title: [Experience in the treatment of pain-dysfunction syndromes by myogymnastic exercises with particular reference to 96 reexamined patients (author's transl)].
abstract: In 1975, a total of 165 patients with myoarthropathies were treated by myotherapy. Through the use of a program of step-by-step therapy, which included myogymnastic selftreatment in addition to psychotherpay and repair of teeth, 77.6 percent of 96 reexamined patients were made free from complaints. Fuller utilization of the possibilities of causal therapy would certainly have allowed a higher rate of success to be achieved using the simplified program of exercises described in this paper. Experimental evidence could be presented in support of the assumption that parodontal damage may be caused to uncorrected sites of abnormal occlusion in the course of myogymnastic therapy.
