title: [The mechanical action of Dirol chewing gum on the periodontal tissues and masticatory muscles].
abstract: Regional hemodynamics, bioelectric activity of masticatory muscles, and compactness of mandibular bone were studied by the rheographic method for measuring periodontal bloodflow, by electromyography, and echo-osteometry in 52 volunteers after 4-week regular chewing of Dirol chewing gum. Congestive hyperemia develops in periodontal tissues; functional activity of masticatory muscles and compactness of mandibular bone are normal.
