Three-dimensional architecture characteristics and diffusion properties of masticatory muscles assessed with diffusion tensor imaging and diffusion spectrum imaging: a pilot study of differences, reproducibility and sensitivity to microenvironment changes [PDF]
BMC Musculoskeletal DisordersBackground Diffusion spectral imaging (DSI) could overcome the inherent limitation of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), but its outcomes in masticatory muscle fiber-tracking have not been well-established. Therefore, the objective of this prospective study

Evaluation of Electromyographic Activity of Masticatory Muscles in Adults with Posterior Crossbite [PDF]
International Journal of Dentistry, 2022 Introduction. There is evidence that patients with posterior crossbite (PXB) have neuromuscular changes in the masticatory muscles. However, up to the present time, the relationship among these changes on the electromyographic activity of the masticatory

EMG-CHARACTERISTICS OF MASTICATORY MUSCLES IN SUBJECTS WITH BRUXISM
Український стоматологічний альманах, 2022 Today, bruxism is a fairly common phenomenon. Bruxism is often defined as the parafunctional activity of the masticatory and facial muscles. Parafunction is called increased inappropriate activity, tension or even spasm of the masticatory and facial ...
