Abstract

Jaw muscle silent periods were recorded in response to a chin tap during maximal clench in asymptomatic subjects. The insertion of a palatal splint did not change the silent period duration. However, an occlusal splint, or part of it, caused a significant increase in the duration of the silent period.
