Neuromuscular System and Jaw Deformities.

Abstract

: The development of jaw deformities in the human provides some of the most challenging issues of cause and effect relationships between muscle and bone . Genetic factors provide the underlying control for the development of the craniomandibular region , but the neuromuscular system is intimately woven with the bone. While genetic factors effect the muscle and bone , these two tissues can also interact to effect eachother. The best experimental data supporting this concept is presented .
