ABSTRACT

Objetivo: A pesquisa tem por objetivo verificar os limiares de repouso eletromiográfico dos músculos masseter e temporal em pacientes com disfunção temporomandibular (DTM) antes e após intervenção fonoaudiológica com e sem a utilização de bandagem elástica terapêutica. Métodos: A coleta contou com 14 participantes do sexo feminino, com idade entre 18 e 40 anos, com diagnóstico de DTM muscular ou mista. As pacientes foram divididas entre dois grupos classificados em: pacientes com bandagem associada à terapia tradicional (CB) e grupo de terapia tradicional (SB). As pacientes inicialmente foram avaliadas pelo exame de eletromiografia de superfície nas situações de contração voluntária máxima e repouso, e após quatro semanas de intervenção, foi realizada nova avaliação com os mesmos instrumentos. A análise dos dados ocorreu de forma quantitativa e qualitativa. Resultados:No grupo SB o músculo masseter direito apresentou aumento dos valores de repouso com significância, foi observado que o mesmo ocorreu para todos os músculos deste grupo, influenciando no equilíbrio da musculatura ipsilateral e contralateral, no entanto sem evidência estatística. O grupo CB não demonstrou valores estatísticos significativos, porém qualitativamente os valores de repouso muscular diminuíram e equilibraram-se de forma contralateral. Conclusão: Não foram observadas mudanças estatisticamente significantes nos limiares eletromiográficos durante repouso dos músculos masseter e temporal em ambos os grupos. Qualitativamente houve aumento dos valores eletromiográficos após terapia manual tradicional em todos os músculos do grupo SB. Com relação ao grupo CB, houve diminuição dos valores do repouso eletromiográfico após terapia, embora sem evidências estatísticas. (AU)


Purpose: Objective: The research aims to verify the electromyographic rest thresholds of the masseter and temporal muscles in patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMD) before and after speech therapy intervention with and without the use of therapeutic elastic bandage. Methods: The collection included 14 female participants, aged between 18 and 40 years, who had a diagnosis of muscular or mixed TMD. The patients were divided into two groups: with traditional therapy (CB) bandage and traditional therapy (SB) only group. The patients underwent initial evaluation, as well as surface electromyography in situations of maximum voluntary contraction and rest and at the end of the four weeks of intervention, a new evaluation was performed with the same instruments. Data analysis occurred quantitatively and qualitatively. Results: In the SB group, the right masseter muscle showed a significant increase in resting values. It was observed that the same occurred for all muscles in this group, influencing the balance of the ipsilateral and contralateral muscles, although without statistical evidence. The CB group did not show statistically significant values, but qualitatively the muscle rest values decreased and balanced in a contralateral way. Conclusion: No statistically significant changes were observed in the resting electromyographic thresholds of the masseter and temporalis muscles in both groups. Qualitatively, there was an increase in electromyographic values after traditional manual therapy in all muscles in the SB group. Regarding the CB group, there was a decrease in electromyographic resting values after therapy, although without statistical evidence. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Objetive: To investigate the maximum molar bite force in women with chronic neck pain after treatment with acupuncture. Materials and Methods: Twenty-three women with chronic neck pain participated. Dynamometer was used to measure the right and left maximum molar bite force. Dong Bang acupuncture needles - 0.25 mm x 30 mm was inserted into the integumentary tissue. Treatment was 10 sessions, each 30 minutes long and twice a week. Results: The right (p = 0.01) and left (p = 0.004) molar bite force was assessed after treatment with acupuncture, and showed increased occlusal strength. Conclusions: This study suggests a functional improvement in the stomatognathic system in women with chronic cervical pain after treatment with acupuncture. However, it is important to note that further research is needed to fully elucidate the long-term effects and potential clinical implications of these findings in the field of pain management and rehabilitation.

ABSTRACT

There is no consensus on the most appropriate method for normalizing electromyography (EMG) signals from masticatory muscles during isotonic activity. Aim: To analyze the best method for data processing of the EMG signal of the masticatory muscles during isotonic activity (non-habitual chewing), comparing raw data and different types of normalization. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study. Women aged between 18 and 45 years were selected. Anthropometric data were collected (age, height, body mass index ­ BMI, masticatory preference) as well as EMG signal (root mean square ­ RMS) data for the anterior temporal and masseter bilaterally, and for the suprahyoid muscles, during isotonic (non-habitual chewing) and isometric tasks. EMG data were processed offline using Matlab® Software. The normalization of the EMG signal was carried out using the 2nd masticatory cycle, chosen at random, of the 20 cycles collected, the maximum RMS value, and the maximum voluntary contraction (MVC). To analyze the best method of data processing for the isotonic data, the coefficient of variation (CV) was calculated. Descriptive data analysis was adopted, using the mean and standard deviation. ANOVA with repeated measures was used to detect significant differences between the methods of normalization. Statistical significance was set at 5% (α<0.05). Results: The final sample of this research was composed of 86 women. The volunteers presented an average age of 27.83±7.71 years and a mean BMI of 22.85±1.91 Kg/m2. Regarding masticatory preference, 73.25% reported the right side, and 26.75% the left side. Considering the comparison between the methods, the %CV measure of the 2nd cycle showed the lowest variation coefficient during biting for all the muscles from the raw data, RMS Max, and MVC (p=0.001, p=0.003, and p=0.001 respectively). Conclusion: In conclusion, for non-habitual chewing activity, the results of this study recommend data processing using normalization with the second cycle during chewing

