Abstract
Whether chin tap force and bite force affect the duration of the electromyographic silent period following the jaw jerk reflex during isometric contraction of the elevator muscles of the mandible was investigated. Statistical trends exist showing increased silent period duration for increased tap foreces and decreased silent period duration with increased bite forces.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
