Isometric exercises and a simple appliance for temporomandibular joint dysfunction: a case report.

abstract：:During the past two decades investigators have shown that muscle fiber is highly mutable. A variety of stimuli ranging from patterns of use to the nutritional state of the organism may lead to alterations in fiber structure and function. The purpose of this review is to provide the information necessary to understand ...
