Posterior bite raising effects on a primary anterior crossbite case.
Stainless steel crowns were cemented on the mandibular primary molars to make bite raising for an anterior reversed bite case. Chewing force and MKG were recorded before and after bite raising. Data from MKG revealed that co-ordination pattern of muscle activities after bite raising became higher in masseter muscles than those before anterior reversed bite was corrected easily without any incisal interferences by using this treatment method.
