  • Title: Statistical evaluation of some mandibular reference positions in normal young people.
    Author: Ferrario VF, Sforza C, Miani A, D'Addona A, Tartaglia G.
    Journal: Int J Prosthodont; 1992; 5(2):158-65. PubMed ID: 1524637.
    Abstract:
    Mandibular rest position, swallowing occlusal position, and maximum opening were evaluated in a sample of healthy young adults (52 male, 27 female) using a mandibular kinesiograph. It was found that males have a significantly greater vertical dimension of rest than do females, while there were no gender differences in the maximum opening. Most of the subjects had a swallowing occlusal position that coincided with or was very near to the position of maximum intercuspation. Reported data allow the definition of a three-dimensional normal range of variability of maxillomandibular positions during the functional tests most frequently used.
