Patients with systemic rheumatic or neuromuscular diseases, degenerative joint disease, previous fractures of the jaws or orthodontic treatment, were excluded. The clinical examination was according to DC\/TMD and extended for the occlusion. Reported symptoms, clinical signs, the occlusion and diagnoses found are presented. According to the information gained from the patient\u2019s history, previous occlusion and appearance, and present signs of parafunction, a possible association with the bite opening was suggested.<\/jats:p>\n                <\/jats:sec>\n                <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Anterior bite opening was found in 1.6% of the referred patients.

Parafunction or bruxism was reported by 2\/3 of the patients. A previous period in life of TMD symptoms, before the bite opening, was reported by 66%. Myalgia and headache associated with TMD were frequently diagnosed. The use of a partial dental splint, tongue pressure and pregnancy were possible causes found for the bite opening.<\/jats:p>\n                <\/jats:sec>\n                <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Anterior bite opening can occur in adulthood without organic or systemic disease of the TMJ or masticatory muscles, and was frequently associated with muscle TMD symptoms.<\/jats:p>\n                <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2174\/1874210601711010628","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,13]],"date-time":"2017-12-13T09:31:41Z","timestamp":1513157501000},"page":"628-635","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2174\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Anterior Bite Opening in Adulthood"],"prefix":"10.2174","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Karolina","family":"Broberg","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Birgitta","family":"Lindskog-Stokland","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Christina","family":"Mejersj\u00f6","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"965","reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"133","DOI":"10.1177\/154405910508400205","volume":"84","author":"Miyawaki S.","year":"2005","unstructured":"Miyawaki S, Araki Y, Tanimoto Y, et al. \n                    Occlusal force and condylar motion in patients with anterior open bite. \n                    J Dent Res  \n                    2005; \n                    84\n                    (2)\n                    : 133-7.","journal-title":"J.
