Summary By measurement of movement of the mandible immediately after tooth contact during tooth tapping tasks, it has been shown that patterns of direction are less regular in bruxist subjects than in non‐bruxist individuals. The qualitative differences in these patterns are more apparent than the quantitative ones in both cessation and commencement of movement.