ABSTRACT

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and sustainability of using low level LASER therapy and CAD/CAM Michigan splint on improving the range of mandibular movements, muscle activity and reducing the pain. Material and Methods: 56 female patients were randomly divided into two groups. Group A: Patients received applications of low-level LASER therapy using semiconductor InGaAsp diode LASER type 940 nm with continuous mode of operation, applied for 180 sec per session for 12 sessions. Group B: Patients received Michigan splint of 2 mm thickness constructed on their upper teeth, the splint was 3D digitally printed. Electromyography was used to evaluate muscle activity, visual analogue scale was used to evaluate the pain intensity, ARCUS digma facebow was used to evaluate range of mandibular movements, and maximum mouth opening was taken using a millimeter ruler. They were measured before the beginning of the treatment, and at three and six month follow-up periods. Results: The results revealed that both low-level LASER therapy and Michigan splint reduce the myofascial pain, improved the range of the mandibular movements, and the muscles activity, but the effect of the low-level LASER therapy was more profound and sustainable. After 6 months from the beginning of the treatment, changes in masseter muscle activity (P= 0.001; effect size= 1.757), pain intensity (P= 0.003; effect size= 3), and range of mandibular movement (P= 0.001, effect size= 1.729) differed significantly between the two groups. Conclusions: Low-level LASER therapy had a better and more sustainable effect on reducing the pain intensity and improving the muscle activity as well as the mandibular movement when compared to Michigan splint (AU)


Objetivo: Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a eficácia e a durabilidade do uso da terapia LASER de baixa potência e da placa de Michigan CAD/CAM na melhora da amplitude dos movimentos mandibulares, atividade muscular e redução da dor. Material e Métodos: 56 pacientes do sexo feminino foram divididos aleatoriamente em dois grupos. Grupo A: os pacientes receberam aplicações de terapia LASER de baixa potência utilizando diodo semicondutor InGaAsp LASER tipo 940 nm em modo contínuo de operação, aplicado por 180 segundos por sessão durante 12 sessões. Grupo B: os pacientes receberam a placa de Michigan com uma espessura de 2 mm confeccionada sobre a arcada superior, a placa foi impressa digitalmente em 3D. A eletromiografia foi utilizada para avaliar a atividade muscular, a escala visual analógica foi utilizada para avaliar a intensidade da dor, o arco facial ARCUS digma foi utilizado para determinar a amplitude dos movimentos mandibulares e a abertura máxima da boca foi medida com uma régua milimétrica. Todas as medidas foram realizadas antes do início do tratamento e nos períodos de acompanhamento de três e seis meses. Resultados: Os resultados revelaram que tanto a terapia LASER de baixa potência como a placa de Michigan reduziram a dor miofascial, aumentaram a amplitude dos movimentos mandibulares e melhoraram a atividade muscular, mas o efeito da terapia LASER de baixa potência foi mais profundo e duradouro. Após 6 meses do início do tratamento, as alterações na atividade do músculo masseter (P= 0. 001; tamanho do efeito= 1,757), intensidade da dor (P= 0,003; tamanho do efeito= 3), e amplitude de movimento mandibular (P= 0,001, tamanho do efeito= 1,729) diferiram significativamente entre os dois grupos. Conclusão: A terapia com LASER de baixa potência teve um efeito melhor e mais duradouro na redução da intensidade da dor e na melhora da atividade muscular, bem como do movimento mandibular, quando comparada à placa de Michigan(AU)

ABSTRACT

Aim: The study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of the maximum bilateral molar bite force and the Root Mean Square (RMS) Electromyography (EMG) index of the masticatory muscles in the maximum bilateral molar bite (MMBMax) of women with myogenic Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD) and asymptomatic. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study, composed of 86 women allocated to the TMD Group (n=43) and Control Group (n=43) diagnosis through the Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders. The maximum bilateral molar bite force was evaluated using a bite dynamometer and the RMS EMG index of the masticatory muscles (anterior temporalis, masseter) during 5 seconds of the MMBMax task. Student t-test was used for data comparison between accuracy of the bite force and RMS EMG of masticatory muscles during the MMBMax. Results: The maximum bilateral molar bite force showed high accuracy (AUC=0.99) for the diagnosis of women with myogenic TMD and asymptomatic women, and the RMS EMG index evaluated during the MMBMax showed a moderate level of accuracy for all masticatory muscles (AUC=0.70 to 0.75). Conclusion: The bilateral bite dynamometer with a surface EMG during bilateral bite can be used to diagnose TMD in young women

