title: Chewing patterns in normal children.
abstract: Chewing patterns are precisely plotted in deciduous, mixed and permanent dentitions. These show a progression from a large component in the opening movement with a more medial closing path in the deciduous dentition, to a more vertical overall pattern with the closing path lateral to the opening path in the early permanent dentition.
