“…Some authors have considered it to be a neuromuscular formation "orbiculo-buccinato-linguo-velo-pharyngo-oesophageale" (Plas et al, 2004). It has been reported to be active during swallowing, chewing, blowing, and sucking (Rathee and Jain, 2022) and, together with the orbicularis oris muscle, acts in the articulation of words (Plas et al, 2004).…”

By limiting its objective to correcting dysmorphisms of the dento-alveolar arches, current treatment of malocclusions loses a great deal of effectiveness that technical procedures might otherwise achieve. An inadequate understanding of the mechanics of the facial envelope can allow the dysmorphisms and breathing dysfunctions associated with malocclusions to persist.However, the oral fissure has a profound impact on the mechanical behavior of the facial envelope. Like an operational command, it transforms the local mechanics of the facial envelope by creating a phenomenon of a concentration of stress and deformations whose manifestations are visible not only on facial soft tissues, but also on their cartilage and osseous supports. This phenomenon also influences the physiology of the facial muscles by distorting them as they are forced to adapt to the fissure, and by guiding the functional adaptations of the envelope.

“…It is frequently referred to as an accessory muscle of mastication because of its role on chewing food and swallowing and compressing the cheeks against the molars, as well as its use for whistling, sucking and blowing. The buccinator muscle gradually contracts during mouth closing and relaxes during mouth opening, maintaining the required tension of the cheeks, in order to avoid biting on the jugal mucosa (1,2). This muscle has different origins: the pterygomandibular raphe and the buccal alveolar bone of maxillary and mandibular molars.…”

“…First, it originates from a fibrous bundle (the pterygomandibular raphe), which runs from the pterygoid hamulus on the inferior portion of the medial surface of the mandible close to the posterior portion of the mylohyoid line. The pterygomandibular raphe connects the anterior portion of the superior constrictor muscle of the pharynx with the posterior portion of the buccinator (1,2). From the two bone origins (buccal alveolar bone of maxillary and mandibular molars) and from the pterygomandibular raphe, the fibers of the buccinator muscle run anteriorly, forming the musculature of the cheek.…”

External location of the buccinator muscle to facilitate electromyographic analysis

et al. 2008

Electromyography is frequently used to measure the activity of masticatory muscles. It requires the precise setting of the electrodes, which demands the accurate location of the muscle to be evaluated. The purpose of this study was to investigate the accuracy of an external method to locate the buccinator muscle. Fifteen human cadavers were evaluated and planes were determined on the face using anatomic landmarks. An angle (alpha) was obtained at the intersection of these planes on the central point of buccinator muscle and measured with a protractor. The value of the angle allows locating the central point of buccinator muscle based on anatomic landmarks on the face. Statistical analysis of the collected data indicated an angle of 90 masculine with 95% reliability, thus proving the efficacy of the proposed method.
