The Stomatognathic System

Case bound, 546 pages (out of print)

Applied Kinesiology, Volume II was published in 1983. The term "stomatognathic system" was included in the title to emphasize that the mechanism works as a system and not as individual parts. Nathan Allen Shore, DDS states that the stomatognathic system has components of “... the bones of the skull, the mandible, the hyoid, the clavicle and the sternum; the muscles and the ligaments; the dentoalveolar and the temporomandibular joint; the vascular, the lymphatic and the nerve supply systems; and the soft tissues of the head; the teeth.” The text goes on to state that it is necessary to include the spinal column and pelvis - in fact one can include the entire body because it functions as a total integrated whole.

In addition to covering the applied kinesiology approach to cranial faults, this text discusses dental occlusion, TMJ, myofunctional therapy, and the integration of the systems.
