Understanding Masticatory Function in Unilateral Crossbites
Wiley-Blackwell (Verlag)
978-1-118-97187-1 (ISBN)
Describes the physiology and pathology of chewing patterns and muscular activation in humans
Explains chewing patterns and muscular coordination, and their influence on the growth and harmony of the stomatognathic system
Clinical instruction for checking and correcting masticatory function and functional asymmetry in order to prevent the relapse of the malocclusion
Clinical cases walk readers through the treatment of seven crossbites
