Serum creatine kinase studies in mandibular pain dysfunction.
A biochemical test for muscle damage (serum creatine kinase estimation) was used to investigate twenty-six normal subjects, nine normal subjects following experimental bruxism and twenty-seven patients suffering from mandibular pain dysfunction. No significant differences in serum creatine kinase levels were detected between any of the groups.
