Oral Kinesiology

Chewing, laughing, smiling, talking, yawning etc. are important movement functions of the human masticatory system. Sometimes patients are confronted with problems in performing these functions, which are related to a malfunction of the jaw muscles and/or the temporomandibular joint. This sub-programme studies the normal and disturbed functions of the jaw muscles and the temporomandibular joint, the factors that influence these functions and the treatment modalities that preserve or restore these functions.
