Understanding Masticatory Function in Unilateral Crossbites

A comprehensive overview of masticatory function, focusing heavily on neuromuscular control and the pathophysiological alterations caused by unilateral posterior crossbite. The authors thoroughly document the historical and technological evolution of diagnostic tools like the Sirognathograph and K-series kinesiographs for recording chewing patterns and electromyography (EMG) of masticatory muscles. Furthermore, the text introduces the Function Generating Bite (FGB) appliance as a therapeutic solution, presenting evidence of its biomolecular, functional, and skeletal effects in correcting the functional asymmetry associated with the malocclusion.
