Abstract:Introduction Changes in breathing patterns affect the harmonious development of the structures of the craniofacial system, leading to changes in posture, occlusion, and facial growth patterns. However, little is known about how these changes influence the muscle contraction patterns, either at rest or while functioning, and either in a normal or unbalanced condition.
Objective To study the masseter and anterior temporal muscles fatigue during mastication in nasal- and mouth-breathing children, also c… Show more
