The article focuses on a study which assesses the influence of light and hard tensile force and unilateral clenching duration in static strain distribution on dry skull. The study employs an experimental model to simulate masseter and temporalis muscles. It shows that the influence of the tensile force of masticatory muscle and unilateral clenching duration was found on the frontal bone, parietal bone, temporal bone, and zygomatic process of temporal bone.

The article presents a study on the reconstruction of tooth guidance which is under stomatognathic function. It states that the stomatognathic functions were assessed through clinical symptoms, mandibular movements and muscle activities as limitations of the scope of the study. The results reveal that the left and right masseter muscles, anterior temporal muscles and posterior temporal muscles appear to have normal activities.
