Craniomandibular Muscles: Their Role in Function and Form

摘要: This book provides a comprehensive scientific investigation into every aspect of craniomandibular muscle function in both human and experimental animal studies. Topics discussed cover three broad areas: the anatomical, physiological, histochemical aspects these muscles; special importance muscles to resting mandibular posture mastication; their role clinically relevant problems involved with occlusion, disorders, growth development cranioskeleton. Over 150 figures tables are used illustrate concepts areas. Methods for studying examined depth, use classically defined techniques such as electromyography newer approaches using magnetic resonance spectroscopy immunological identification contractile proteins discussed. Specialists oral biology, orthodontics, surgery, prosthodontics, disorders schools private practice should consider this an indispensable resource work