ABSTRACT

Introduction: The objective of this study was to explore the electrical activity of the superficial muscles of mastication required to exert unilateral maximum bite force in subjects with different body mass index. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted with a sample of 21 participants with an average age of 22.9 ± 3.5 years who were classified according to their body mass index, forming three study groups: normal weight (18.5-24.9), overweight (25-29.9) and obesity (≥30), with seven participants each. Through surface electromyography, the superficial muscles of mastication during right and left maximum bite force were evaluated. Results: No statistically significant differences in the maximum bite force were observed between the study groups. The data obtained from the electromyographic analysis of the superficial muscles of mastication demonstrate a trend indicating that subjects with a normal body mass index similarly activate the muscles on each side when performing a maximum bite force on a particular side, while overweight or obese subjects demonstrated significantly greater activation of the temporalis muscle associated with the side where the maximal bite force is performed. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that the maximum bite force is not influenced by body mass index and that during the performance of a maximum bite force subjects with increased body mass index present a greater activation of the temporalis muscle associated with the side where the maximum bite force was performed.


Introducción: El objetivo de este estudio fue explorar la actividad eléctrica de los músculos superficiales de la masticación, necesarios para ejercer la máxima fuerza de mordida unilateral, en sujetos con diferente índice de masa corporal. Material y Métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional de corte transversal con una muestra de 21 participantes con una edad promedio de 22.9 ± 3.5 años, quienes fueron clasificados de acuerdo a su índice de masa corporal, formando tres grupos de estudio: peso normal (18,5-24,9), sobrepeso (25,0-29,9) y obesidad (≥30.0), con siete participantes cada uno. La electromiografía de superficie evaluó los músculos superficiales de la masticación durante la fuerza de mordida máxima derecha e izquierda. Resultados: No se observaron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en la fuerza de mordida máxima entre los grupos de estudio. Los datos obtenidos del análisis electromiográfico de los músculos superficiales de la masticación demuestran una tendencia que indica que los sujetos con un índice de masa corporal normal activan de manera similar los músculos de cada lado cuando ejercen la fuerza de mordida máxima en un lado en particular. mientras que los sujetos con sobrepeso u obesos demostraron una activación significativamente mayor del músculo temporal asociado con el lado donde se realiza la fuerza máxima de mordida. Conclusión: Nuestros hallazgos sugieren que la fuerza de mordida máxima no está influenciada por el índice de masa corporal y que durante la realización de una fuerza de mordida máxima los sujetos con índice de masa corporal aumentado presentan una mayor activación del músculo temporal asociado al lado donde se realizó la fuerza de mordida máxima.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN: Se ha postulado que la posición postural mandibular (PPM) no presentaría la menor actividad electromiográfica (EMG) de los músculos masetero y temporal, y que esta menor actividad se encontraría en una apertura mayor. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar la PPM en pacientes con diferentes relaciones oclusales y según tipo de método de posicionamiento, relacionándolo con la actividad EMG de los músculos Masetero y Temporal, además del registro de la actividad EMG en diferentes aperturas orales. Se analizó una muestra de 25 adultos de 18 a 28 años. Estos fueron clasificados según su sexo y clasificación de Angle. Se realizaron simultáneamente registros de EMG de superficie -masetero y porción anterior del temporal- y de EMA -posición de la mandíbula respecto al maxilar obteniendo distancia y ángulo- en diferentes posiciones mandibulares: PPM-considerando método sin comando y de deglución- y apertura gradual hasta alcanzar la máxima apertura. Se realizó un análisis estadístico descriptivo. La menor PPM obtenida fue de 1,0 ± 0,6 mm en mujeres Clase III y utilizando la técnica sin comando; el mayor fue de 2,5 ± 0,2 mm en mujeres Clase II y utilizando la técnica de deglución. La apertura angular presentó menor variabilidad que las distancias lineales. La actividad de los músculos Maseteros derecho e izquierdo presentaron valores similares entre sí, al igual que en los rangos de apertura hasta 30 mm en hombres y mujeres y en las diferentes relaciones oclusales. La actividad de los Temporales para hombres y mujeres y en las diferentes relaciones oclusales mostraron variaciones importantes entre derecha e izquierda y en los diferentes grados de apertura. La técnica presentada permitió el estudio de la dimensión vertical y aperturas orales a través de EMA y EMG.


