Twenty-five people including 15 males (mean age 30 ± 5 years) and 10 females (mean age 27 ± 4 years) with normal occlusion and no history of OP and TMDs underwent to <sub>b</sub>R-MEPs of the trigeminal motor system. With the exclusion criteria we used, we decided to include only those subjects that are not entered in the classification RDC/TMD. The RDC/ TMD is a biaxial diagnostic tool composed of a clinical exam based on a detailed physical evaluation of the mouth opening pattern, vertical extension of mandibular movement, noises in the TMJ upon palpation during vertical movement, excursive mandibular movements and noises in the Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) upon palpation during lateral excursion and protrusion. The RDC/TMD questionnaire is made up of 31 items addressing general health, oral health, history of facial pain, mouth opening limitation, joint noises, habits, bite, ringing in the ears, health conditions in general, joint problems, headache, current behaviour and social and economic profile.<ref>Dworkin SF, LeResche L (1992) Research diagnostic criteria for temporomandibular disorders: review, criteria, examinations and specifications, critique.
