Abstract
Subjects with TMD exhibited similar values of MBF, thickness and electrical activity of masticatory and cervical muscles when compared with controls; positive correlations observed between these variables may suggest a muscular alteration in TMD patients and a co-activation of masticatory and cervical muscles during mandibular movement. This fact may also be confirmed by the negative association between bite forces and presence of TMD.
