Method for detection of masticatory muscle activity disorders

摘要

The invention relates to medicine, particularly to functional diagnostics and dentistry, and may be used for early detection of masticatory muscle activity disorders.Summary of the invention consists in that it is carried out the maximum clenching of jaws, afterwards are ipsilaterally drawn oblique lines on the trajectory of masseteric and anterior temporal muscles up to their edges, with the help of thermography is determined the temperature profile on the drawn lines, then are determined the mean values of the temperature profiles, and in the event when the difference between the mean value of the temperature profile of the anterior temporal and masseteric muscles is higher than 0.4…0.7°C, it is determined the absence of muscle disorders, in the event when it is of 0.4…0.2°C, it is determined the presence of bordering disorders, and in the event when it is below 0.2°C or when the temperature of the masseter muscle is higher than the temperature of the anterior temporal muscle, it is determined the presence of serious disorders of the masticatory muscle activity.
