It is extremely difficult to diagnose muscle hypertonia due to the variety of clinical manifestations and patients’
complaints, and since the disease is often chronic and prolonged, and pain can radiate to any part of the head and neck. Our
study is aimed to propose the unique diagnostic algorithm of the masticatory muscles hypertonia as there is not any. We
involved and examined 189 patients with the developed diagnostic algorithm. The patients’ examination included the survey,
taking the life history and anamnesis, the psychoemotional status assessment. The clinical examination was carried out in
two stages. At the first stage, the dental status was determined, masticatory muscles were palpated to find out the involuntary
muscle contractions. At the second stage, the functional status of the muscles was assessed using additional research
methods (electromyographic, ultrasound and laser Doppler flowmetric study). Results. To apply the main and additional
methods while patients’ examinations at a dental appointment will allow to identify the masticatory muscle hypertonia at an
early stage, as well as to determine the etiopathogenetic and physiological aspects of this pathology development.
Conclusion. The presented diagnostic algorithm of the masticatory muscle hypertonia contributes to a critical understanding
of the provisional diagnosis or to accidentally muscle hypertonia detection