SUMMARY: It has been postulated that the mandibular postural position (MPP) could not present the lower electromyographic activity (EMG) of the Masseter and Temporal muscles, and that the lower activity could be found in a larger opening. The objective of this study was to analyze the PPM in patients with different occlusal relationships and according to the positioning method, relating it to the EMG activity of the Masseter and Temporal muscles, in addition to recording the EMG activity in different oral openings. A sample of 25 adults aged 18 to 28 years was analyzed. Participants were classified according to their sex and Angle classification. Simultaneous recordings of surface EMG -Masseter and anterior portion of the Temporal- and EMA -position of the Mandible with respect to the Maxilla obtaining distance and angle- were performed in different mandibular positions: PPM-considering the method "without command" and "swallowing"- and gradual opening until the maximum opening is reached. A descriptive statistical analysis was performed. The lowest PPM obtained was 1.0 ± 0.6 mm in Class III women and using the "without command" method; the largest was 2.5 ± 0.2 mm in Class II women and using the "swallowing" method. The angular opening presented less variability than the linear distances. The activity of the right and left masseter muscles presented similar values, as well as in the opening ranges up to 30 mm in men and women and in the different occlusal relationships. The activity of the Temporals for men and women and in the different occlusal relationships showed important variations between right and left and in the different degrees of opening. The presented technique allowed the study of the vertical dimension and oral openings through EMA and EMG.

ABSTRACT

La masticación tiene como objetivo la adecuada preparación de los alimentos para su deglución y digestión. Cualquier alteración en el sistema estomatognático puede deteriorar la masticación. El odontó- logo es el profesional responsable de mantener y/o restaurar la función masticatoria. La evaluación de la función masticatoria puede hacerse de forma subjetiva utilizando cuestionarios para medir la percepción del paciente sobre su capacidad masticatoria o de forma objetiva analizando la fuerza oclusal, la actividad electromiográfica de los músculos mas- ticadores, la trayectoria de la mandíbula al masticar o la capacidad de trituración de los alimentos. Estos métodos se utilizan en proyectos de investigación, pero en la clínica ¿evaluamos si existe alguna alteración al masticar y al finalizar el tratamiento si cumplimos con el objetivo de restaurar la función masticatoria? ¿Realmente nos preocupamos por mantener y/o restaurar la función masticatoria? Por lo general no, ni en los consultorios, ni en las clínicas universitarias. Es esencial que nos concienticemos de nuestra responsabilidad y para ello es necesario que se le dé mayor peso curricular a la función masticatoria y cómo evaluarla. Seamos realmente custodios de la función masticatoria de nuestros pacientes (AU)


The goal of chewing is to properly prepare food for swallowing and digestion. Any problem in the stomatognathic system can deteriorate chewing. The professional responsible of maintaining and/or restoring masticatory function is the dentist. Masticatory function can be evaluated subjectively through questionnaires to measure the patient's perception of his/her masticatory capacity or objectively analyzing occlusal force, the electromyographic activity of the masticatory muscles, the movements of the mandible during chewing or the individual's capacity to breakdown food. These methods are used in research projects but, do we examine if there is any problem during chewing and if we are achieving our goal of restoring masticatory function at the end of the treatment in our offices? Do we really focus on maintaining and/or restoring masticatory function? Not truly, not in our offices or university clinics. It is imperative that we acknowledge our responsibility but for that it is essential that masticatory function and how to evaluate it is given more weight in the curriculum. Let us be genuine guardians of the masticatory function of our patients (AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción: El colgajo pediculado realizado con músculo temporal es una opción terapéutica válida para la reconstrucción de defectos de la región facial posterior a una resección quirúrgica, es una alternativa aceptable a los colgajos libres cuando estos no pueden ser utilizados ya sea por el performance status o patología de base de los pacientes a tratar o por no contar con cirujano microvascular. Objetivo: Describir nuestra experiencia en el uso de este colgajo para la reconstrucción de 7 pacientes con defectos de órbita, paladar y mucosa yugal tras la cirugía ablativa de diversas patologías. Materiales y métodos: Revisión retrospectiva de los pacientes del Servicio de Cirugía General del Hospital José Ramon Vidal, Corrientes-Argentina operados en el periodo comprendido desde enero del 2019 hasta enero del 2021.En este lapso, 7 pacientes fueron sometidos a cirugía reconstructiva inmediata con colgajo de músculo temporal en defectos del tercio medio de la región facial. Resultados: Un total de siete pacientes, (4 masculino- 3 femenino), sometidos a cirugía ablativa por presentar patología maligna (6) y patología benigna (1), con una edad media de 60 años. Dos colgajos se utilizaron para defectos de región orbitaria y partes blandas, seis para defectos en la cavidadoral­ en un paciente se emplearon los 2 músculos temporales-. El colgajo fue exitoso en todos los casos, se presentaron complicaciones menores como: dolor postoperatorio, hematoma, trismus, depresión de la zona dadora. Se obtuvo márgenes libres en el total de los procedimientos. Discusión: La cirugía reconstructiva con colgajo pediculado de musculo temporal es una excelente alternativa de colgajo regional con buenos resultados, posee alta tasa de éxito justificada por su buena vascularización. Además, la proximidad del músculo temporal con la región maxilofacial y su inserción contribuyen a obtener un arco de rotación hasta 180° sin comprometersu vitalidad. Es útil para la reconstrucción en un acto quirúrgico, acortando el tiempo intraoperatorio y sin cambios posicionales. Conclusiones: El colgajo de músculo temporal resulta una opción válida a los colgajos libres osteo-mio-cutáneos para defectos mixtos (óseos y de partes blandas) del tercio medio facial luego de la cirugía ablativa, cuando estos últimos no pueden ser implementados teniendo en cuenta varios aspectos como performance estatus de los pacientes, patología de base y necesidad de contar con un cirujano microvascular


