Effect of occlusal conditions on neuromuscular function for a healthy population.
This study was designed to measure and describe the dynamic function of the muscles of mastication in healthy, dentate adults. Specifically, the study was designed to determine if there are common patterns of masticatory muscle function and whether a given occlusal loading model generates more muscle activity than another.
