  • Title: [Loading of the masticatory system].
    Author: van Eijden TM, Koolstra JH, Weijs WA.
    Journal: Ned Tijdschr Tandheelkd; 1989 Jun; 96(6):259-63. PubMed ID: 2635280.
    Abstract:
    The masticatory system has the capability to produce biteforces in many directions, the magnitude of the maximum possible biteforce varies with the biteforce direction and depends on several parameters, such as the length-tension relationship, the physiological cross-section and the orientation of the jaw muscles, the shape of the temporomandibular joint and the location of the bite point. The loading of the left and right temporomandibular joint varies, among others, with the bite-force direction.
