[The effect of an experimental occlusal interference on the masticatory cycle recorded by electromagnetic pantography]. 1991

Centre de Recherches Odontologiques, Faculté de Chirurgie Dentaire, Rennes, France.

The effects of occlusal interference on masticatory cycles have been studied in twenty nine volunteers with complete natural dentition, using an electromagnetic pantograph (Sirognatograph, Siemens A.G.). After a one week recall, a decrease in speed motion was noted and the range of cycles in the horizontal plane had been altered.

D008409	Mastication	The act and process of chewing and grinding food in the mouth.	Chewing
D008838	Microcomputers	Small computers using LSI (large-scale integration) microprocessor chips as the CPU (central processing unit) and semiconductor memories for compact, inexpensive storage of program instructions and data. They are smaller and less expensive than minicomputers and are usually built into a dedicated system where they are optimized for a particular application. "Microprocessor" may refer to just the CPU or the entire microcomputer.	Computers, Personal,Microprocessors,Computer, Personal,Microcomputer,Microprocessor,Personal Computer,Personal Computers
D009068	Movement	The act, process, or result of passing from one place or position to another. It differs from LOCOMOTION in that locomotion is restricted to the passing of the whole body from one place to another, while movement encompasses both locomotion but also a change of the position of the whole body or any of its parts. Movement may be used with reference to humans, vertebrate and invertebrate animals, and microorganisms. Differentiate also from MOTOR ACTIVITY, movement associated with behavior.	Movements
D011187	Posture	The position or physical attitude of the body.	Postures
D003188	Composite Resins	Synthetic resins, containing an inert filler, that are widely used in dentistry.	Composite Resin,Resin, Composite,Resins, Composite
D003748	Dental Equipment	The nonexpendable items used by the dentist or dental staff in the performance of professional duties. (From Boucher's Clinical Dental Terminology, 4th ed, p106)	Equipment, Dental,Dental Equipments,Equipments, Dental
D003769	Dental Occlusion, Traumatic	An occlusion resulting in overstrain and injury to teeth, periodontal tissue, or other oral structures.
