Standardised indexes reduce the variability of masticatory muscles electromyographic values [PDF]

European Journal of Translational Myology
In dentistry, surface electromyography (sEMG) is currently used in both clinical and research fields to study the electrical activity of the masticatory muscles, such as the anterior Temporals and Masseters, which are easily accessible.

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.

High Myopia and Thickness of Extraocular and Masticatory Muscles—7T MRI, Preliminary Study [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2023
(1) Background: Myopia is one of the most common refractive errors in the world. The aim of this study was to evaluate the transverse dimensions of selected masticatory muscles (temporalis muscle and masseter muscle) versus the transverse dimensions of ...

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 ...

Masticatory muscles in occlusion

口腔疾病防治, 2017
In clinical practice, the masticatory muscles problems are often encountered occlusion. Masticatory muscles, as a component of the masticatory system, play an important role in occlusion.

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 Disorders
Background 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

Masticatory muscles and the skull: A comparative perspective [PDF]

Archives of Oral Biology, 2007
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

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

Quantitative assessment of masticatory muscles based on skull muscle attachment areas in Carnivora [PDF]

Anatomical Record
Abstract Masticatory muscles are composed of the temporalis, masseter, and pterygoid muscles in mammals. Each muscle has a different origin on the skull and insertion on the mandible; thus, all masticatory muscles contract in different directions. Collecting in vivo data and directly measuring the masticatory muscles anatomically in various Carnivora ...

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.