Introduction: temporalis muscle vascularized flaps is a valid therapeutic option for reconstruction of defects in facial region after surgical resections. It is an acceptable alternative to free transfer flaps when these cannot be used because of the patient's performance state and base pathologies. Or because of the lack of a microvascular surgeon. Objectives: To describe on experience applying this kind of flaps for the reconstruction or 7 patients, with defects in palate orbit and yugal mucose after resective surgeries for various pathologies. Materials and methods: retrospective revision of patients in the general department, of Jose R Vidal Hospital (Corrientes - Argentina) into underwent surgery during the period between January 2019 ad January 2021. A total of 7 patients underwent immediate reconstructive surgery using a temporalis muscle flap. Results: 7 patients (4 males y 3 female) underwent resective surgery for different malignant (6) and benign (1) with a median age of 60. Two flaps were used for defects of the orbitary region and soft tissue, six for defects of the oral cavity (in one patient both temporalis muscle were used. Te procedure was successful in all cases, and minor complication were present, (post operatory pain, hematoma, trismus, excavation of the donor region) all procedures resulted un surgical margins of lesion of malignancy. Discussion: reconstructive surgery using a vascularized flap of temporalis muscle is an excellent alternative for regional flaps with good results and a high success justified because of its a good irrigation. Besides the proximity between temporalis muscle and the maxillofacial region, possibilities a flap rotation of up to 180 grades without compromising its vitality it is also useful for reconstruction in a single surgery shortening intra-operatory time while avoiding repositioning of the patients during the procedure. Conclusions: Temporalis muscle flaps are valid option to free osteo- mayo- cutaneal flaps for mixed defects (involving bone and soft tissue) of the medium third of facial region after resective surgeries when the latter cannot be carried and because of various aspects little performance status base pathologies and lack of microvascular margin.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: A mastigação tem uma importância significativa para o desenvolvimento das estruturas do Sistema Estomatognático (SE), sendo esta aperfeiçoada no decorrer da vida. A eletromiografia de superfície destaca-se como uma importante ferramenta de avaliação capaz de quantificar a atividade elétrica dos músculos mastigatórios, sendo uma forma de caracterizar o comportamento dessa função estomatognática. Observando a complexidade e importância da mastigação, torna-se importante conhecer melhor as modificações desta função no decorrer dos ciclos de vida. Objetivo: O objetivo do estudo foi realizar análise eletromiográfica dos músculos da mastigação em indivíduos sem queixas orofaciais representantes dos ciclos da infância, adolescência, fase adulta e senescência. Método: A amostra foi composta por 120 voluntários de ambos os sexos, distribuídos em quatro grupos de acordo com a faixa de idade. Os voluntários foram submetidos à avaliação da mastigação por meio da eletromiografia de superfície durante o repouso, contração voluntária máxima, mastigações unilaterais direita e esquerda e mastigação habitual; bem como a verificação da força de mordida entre os dentes incisivos centrais, molares do lado direito e molares do lado esquerdo. Realizou-se, ainda, a tomada de medidas antropométricas faciais das hemifaces direta e esquerda dos voluntários. Resultados: Os resultados apontaram comportamentos morfológicos e funcionais distintos entre os grupos estudados, bem como a influência da variável sexo nas respostas eletrofisiológicas da função mastigatória. Conclusão: foi verificado que o comportamento mastigatório variou segundo a idade e o sexo, apontando uma tendência de correlação entre os componetes anatômicos e funcionais envolvidos nessa função estomatognática.


