PHILADELPHIA — Dental
urgeons say that at least 10 mil-
ion Americans — most com
monly career women — suffer
torn a stress disorder of the jaw
Joint that can cause many physic-
il problems.
Eight hundred doctors at a
veekend convention of the
American Association of Oral
md Maxillofacial Surgeons con-
luded that clenching of the
eeth can overload the joint,
his can cause headaches, an in-
ibility to open and close the
nouth properly, painful click-
ng, locking of jaws and ringing
n the ears.
The joint is known clinically
as the temporomandibular joint
and it moves each time the jaw
moves.
“The hyperactivity of the jaw
muscle is related to stress,” said
conference moderator Dr. M.
Franklin Dolwick, an associate
professor and coordinator of re
search at the Department of
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
at the University of Texas
Health Science Center.
“Some people react to stress
with ulcers or high blood press
ure and some grind their teeth.
“The constant clenching of
the jaw causes fatigue of the
muscle that can cause tension
headaches over the temples. In
the long term it can cause dis
ease in the muscle, degenerative
joint disease or disk displace
ment.”
Dolwick said 5 percent of the
population suffer from TMJ
disorders that need medical
attention.
A profile of TMJ sufferers
shows that they are usually
women, 20 to 40 years old, who
are competitive, upper-middle
class, have trouble coping with
stress and are self-reliant. The
doctors said they have also noted
a marked upswing among
career women with TMJ symp
toms.
TMJ symptoms can be
headaches, facial pain, locked
jaws and ringing in the ears.
“Depending upon the cause
and severity of the problem,
treatment can be medication, re
laxation therapy or surgery.”
Dolwick said new technology
has helped greatly in diagnosing
TMJ problems.
One device can be used to re
cord muscle contractions of the
jaw that correlate with specific
occurrences such as the appear
ance of a feared boss.
He said pinpointing the cause
of tension is vital to avoid
surgery and stress control prog
rams can teach patients to relax
jaw muscles through biofeed
back and special exercises.

AUSTIN — The U.S. Sup
reme Court Monday denied a
request that it halt implementa
tion of a court-ordered redis
tricting plan for Texas House
and Senate seats and delay the
May primary and November
general election.
Without comment, the jus
tices turned down the request
made by the Associated Republi
cans of Texas, an Austin-based
group challenging the constitu
tionality of legislative redistrict
ing plans drawn by the three-
judge federal panel.
ART had hoped to halt im
plementation of the plans at
least until its appeal on the
merits of the case was heard by
the court.
Patricia Hill, a Dallas attorney
representing ART, said the
appeal of the case could still be
heard, but that it appeared elec- drawn by the Legislative Redis-
tions would be held under the
plan handed down by the
judges.
The districts drawn by the
federal panel are similar to those
tricting Board, hut later invali
dated by the U.S. J ustice Depart
ment under the Voting Rights
Act.

DALLAS — A state district
dge, accused of conflict of in
rest after ruling in favor of a
usinessman to whom he owed
42,000, says his f inancial obli-
ition did not influence his deci-
on in the civil suit.
JudgeJoe B. Burnett last year
anted Dallas insurance mil-
snaire John Abdnor a perma-
ent injunction against District
I Attorney Henry Wade, June 3,
es wa 981 — prohibiting the district
letvin ,tor ney from seeking the
sychiatric records of Abdnor’s
• iiem [,n ’"’ho was charged with mur-
W i er and planned a defense of
assd 1san 'D-
radi" Abdnor’s son was convicted
murder and sentenced to life
^prisonment last October.
I he Dallas Morning News re
tried Sunday that while Bur-
was acting as judge in the
t'vsuit, Abdnor’s company was
ll*4 <,ldin g nine overdue notes
>|)|k rRned by Burnett.
Burnett said he did not con
fer his financial obligation to
bdnor a conflict of interest,
°r did he let it influence his
‘jjfg
Iki J I don’t think it was a problem
I uJ ro "i either of the litigants'
J^ndpoint," Burnett said.
iS(i iJ Although looking back, I
manf lou ld have (disqualified) mv-
s
Judges have human frailties =
st like anybody else. I made =
he (mistake) by letting Abdnor jE
,e lp me financially. But it’s done S
n( J I can’t do anything about it.” E
However, Wade, who said he 5
,as unaware of the debt Burnett S
Abdnor until recently, j§
1K ^ the circumstances reinforce S
belief that Burnett was S
as ed in his ruling. S
There's no question there is S
^°nfliaof interest if you hear a S
^ involving a close associate S
F Personal friend.” Wade said. E
Code of Judicial Conduct states
that a judge should withdraw
from a case in which the judge
has a financial interest in the
subject matter in controversy or
in a party to the proceeding.
Burnett excused himself from
the case in February.
Burnett said he borrowed
$28,000 from Abdnor’s insur
ance company and allowed
Abdnor to co-sign two bank
loans in 1974 when he was re
establishing his law practice af
ter losing an election. Abdnor
paid the $ 14,461 balance on one
of the bank loans he had co
signed after Burnett defaulted.
Abdnor noted that the loans
were made when Burnett was
off the bench.
