Background: Of the various malocclusions, unilateral posterior crossbite has often been
associated to skeletal and muscular asymmetrical growth and function. Objective: To assess …

Objective: To systematically review the relationship between malocclusions and masticatory
performance. In addition, we will perform a qualitative analysis of the methodological …

The aims of this investigation were to determine whether stabilization of maximum voluntary
bite force (MVBF) occurs between 15 and 18 years of age in subjects with a normal …

Masticatory muscle thickness provides objective measurements of the oral motor function,
which may change in patients with oral myofascial pain. In this study, we aimed to establish …
