Abstract
The masticatory and cervical muscles are unique and complex structures that work synergistically to perform such multifaceted behaviors as chewing, swallowing, and talking. Functional observation, dissection, and basic research related to the masticatory muscles have provided most of the knowledge regarding masticatory muscle function and dysfunction and dictated many therapies that are provided today. However, recent technological advances have allowed rigorous testing of the scientific validity of these previous assumptions and provided a greater understanding of individual masticatory muscle function, as well as the functional behaviors they enable.
