Masticatory Muscles Activity Associated with Occlusal Factors: An EMG Review
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
The aim of the study was to conduct a review of electromyographic studies, in order to assess the relationship between various occlusal features and masticatory muscles' activity. An exhaustive MEDLINE computer search was performed to identify all experimental studies present in the English literature describing the relationship between the electromyographyc evaluation of patients and their occlusal morphology. The search methodology provided a total of 102 abstracts and from these 11 full reports were selected as full text. Of the 11 articles selected, 8 studied the variation of the muscular activity as a consequence of the experimental introduction of occlusal disturbances whereas the remaining three studies estimated the electrical muscular characteristics without any artificial alteration of the occlusal morphology. The results obtained seem to suggest that occlusal features can affect the electrical signals recordings of masticatory muscles. Further researches are strongly requested to realize if this altered muscular activity can turns in the occurrence of TMDs.
