Abstract
Electromyographic response patterns of the jaw muscles to head positions were classified as either balanced or unbalanced types. The balanced type was associated with functional normal occlusion, and the unbalanced type was associated with the occlusal interference.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
