[Joint and muscular pathology before, during and after treatment of total edentulousness].
Firstly, the author raises the question related to dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint that should not be considered any longer as an epiphenomenon in patients with full dentures. Then he deals with the diagnostic procedures: palpation and measurement of muscular activity, mechanical evaluation of muscular and articular dysfunction. Finally, he describes the therapeutical aspects of bite guards with their specifications.
