Myotonometry of patients with transverse incisor occlusion
Abstract
Studied the tone of masticator muscles in patients of 13-15 years with transversal incisor occlusion. All patients were divided into two groups, depending on the dental occlusion: 1 st - physiological; 2 nd - distal. Based on these data the performance features of the contractility of the masticator muscles, depending on a type of occlusion of the posterior teeth are defined.
