Objectives Sensory information provided by the periodontal mechanoreceptors (PMR s) is
used by the nervous system to optimize the positioning of food, force levels, and force …

This study tested the hypothesis of whether the lack of tooth eruption would affect the
masticatory function. For this purpose, we recorded the jaw movement trajectory in the three …

Concomitant head and mandibular movements in mastication are thought to be regulated by
sensory inputs to the stomatognathic receptors. In rats, a reflex pathway from the periodontal …

Aim: To test whether orofacial mechanical and thermal hypersensitivities occur in rats during
orthodontic tooth movement (OTM). Methods: Sprague-Dawley rats (140 to 160 g) were …

Objective In this study, we examined if 6–9 Hz jaw tremor, an indirect indicator of Periodontal
Mechanoreceptor (PMR) activity, is different in bruxists compared to healthy participants …

To investigate age‐related changes in oral motor strategies in response to unpredictable
load demands. Sixty‐five healthy children (aged 3–17 yr) were divided into five age‐groups …

The purpose of the present study was to determine whether stress induced a consistent
pattern of increased electromyographic (EMG) activity in different masticatory muscles, and …

Animal experiments indicate that the main form of feedback for jaw-closing muscles is from
periodontal mechanoreceptors (PMRs). However, due primarily to limitations on methods …

Patterns of jaw reflexes induced by periodontal stimulation were examined in ten adults.
Surface electromyograms (EMGs) from the masseter and anterior temporal muscles were …

Objectives: The objectives of this research are to investigate the biological response of the
body to different magnitude of force, and to investigate if the response varies among …
