Greene proposed a method for judging the suitability of the mandibular position from the bulging of the temporal muscle. Using his method, we studied the effect of anteroposterior alteration of mandibular position on the building of this muscle. In the temporal muscle, the area suitable for gripping to check mandibular position was, anteroposteriorly, the point 3/5 of the length between the upper margin of the external auditory meatus and the point of intersection of the Frankfort plane and the line perpendicular to it which was drawn from the outer canthus. Vertically, it was approximately at the point 3/5 of the distance from the bottom of the line from the Frankfort plane to the upper edge of the temporal muscle. In patients whose anteroposterior changes in the tapping point were small, anteroposterior changes of 0.2 mm in mandibular position could be detected. However, in patients who had large anteroposterior changes in the tapping point, anteroposterior changes of 0.5 mm in mandibular position could not be verified.
格林提出了一种通过颞肌隆起判断下颌位置是否合适的方法。利用他的方法，我们研究了下颌位置的前后改变对该肌肉形态的影响。在颞肌中，适合抓握以检查下颌位置的区域，前后方向上，是外耳道上缘与法兰克福平面及从外眦引出的与其垂直的线的交点之间长度的3/5处。垂直方向上，大约在从法兰克福平面的线的底部到颞肌上缘距离的3/5处。在叩诊点前后变化较小的患者中，能检测到下颌位置0.2毫米的前后变化。然而，在叩诊点前后变化较大的患者中，无法证实下颌位置有0.5毫米的前后变化。
