More Information
Summary:The effects of bite plane on masticatory muscles during tapping and chewing movements were investigated in subjects with no signs and symptoms of stomatognathic dysfunction. Mandibular movements were recorded using a Sirognathograph (Siemens Co.) and electromyograms were simultaneously recorded from masseter, anterior temporalis, posterior temporalis, and anterior digastricus. Two types of bite plane were used for each subject: one for the maxillary arch and the other for the mandibular arch, and additionally, the bite planes were divided into two parts: anterior part and posterior part. The results of this study suggest that the effects of these types of bite plane are different.
