Masseter motor pause frequency as related to different bolus sizes.
The frequency of motor pauses in the masseter EMG is recorded for different bolus sizes of chewing gum on ten dentate subjects. The bolus sizes were from one two five tables of chewing gum, and the instructions to the subjects were to chew normally. No correlation between bolus size and frequency of motor pauses was found.