Introduction: Chewing is of significant importance for the development of the structures of the Stomatognathic System (SE), which is improved throughout life. Surface electromyography stands out as an important assessment tool capable of quantifying the electrical activity of the masticatory muscles, being a way to characterize the behavior of this stomatognathic function. Observing the complexity and importance of chewing, it is important to better understand the changes in this function during the life cycles. Objective: The objective of the study was to perform an electromyographic analysis of the muscles of mastication in individuals without orofacial complaints representing the cycles of childhood, adolescence, adulthood and senescence. Method: The sample consisted of 120 volunteers of both sexes, distributed in four groups according to the age group. The volunteers underwent chewing assessment by means of surface electromyography during rest, maximum voluntary contraction, unilateral right and left chewing and habitual chewing; as well as the verification of the bite force between the central incisor teeth, molars on the right side and molars on the left side. Facial anthropometric measurements of the direct and left hemifaces of the volunteers were also taken. Results: The results showed distinct morphological and functional behaviors between the groups studied, as well as the influence of the gender variable on the electrophysiological responses of the masticatory function. Conclusion: it was found that the masticatory behavior varied according to age and sex, pointing to a trend of correlation between the anatomical and functional components involved in this stomatognathic function.

Objetivo: El objetivo del estudio fue realizar un análisis electromiográfico de los músculos de la masticación en individuos sin quejas orofaciales representando los ciclos de niñez, adolescencia, adultez y senescencia. Método: La muestra estuvo formada por 120 voluntarios de ambos sexos, distribuidos en cuatro grupos según el grupo de edad. Los voluntarios fueron sometidos a valoración masticatoria mediante electromiografía de superficie en reposo, máxima contracción voluntaria, masticación unilateral derecha e izquierda y masticación habitual; así como la verificación de la fuerza de mordida entre los incisivos centrales, molares del lado derecho y molares del lado izquierdo. También se tomaron medidas antropométricas faciales de los hemifaces directo e izquierdo de los voluntarios. Resultados: Los resultados mostraron distintos comportamientos morfológicos y funcionales entre los grupos estudiados, así como la influencia de la variable género en las respuestas electrofisiológicas de la función masticatoria. Conclusión: se encontró que el comportamiento masticatorio varió según la edad y el sexo, apuntando a una tendencia de correlación entre los componentes anatómicos y funcionales involucrados en esta función estomatognática.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: A eletromiografia de superfície (EMGs) é um exame objetivo, indolor, não invasivo e de fácil aplicação utilizado para avaliar as atividades elétricas de determinado músculo ou grupo muscular durante a máxima contração voluntária, repouso e dinâmica funcional. Objetivo: Comparar a variação do potencial elétrico dos músculos masseteres entre o repouso e máxima contração voluntária em indivíduos com faixas etárias diferentes. Método: A pesquisa foi aprovada em comitê de ética e executada na Clínica Escola do Departamento de Fonoaudiologia da Universidade Federal de Sergipe obedecendo aos rigores éticos e de biossegurança. A amostra foi composta por 26 adultos sem queixas orofaciais, sexo masculino e idade variando entre 26 e 42 anos, divididos em Grupo 1 e Grupo 2, os quais assinaram um termo de consentimento livre e esclarecido concordando com a participação na pesquisa. Os voluntários foram submetidos à avaliação eletromiográfica dos músculos masseteres durante o repouso e máxima contração voluntária. Resultados: Houve uma diminuição da atividade elétrica do masseter quando se comparou o G1 com o G2, porém não foi observada uma linearidade desse declínio ao analisar o universo estudado. Por isso, deve-se levar em consideração que o envelhecimento é um processo fisiológico particular de cada ser, sendo influenciado por múltiplos fatores intrínsecos e extrínsecos ao organismo. Observou-se, também, que no repouso nenhum indivíduo teve absolutamente 0 nos seus registros eletromiográficos, caracterizando um estado basal de atividade elétrica para garantia do tônus. Conclusão: Foi verificado que os voluntários com 30 anos ou mais apresentaram um declínio nos potenciais mioelétricos e, possivelmente, um déficit de força associado.


Introduction: Surface electromyography (EMGs) is an objective, painless, non-invasive and easily applied test used to assess the electrical activities of a particular muscle or muscle group during maximum voluntary contraction, rest and functional dynamics. Objective: Compare the variation in the electrical potential of the masseter muscles between rest and maximum voluntary contraction in individuals with different age groups. Method: The research was approved by the ethics committee and carried out at the Clínica Escola of the department of Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences at the Federal University of Sergipe, obeying ethical and biosafety rigors. The sample consisted of 26 adults without orofacial complaints, male with age from 26 to 42 years old, divided into Group 1 and Group 2, who signed a consent form agreeing to participate in the research. The volunteers underwent electromyographic evaluation of the masseter muscles during rest and maximum voluntary contraction. Results: There was a decrease in the electrical activity of the masseter when comparing G1 to G2; however, there was no linearity of this decline when analyzing the universe studied. Therefore, it must be taken into account that aging is a particular physiological process of each individual, being influenced by multiple factors, intrinsic and extrinsic to the organism. It was also observed at rest, no individual had absolutely 0 in their electromyographic records, characterizing a baseline state of electrical activity to guarantee tone. Conclusion: It was found that volunteers aged 30 years or more showed a decline in myoelectric potentials and possibly an associated strength deficit.


