Study of Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction

Jaw mobility will be measured during simple movements of the mouth (opening the mouth, side-to-side and backwards-and-forwards movement of the jaw). These movements will be measured using a specific apparatus, part of which will be placed on the head like a helmet with the other part placed in the mouth and stuck to the teeth using a dental adhesive. The part in the mouth is specifically designed for this purpose. Measurements using this apparatus will take around 30 minutes.

Natural electrical activity of the facial muscles will be measured using electrodes placed on the skin.
