The dental occlusion is an important aspect of clinical dentistry; there are diverse functional
demands ranging from highly precise tooth contacts to large crushing forces. Further, there …

The oro‐facial sensorimotor system is a unique system significantly distinguished from the
spinal sensorimotor system. The jaw muscles are involved in mastication, swallowing and …