Introducción: Electromiografía de superficie (EMG) es una prueba objetiva, indolora, no invasiva y de fácil aplicación que se utiliza para evaluar actividades eléctricas de un músculo o grupo muscular en particular durante la contracción voluntaria máxima, el reposo y la dinámica funcional. Objetivo: Comparar la variación del potencial eléctrico de los maseteros entre reposo y contracción voluntaria máxima en individuos de diferentes grupos de edad. Método: La investigación fue aprobada por el comité de ética y realizada en la Clínica Escola del departamento de logopedia de la Universidad Federal de Sergipe obedeciendo rigores éticos y de bioseguridad. La muestra estuvo conformada por 26 adultos sin quejas orofaciales, varones y edades comprendidas entre 26 y 42 años dividido en Grupo 1 y Grupo 2, quienes firmaron formulario de consentimiento aceptando participar en la investigación. Los voluntarios se sometieron a evaluación electromiográfica de los músculos maseteros durante reposo y la máxima contracción voluntaria. Resultados: Hubo disminución en la actividad eléctrica del masetero cuando se comparó G1 con G2, sin embargo no hubo linealidad de esta disminución al analizar el universo estudiado. Por tanto, hay que tener en cuenta que el envejecimiento es proceso fisiológico particular de cada ser, siendo influenciado por múltiples factores intrínsecos y extrínsecos al organismo. También se observó que en reposo ningún individuo tenía absolutamente 0 en sus registros electromiográficos, caracterizando estado basal de actividad eléctrica para garantizar el tono. Conclusión: Se encontró que los voluntarios de 30 años o más mostraron una disminución en los potenciales mioeléctricos y posiblemente un déficit de fuerza asociado.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Avaliar se customizações da prótese total mandibular (reembasamento e restabelecimento da dimensão vertical de oclusão) influenciam na amplitude eletromiográfica dos músculos masseter e temporal, força máxima de mordida e qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde oral de indivíduos edêntulos. Materiais e métodos: Usuários de próteses totais que usavam o mesmo par de próteses por mais do que 5 anos foram incluídos (sem disfunção temporomandibular) (n=15). Avaliações de qualidade de vida (Oral Health Impact Profile for Edentulous ­ OHIP-EDENT), força máxima de mordida, e eletromiografia dos músculos masseter e temporal foram realizadas em 5 tempos diferentes (T1 ­ próteses antigas originais; T2 ­ após 18 dias de uso da prótese mandibular reembasada; T3 ­ após 18 dias do restabelecimento da dimensão vertical de oclusão; e T4 e T5 ­ 30 e 100 dias de uso de novas próteses totais. Resultados: Não houve diferenças significativas entre os pontos de tempo para todos os testes eletromiográficos e de força máxima de mordida. O OHIP-EDENT mostrou que o reembasamento pode contribuir para uma maior adaptação da prótese total mandibular e conforto do paciente (T2), em contrapartida T3 foi associado com o desconforto do paciente (p<0.05). Conclusão: Baseado na avaliação de qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde oral, o reembasamento da prótese total mandibular ocasionou um aumento do conforto mastigatório para os pacientes, e o restabelecimento prévio da dimensão vertical de oclusão causou um desconforto para os pacientes. A amplitude eletromiográfica mostrou que as customizações realizadas neste estudo não aumentaram ou diminuíram o esforço mastigatório significativamente. Além disso, todos os valores de força máxima de mordida observados estavam dentro do clinicamente aceitável(AU)


Objective: To evaluate whether customizations of mandibular complete dentures (relining and restoration of the vertical dimension of occlusion) influence the electromyographic amplitude of the masseter and temporal muscles, maximum bite force and oral health-related quality of life of edentulous individuals. Materials and methods: Complete denture wearers who wore the same pair of dentures for more than 5 years were included (without temporomandibular dysfunction) (n=15). Assessments of quality of life (Oral Health Impact Profile for Edentulous ­ OHIP-EDENT), maximum bite force, and electromyography of the masseter and temporal muscles were performed at 5 different times (T1 - original old dentures; T2 - after 18 days of wearing relined mandibular denture; T3 - after 18 days of restoration of the vertical dimension of occlusion; and T4 and T5 - 30 and 100 days of wearing new complete dentures. Results: There were no significant differences between the time points for all electromyographic and maximum bite force tests. The OHIP-EDENT showed that relining can contribute to greater adaptation of the mandibular denture and patient comfort (T2), in contrast, T3 was associated with patient discomfort (p<0.05). Conclusion: Based on the assessment of quality of life related to oral health, the reline of the mandibular complete denture caused an increase in masticatory comfort for the patients, and the previous definitive restoration of the vertical dimension of occlusion caused discomfort for patients. The electromyographic amplitude showed that the customizations performed in this study did not significantly increase or decrease masticatory effort. In addition, all observed maximum bite force values were within the clinically acceptable range(AU)

