Objetivo: Determinar el efecto del anestésico local di-bucaína sobre las principales isoformas de la SERCA (calcio ATPasa de retículo sarco-endoplásmico) pre-sentes en músculo pterigoideo interno. Métodos: Se aislaron por centrifugación diferencial membranas de retículo sarcoplásmico de pterigoi...
SUMMARY: The lateral pterygoid muscle (LPM) is intimately related with the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), playing an important role in its physiology. This makes it of interest to researchers who investigate temporomandibular disorders. The literature indicates that anatomical variations exist in the ins...
SUMMARY: Both the masseter and medial pterygoid muscles elevate the mandible, raising the lower jaw by acting simultaneously on the lateral and medial surfaces of the mandibular ramus. Nevertheless, electromyographic studies indicate that these muscles, as well as the superficial and deep heads of the ma...
SUMMARY: The lateral pterygoid muscle (LPM) is one of the muscles involved in jaw movements, and is therefore of great importance in the physiology of the temporomandibular joint. This muscle has classically been considered to have two heads, superior and inferior, however previous studies have indicated...
RESUMEN: El músculo pterigoideo lateral (MPL) es una estructura compleja y variable, poder determinar su anatomía exacta, relaciones vecinas, origen e inserciones, ayuda a los clínicos a comprender de mejor forma su función en el sistema estomatognático. En esta revisión se busca analizar la litera...
A finales del siglo pasado se desarrolló un modelo para explicar observaciones clínicas relacionadas con el crecimiento mandibular, según el cual el músculo pterigoideo lateral (LPM) era uno de los principales moduladores de la diferenciación de las células mesenquimales del cóndilo mandibular a c...
Local anesthetics used in dentistry have myotoxic effects. Articaine, also known as carticaine, is one of the local anesthetics most widely used in clinical dentistry. The aim of this work was to describe its effect on the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca-ATPase isolated from medial pterygoid muscle. Ca-ATPase ...
The lateral pterygoid muscle, more specifically its superior head, as we know, is closely related to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Particularly in children, in contrast with what was observed in adults, these joints have been rarely studied, by the anatomic functional aspect, little knowing about it...
