Electromyography of the Temporal and Masticatory Muscles in Different Functional States

This study analyzes the electromyographic (EMG) activity of the temporalis and masticatory muscles during different functional states, namely chewing, clenching, speaking, and resting. EMG is considered the main diagnostic method for assessing muscle activity, and by recording the electrical signals of muscles, it allows to accurately describe their functional state. The research involves the study of important indicators such as changes in muscle activity and tension, asymmetric muscle function, fatigue and presence of spasms. The results demonstrate the importance of EMG analysis in the diagnosis and treatment of temporomandibular joint dysfunctions, masticatory disorders and muscle spasms. In this way, it is possible to determine muscle activity, diagnose dysfunctions and monitor treatment with the help of EMG.
