“…Nevertheless, only one study indicated significant results, showing that severe TMD group had lower maximal activity of temporal and masseter muscles than healthy subjects. Previous studies found that TMD subjects have lower activities during MVC than normal subjects, due to the less efficiency of masticatory muscles and the easily fatigue . In addition, greater muscle activity during clenching tasks requests greater bite‐forces generated by the elevator muscles and greater TMJ and/or tooth row loads, which can be affected in TMD patients because of the pain and impairments of TMJ …”

“…One study found that TMD patients showed impairment of oro‐facial motor functions, with alterations on the recruitment of masseter and temporal muscles during the chewing. Two studies reported the importance of this topic, considering that the general population that presents any sign or symptom of TMD may have the chewing process affected . Some studies showed significant values when compared TMD and control group, regarding chewing dysfunctions or muscular alterations, even though not always directly.…”

For example, in two studies the asymmetry of temporal muscle was greater in TMD group than in control group.…”

“…One method that can be used to assess the chewing process is surface electromyography (sEMG) . Surface electromyography is able to measure the electrical potential generated by the muscles fibres, through a pair of surface electrodes attached to the skin just above the masticatory muscles . Surface electromyography assessment provides data of analysis as root mean square (RMS) that can estimate the quantity of electrical neural signal that is sent to the muscle and how its changed in the central command or in the central drive to motor neurons .…”

Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is an umbrella condition presenting several signs and symptoms including pain in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and masticatory muscles, articular noises, earache, headache, irregular or restricted jaw function, chewing difficulty, and limited mouth opening. Such TMD impairment may cause disorders during the chewing process. Therefore, the purpose of this systematic review was to assess chewing dysfunctions measured by sEMG, and their association with TMD. A combination and variation in the descriptors "temporomandibular joint disorders", "masticatory dysfunctions", and electromyography were used to perform the searches across databases. The databases chosen were: LILACS, PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus, and Web of Science. Additionally, grey literature was assessed using Google Scholar, ProQuest, and OpenGrey. Studies in adults that diagnosed TMD through the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD), Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (DC/TMD) or Helkimo Protocol were selected. Furthermore, those studies should have evaluated chewing processes through surface electromyography (sEMG). Risk of bias of the included studies was assessed through the Meta-Analysis of Statistics Assessment and Review Instrument (MAStARI) tool. Eleven included studies shown significant results; however, they evaluated discrepant parameters, presented high inconsistency in the application, and had chosen different tasks to analyse the sEMG and hence, there was no consensus in the results of studies. In conclusion, strength of recommendations was very low due to a series of limitations on studies and it was not possible to made categorical statement about association between TMD and chewing dysfunctions in adults when parameters of sEMG were analysed.

“…Electronic instrumentation provides objective measurement for many of the biological phenomena, and thus can be used throughout treatment to provide critical data that monitor and enhance treatment efficacy. Electromyography (EMG) is considered as one of the diagnostic tools used in identifying and analyzing TMDs 15,17 . It's mode of action is similar to the electrocardiogram which measures the muscular activity and dysfunctions of the heart muscle.…”

Purpose: The aim of this study was to measure the masseter muscles activity by electromyogram before and after arthrocentesis in patients with temporomandibular disorders. Materials and methods: Twelve patients with unilateral painful TMJ, diagnosed by RDC/ TMD as group II and indicated for unilateral TMJ arthrocentesis are considered as the study group. In this group, electromyographic analysis was performed before and four weeks following the arthrocentesis. The healthy control group included 6 volunteers without any signs and symptoms of temporomandibular disorders. Electromyographic analysis was performed and compared to that of the study group. Results: Comparison of the electromyographic values of the affected side in the study group before and after arthrocentesis showed that only the amplitude during moderate clenching revealed significant differences after four weeks (p=0.02). Differences in all other parameters were statistically insignificant Conclusions: TMJ arthrocentesis is an effective technique for the treatment of the disc displacements sub-types of TMDs. Following arthrocentesis, definite improvement in clinical results is achieved, but improvement in muscle function is only partial as measured by surface electromyography (SEMG). SEMG is a simple noninvasive technique for monitoring of the treatment outcomes on muscle activity in TMDs. EMG analysis for the diagnosis of TMDs is not specific, because the EMG values before and after the arthrocentesis were within the range of normal values of the control group.
