Masticatory muscle activity evaluation by electromyography in subjects with zygomatic implants [PDF]
, 2017 Zygomatic implants are an alternative treatment in the rehabilitation of atrophic maxilla to promote stability in the stomatognathic system. The aim of this study was to compare the electromyographic (EMG) activity of masseter and temporalis muscles in ...

Can Masticatory Electromyography be Normalised to Submaximal Bite Force? [PDF]
, 2015 The combination of bite force and jaw muscle electromyography (EMG) provides an insight into the performance of the stomatognathic system, especially in relation to dynamic movement tasks.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) is widely applied for inferring diet in vertebrates. Besides diet and ingesta properties, factors like wear stage and bite force may affect microwear formation, potentially leading to tooth position‐specific microwear patterns.

Preservation of masseter muscle until the end stage in the SOD1G93A mouse model for ALS
Scientific ReportsAmyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) progressively impairs motor neurons, leading to muscle weakness and loss of voluntary muscle control. This study compared the effects of SOD1 mutation on masticatory and limb muscles from disease onset to death in ALS ...

Initial fatigue of masseter muscles during the maximal voluntary teeth contraction [PDF]
Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2002 Fatigue of striated muscles is defined as the impossibility to generate the expected or required force during the repeated contraction. During the maximal voluntary teeth contraction in the position of central occlusion the initial fatigue in masticatory

The electrical activity of the masticatory muscles in children with cleft lip and palate
International Journal of Paediatric Dentistry, 2018 BACKGROUND Information regarding masticatory muscle function in children with cleft lip and palate (CLP) is limited. As a consequence, research on masticatory muscle activity in cleft subjects is needed.

Quantitative assessment of masticatory muscles based on skull muscle attachment areas in Carnivora
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.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 ...

Frequency of daytime tooth clenching episodes in individuals affected by masticatory muscle pain and pain-free controls during standardized ability tasks [PDF]
, 2016 Tooth clenching has been suggested to be related to temporomandibular pain. However, the electromyographic characteristics of daytime clenching episodes have been minimally investigated.
