Abstract

Abstract Mandibular closure is produced by simultaneous and even electrical programmed stimulation of the motor nerves controlling the masticatory and facial muscles. The resultant involuntary closure of the mandible is independent of the volition of the patient or the manual guidance of the dentist. The method and techniques associated therewith are useful in a number of clinical and diagnostic techniques.
