Introduction: The masseter and the anterior part of the temporalis are the muscles mainly responsible for the clenching function. Clenching patterns and the activity of these muscles are not expected to differ between male and females, nor between different occlusal classes. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine whether the activity index of the masseter and temporalis muscles is related to occlusal class and gender. Methods: This study involved 145 eighteen-year-old Caucasian volunteers who underwent surface electromyography. The sEMG was analyzed at the moment of 100% occlusal contact. Occlusal classes were determined used plaster casts. …

Symmetry evaluation of the craniofacial complex generally involves models of mandibular movement and masticatory muscle activity, especially during the growth of the craniofacial complex. Objectives: The aim of the study was to determine what, if any, associations exist between the activity of the masticatory muscles, sex, and occlusal classes in asymptomatic young adults. Methods:18-year-old volunteers, showing no symptoms of TMD based on an RDC/TMD examination, were included in the study.Surface electromyography (sEMG) recording was used to quantify the activity of masticatory muscles. The occlusal contact points were analyzed using a T-scan III Evolution 7.01 device. Occlusal classes were …
