Joint pathology includes the presence of noise at this level that occurs during lifting and lowering movements of the mandible. Besides the ATM, when performing these movements the mobilizing muscles of the mandible are also involved. These two systems, muscles and joints, enhance their activity and interrelate. This study aims to correlate the joint noises with the muscular pathology. Regarding the muscular pathology, we focused on investigating the muscular spasms, muscular fatigue, and tone changes with the help of the K7 system (electromyography). We conducted an observational study in an analytical sample of 46 subjects aged between 16 and 76 years, out of 63 that were initially included in this study in order to detect the presence of joint noises. We recorded muscular activity during rest, revealing the existing changes. On the paraclinical exam, a larger number of subjects having these types of changes were recorded compared those who initially reported the presence of these symptoms.
