Tri-axial Accelerometric Analysis of Dynamic Patterns of Mandibular Movements

The dynamics of mandibular movements is determined by neuromuscular physiology as well as pathophysiology of all parts of the masticatory system. The objective of this pilot study was to examine if dynamic features of mandibular movements in healthy subject can be described and extracted through mandible acceleration measurements.
