File:Bilateral Electric Transcranial Stimulation.jpg|''' | File:Bilateral Electric Transcranial Stimulation.jpg|'''Figure 1b:''' Figure 1b displays the results of a motor-evoked potential test obtained through transcranial electrical stimulation of the trigeminal nerve roots. The focus is on structural symmetry, which was calculated by comparing the peak-to-peak amplitude of the evoked potentials in the right masseter muscle (upper trace) and left masseter muscle (lower trace). | ||
File:Jaw Jerk .jpg|'''Figura 1c:''' This figure shows the jaw reflex evoked by percussion of the chin with a piezoelectric neurological hammer. Once again, what stands out is the observed functional symmetry, highlighted by the analysis of peak-to-peak amplitude in the right and left masseter muscles. Functional symmetry in a malocclusion condition suggests that reflexive responses of the masticatory system can remain effectively balanced despite occlusal discrepancies. This further reinforces the argument that a diagnosis of malocclusion does not necessarily translate into manifest neuromuscular dysfunctions, and that the integrity of the masticatory system can be maintained. | File:Jaw Jerk .jpg|'''Figura 1c:''' This figure shows the jaw reflex evoked by percussion of the chin with a piezoelectric neurological hammer.

File:Mechanic Silent Period.jpg|'''Figura 1d:''' Illustrates the evoked mechanical silent period elicited by percussion of the chin with a triggered neurological hammer. This type of measurement focuses on the integral area of the right and left masseter muscles, and what emerges prominently is the functional symmetry between the two sides. The presence of this symmetry underscores that, despite the malocclusion condition, neuromuscular dynamics, specifically in terms of reflex inhibition after stimulation, are maintained in a balanced equilibrium. | File:Mechanic Silent Period.jpg|'''Figura 1d:''' Illustrates the evoked mechanical silent period elicited by percussion of the chin with a triggered neurological hammer.
