Functional Anatomy

The research program deals with the general question of how histological, anatomical, (neuro-) physiological and mechanical properties of the jaw muscles, jaws and jaw joints affect the development, maintenance and degradation of form and function of the masticatory system. The mission is to obtain fundamental knowledge to enable prevention of oral dysfunction and recovery of pathologic structure and function in the masticatory system.
