title: [Structural arrangement of mandibular neuromuscular guided drive systems].
abstract: The free movements of mandibular, oral apertures can be related to the couples' movements of neuromuscular throttle cranks which reveal a common specific property: a double dead position of the mandible (couple). As the neuromuscular system uses the same cyclic path of a well-defined mandibular point for the opening and the closing process of a specific mandibular movement, the mandible can follow the same or two different trajectories although the positive drive works on. The different movements of oral aperture are related to the geometrical positions of the cranks at the fixed plane. Geometrical properties and measures of the gear systems of eleven class-I-patients are reported and discussed.
