In addition, TMD diagnosis , present in all patients in the evaluation , was deleted in 69.2 % of patients in the treatment group , the revaluation . There was an increase in the pain threshold in the anterior temporal muscle, masseter average . It also identified increased electrical activity of sternocleidomastoid during maximum intercuspation .
