title: [Experimental study of oral hyperactivity caused by mental stress, in particular by aggression].
abstract: 18 patients without stomatognathic symptoms were examined by three psychological tests (Foto-Hand test, Freiburg personal inventory, and Giessen Test). Aggression had had the strongest effect upon masticatory muscles. Various other effects were studied, like ECG, respiration, pulse, tremor, skin resistance, masseter, biceps and triceps. Because of the visible effect upon the stomatognathic system it is plausible that disease in this organic system is to be expected at an early stage.
