Abstract
Commonly encountered disorders of the temporomandibular joint have been considered as postural problems resulting from chronic or forceful eccentric positioning of the mandible. Muscular hyperactivity produced by such eccentric positioning results in muscle spasm with attendant compression or tension of articular and periarticular structures. The level of mandibular closure at which eccentric positioning originates is suggested as a supplementary aid to routine diagnostic procedures. Such an approach facilitates the removal of cause as well as symptoms of temporomandibular joint disorders.
