[Headache due to functional disorders of the masticatory organ. Headache due to tension of the masticatory muscles].

Headache in the temporal, frontal and suboccipital regions are described as to case history, findings and differential diagnosis. With due respect to possible further symptoms of dysfunction, the author indicates as principles to treatment: 1. restoration of the continuity of the rows of teeth, and of the occlusal relations; 2. restoration of correct jaw relations; 3. rehabilitation of masticatory muscles.

[Special radiographic characteristics of the temporomandibular joint in functional disorders of the masticatory organ].

The inclinations of the articular tubercles were measured on Schüller radiographs of the temporomandibular joints. They were significantly flatter in patients than in control subjects. Patients having pain showed considerably more frequently right-left different angles of inclination than patients being free from pain. The widths of the interarticular spaces were subdivided into 3 classes as suggested by Kleinrok. Again it was found that right-left dissimilarity (class III) was significantly more frequent than right-left similarity (class II) only in patients having pain.

[Investigations on the prevalence of headache associated with mandibular dysfunction].

The role of mandibular dysfunction in the etiology of headache is still underestimated in the medical literature. For this reason an analysis of own questionnaire investigations published in the years 1983 to 1999 was done. These investigations were carried out in 3915 subjects aged 15-66. In order to determine the prevalence of headache associated with mandibular dysfunction in the analysis mandibular parafunctions and clicking in the temporomandibular joints (TMJs) were selected. The comparison of the prevalence of headache in groups with and without mandibular parafunctions and in groups with and without clicking in the TMJs has shown that the prevalence of headache was significantly higher in groups with mandibular parafunctions and with clicking in the TMJs than in groups without these disturbances. The difference in the prevalence of headache in the investigated groups has shown that headaches noted in the population can be associated with mandibular parafunctions in 18.2% and dependent on the age with clicking in the TMJs in 9.7% to 25%.
