Functional and molecular outcomes of the human masticatory muscles.
The masticatory muscles achieve a broad range of different activities such as chewing, sucking, swallowing, and speech. In order to accomplish these duties, masticatory muscles have a unique and heterogeneous structure and fiber composition, enabling ...

EMG-CHARACTERISTICS OF MASTICATORY MUSCLES IN SUBJECTS WITH BRUXISM
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 ...

Functional Role of Suprahyoid Muscles in Bolus Formation During Mastication
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.

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

Depression and Resting Masticatory Muscle Activity [PDF]
Background: The aim of this study was to determine the influence of moderate depression determined based on Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMDs) Axis II on the bioelectrical resting activity of temporal muscles and masseter muscles. Methods: The research participants were 68 healthy adult women. Of these, 46 people h (
