery.
![Page 194: 46959379 muscles-of-mastication-2010-newer-vwersion](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/55851e62d8b42aa86c8b4b12/html5/thumbnails/194.jpg)
194
Formed by two types of muscles:
1.Transverse musles
-orbicularis oris-buccinator-risorius-levator labii
suerioris-depressor labii
inferioris
![Page 195: 46959379 muscles-of-mastication-2010-newer-vwersion](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/55851e62d8b42aa86c8b4b12/html5/thumbnails/195.jpg)
195
2.Cruciate muscles-zygomaticus major-depressor anguli oris(triangularis)-levator anguli oris(caninus)-platysma
Function of modiolus• Prevents food from being spilled out of the
mouth by constricting the corner of the mouth close to the premolars during chewing.
• Helps in biting,chewing,swallowing,speaking and various facial expressions.
Palpation• Bidigital.

CONCLUSIONThe masticatory muscles include a vital part
of the orofacial structure and are important both functionally and structurally.
It can be influenced by a variety of factors many of which are controlled by the practicing prosthodontist namely
During functional impression making Accurate recording of various clinical
parameters like vertical dimension, centric relation
Morphology of artificial tooth Maintenance of arch form
