    Abstract

    The authors recorded the mandibular movement produced during the swallowing of 150 ml of water with the aid of a straw between the lips using a kinesiograph in a random sample of 66 people between the ages of 24 and 35. In each recording 13 variables were measured, and a descriptive analysis of each one was carried out. The authors' findings support that there is no dental contact during liquid swallowing with the aid of a straw between the lips.
