Neurological influences of the temporomandibular joint

Efficacy of musculoskeletal manual approach in the treatment of temporomandibular joint disorder: A systematic review with meta-analysis

“…among temporomandibular and the craniocervical motor systems, brainstem, subcortical and cortical center during natural jaw activities (Eriksson et al, 2000;Yin et al, 2007). Although the effects of MMA are classically explained within a biomechanical paradigm, current research points to the important role of neurophysiological processes.…”

Interrelationships between dental occlusion and plantar arch

“…The stomatognathic system is integrated with the brainstem centers via the sensorimotor system, including body balance and coordination control systems (Yin et al, 2007).…”

Osteopathic manual therapy versus conventional conservative therapy in the treatment of temporomandibular disorders: A randomized controlled trial

“…If therapeutic approaches induce appropriate neural plasticity, then it is possible that considerable neurologic improvement of the patient may be achieved (Yin et al, 2007).…”
