Abstract:
In clinical dentistry, the solidborne vibrations (tissue pressure waves) produced by the temporomandibular joints (TMJ) may signify dysfunction or disease of the mandibular locomotor system. This article discusses aspects of the applied mathematics and electronic recording of solidborne vibrations of the TMJ (electrovibratography).
