Correlations between EMG jaw muscle activity and facial morphology in complete denture wearers.

چکیده
In a sample of fifteen partially edentulous subjects assigned for immediate complete denture treatment, a correlation analysis was performed between pre-extraction facial morphology determined from lateral cephalograms, and EMG activity of the anterior temporal and masseter muscles in maximal clench and tapping of teeth. Marked correlations observed between vertical and sagittal jaw relations and mean voltages of the jaw-closing muscles indicated strong biting activity in subjects with a square facial type. No significant associations were observed between biting strength and the age of the subjects. Correlations between facial morphological changes and changes in EMG biting activity after denture insertion and during 1 year of denture wear indicated that the anterior temporal muscles were extremely sensitive to sagittal changes in anterior occlusion. The masseter muscles were less sensitive, but responded in some instances to changes in vertical jaw relationship.

EMG activity of the masseter muscle in implant supported overdenture wearers during chewing of hard and soft food.
The influence of texture of food on the surface electromyographic (EMG) activity of the masseter muscle was investigated in a sample of mandibular implant overdenture wearers. Six experienced denture wearers (mean age 57.8 years) with mandibular overdentures supported by two implants, consented to participate in this study. Fresh raw carrots and peeled apples of similar size and weight were cho...
متن کاملImmediate Effect of Occlusal Errors on Masticatory Muscle Activity in Denture Wearers: A Pilot Study
Over the past three decades, little scientific progress has been made relative to occlusion in conventional complete dentures. Equal distribution of functional load throughout the residual denture foundation is likely an important factor in prosthesis stability and patient acceptance of dentures. A better understanding the relationship between denture occlusion and the physiologic behavior of m...

Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate whether there is any relationship between the condition of complete dentures and TMDs. Methods: The sample consisted of 61 consecutive patients (35 females and 26 males) who were admitted to the Department of Prosthodontics of Mashhad Faculty of Dentistry for fabrication of new complete dentures. The age range of the participants was betwe...
متن کاملEMG silent periods in immediate complete denture patients: a longitudinal study.
Jaw muscle silent periods in response to chin taps were recorded from immediate complete denture patients before extraction of a residual anterior dentition, after insertion of the dentures, and three and six months after insertion. After three months' use of the dentures, the mean EMG silent period duration was significantly increased compared to the pre-extraction stage.
