The postural activity of the temporal and masseter muscles in thirty-one patients with signs and symptoms of functional disorders were studied: before, during and after 3-6 months of occlusal splint therapy. The fluctuating signs and symptoms, as well as the postural activity of the temporal and masseter muscles were significantly reduced after treatment. Further, the coefficients of correlation within pairs of postural activity of the right and left muscles increased significantly. After cessation of the splint therapy the signs and symptoms recurred to the pre-treatment level within 1-4 weeks in about 80% of the patients. The results indicate that an occlusal splint can eliminate or diminish signs and symptoms of functional disorders and re-establish symmetric and reduced postural activity in the temporal and masseter muscles, which can facilitate procedures, such as functional analysis and occlusal adjustment.
对31名有功能紊乱体征和症状的患者，研究了颞肌和咬肌的姿势活动：在咬合板治疗前、治疗期间以及治疗3 - 6个月后。治疗后，波动的体征和症状以及颞肌和咬肌的姿势活动显著降低。此外，左右肌肉姿势活动对之间的相关系数显著增加。在停止咬合板治疗后，约80%的患者在1 - 4周内体征和症状恢复到治疗前水平。结果表明，咬合板可以消除或减轻功能紊乱的体征和症状，并重新建立颞肌和咬肌对称且降低的姿势活动，这有助于进行功能分析和咬合调整等操作。
