Masticatory Muscles Activity in Sport Climbers. [PDF]
Int J Environ Res Public Health, 2020 Masticatory muscle activity during teeth clenching is associated with changes in many physiological parameters throughout the body. Clenching can improve muscle activity, force production, rate of force development, and joint fixation. Hence, teeth clenching and masticatory muscle activity can be important in competitive sports activities.

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

Masticatory muscles activity in patients with mandibular angle fractures: A literature review on which procedure to use to reverse the best masticatory muscles functionality [PDF]
Heliyon, 2023 Introduction: Mandible is the first or the second most fractured bone of facial skeleton. Fractures of the angle account for 23–43% of all mandibular fractures. Soft and hard tissue are affected in a traumatized mandible.

Pulsatile control of the human masticatory muscles [PDF]
The Journal of Physiology, 2003 Spectral analysis of jaw acceleration confirmed that the human mandible ‘trembles’ at a peak frequency around 6 Hz when held in its rest position and at other stationary jaw openings. The 6 Hz tremor increased during very slow movements of the mandible, but other lower‐frequency peaks became prominent during more rapid jaw movements.

Masticatory muscles and the skull: A comparative perspective [PDF]
Archives of Oral Biology, 2006 Masticatory muscles are anatomically and functionally complex in all mammals, but relative sizes, orientation of action lines, and fascial subdivisions vary greatly among different species in association with their particular patterns of occlusion and jaw movement. The most common contraction pattern for moving the jaw laterally involves a force couple

Morphology and Physiology of Masticatory Muscle Motor Units [PDF]
Critical Reviews in Oral Biology & Medicine, 2001 Motor unit territories in masticatory muscles appear to be smaller than territories in limb muscles, and this would suggest a more localized organization of motor control in masticatory muscles. Motor unit cross-sectional areas show a wide range of values, which explains the large variability of motor unit force output.

Functional Role of Suprahyoid Muscles in Bolus Formation During Mastication
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 It still remains unclear how the suprahyoid muscles function in bolus formation during mastication. This study aimed to investigate the contributory role of the suprahyoid muscles during mastication.
