Zusammenfassung:Highlights • This critical review summarize the current knowledge of the structural and functional characteristics of periodontal mechanoreceptors, and understands their role in the signal pathways and functional motor control. The following aspects have been highlighted: • Histological and electrophysiological studies in animals: are the results in agreement? • Molecular and electrophysiological studies in humans: what do we really know? • Central connections of the trigeminal primary afferent neurons • From mechanotransduction to signal pathways: the role of periodontal mechanoreceptors on the chewing pattern motor control. • Future directions
