title: Kinesiographic and electromyographic assessment of the effects of occlusal adjustment therapy on craniomandibular disorders by a double-blind method.
abstract: Fifty-one patients with craniomandibular disorders were divided into two groups. One group underwent mock occlusal adjustment, the other was treated with adjustments to remove significant slides and nonworking-side interferences. Both groups received identical counseling. Kinesiographic and electromyographic assessment showed no significant difference between the two groups.
