RESUMO
Orofacial manifestations in cases of Myofascial Pain Dysfunction Syndrome (MPD) diagnosed amongst 71 Dental patients were studied in detail. Findings of this study show that the chief complaint and associated orofacial manifestations of MPD are related to muscular hypertonicity. Stressful situations may produce muscular hypertension, which leads to muscle tenderness as a symptom of over work and fatigue. MPD may be considered a psycosomatic disease.

PIP: A study involving the insertion of the Lippe's loop IUD in 600 Indian women from August 1, 1965, to June 30, 1967, is presented. There was an .8% pregnancy rate and a 6% spontaneous expulsion rate. The loop removal rate was 13.5%, with bleeding the main reason for removal. 91.2% of the study group were between the ages of 21 and 35. 88 of the women had IUD insertion during the puerperium, 140 were done within the first 3 months, 86 before 6 months, 118 within a year after delivery or abortion, 96 within 2 years, 32 within 3 years, 22 within 6 years, 14 within 9 years, and 4 after 10 years and above. It is recommended that the loop be inserted within the first 3 months after delivery or abortion. It is believed that the present loop needs to be changed in size, shape, and configuration and that the detectors, like threads and beads, are more harmful than useful. It is felt that to avoid cancer phobia Papanicolaou smear study is essential.^ieng