ABSTRACT

Los contactos mediotrusivos son aquellos contactos oclusales que se encuentran entre las vertientes in- ternas de las cúspides linguales maxilares y las inter- nas de las cúspides bucales mandibulares del lado de no trabajo durante los movimientos de lateralidad. Estos contactos mediotrusivos podría desencadenar trastornos temporomandibulares, afectando la oclu- sión y la articulación temporomandibular. El objetivo de este estudio es analizar las caracterís- ticas y la relación entre los contactos mediotrusivos con la articulación temporomandibular y la oclusión en pacientes que consultan al Servicio de Oclusión y ATM del Hospital Odontológico de la Facultad de Odontología de la Universidad Nacional del Nordeste (AU)


Mediotrusive contacts are those occlusal contacts that are found between the internal slopes of the maxillary lingual cusps and the internal slopes of the mandibular buccal cusps on the non-working side during laterality movements. These mediotrusive contacts could trigger temporomandibular disorders affecting occlusion and temporomandibular joint. The objective of this study was to analyze the characteristics and relationship of mediotrusive contacts with occlusion and the temporomandibular joint, in patients who consult the Occlusion and TMJ Service of the Dental Hospital of the Faculty of Dentistry of the National University of the Northeast (AU)

ABSTRACT

RESUMO Objetivos Verificar o efeito da aplicação da bandagem elástica sobre músculos mastigatórios no alívio da dor, em comparação com outras intervenções, em indivíduos com disfunções temporomandibulares. Estratégia de pesquisa Busca nas bases de dados LILACS, IBECS, CINAHL, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane, Embase e MEDLINE. A pergunta norteadora, utilizando-se os elementos da estratégia PICOT (população, intervenção, comparador, outcome/desfecho, tipo de estudo) foi: "A bandagem elástica promove alívio da dor em indivíduos com disfunção temporomandibular?". Critérios de seleção Foram incluídos ensaios clínicos que fizeram uso da bandagem elástica em músculos mastigatórios de indivíduos com disfunção temporomandibular, publicados em português, inglês ou espanhol. Foram excluídos os artigos que não abordavam o método de aplicação e o desfecho "intensidade da dor". A avaliação da elegibilidade foi realizada pela leitura dos títulos e resumos, bem como pela leitura dos estudos na íntegra. Foram extraídas informações sobre ano de publicação, país de condução do estudo, idade e condição clínica da amostra, tratamento e resultados da avaliação da dor. Na metanálise, realizada por meio do método do inverso da variância, a média do valor indicado na escala visual analógica foi considerada como medida de efeito da intervenção. Resultados Foram localizadas, inicialmente, 344 referências, das quais, 3 foram selecionadas. Foram identificados resultados significativamente superiores na redução da dor, em uma semana de uso da bandagem, na comparação com outras abordagens conservadoras analisadas. Conclusão Considerando os artigos incluídos, a bandagem elástica apresentou resultados significativos para maior redução da dor na primeira semana. Porém, o número reduzido de estudos e a presença de vieses limitam os achados.


ABSTRACT Purpose To verify the effects on pain relief by applying kinesiology tape on the masticatory muscles, in comparison with other interventions, in people with temporomandibular disorders. Research strategy Search in LILACS, IBECS, CINAHL, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane, EMBASE, and MEDLINE. The research question, based on the PICOT components, was: "Does kinesiology tape applied on to masticatory muscles relieve the pain in people with temporomandibular disorders?". Selection criteria The included articles were clinical trials using kinesiology tape on masticatory muscles in people with temporomandibular disorders, published in Portuguese, English, or Spanish. Articles whose authors had not adopted this application method and pain intensity as an outcome were excluded. Eligibility was assessed by reading their titles, abstracts, and full texts. The following information was extracted: year of publication, the country where the study was conducted, age and clinical condition of the sample, treatment, and pain assessment results. The meta-analysis, using the inverse variance method, considered the mean value indicated in the visual analog scale as the intervention effect measure. Results Initially, 344 references were retrieved, of which three were selected. Significantly better pain relief results were identified after 1 week of using the tape, in comparison with the other conservative approaches analyzed. Conclusion Considering the included articles, the kinesiology tape had significant results with greater pain relief in the first week. However, small number of studies and their biases limit the findings.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Objective: To analyze and compare changes of quality of life parameter among dental patients rehabilitated by the implant-supported overdentures with different attachment systems. Material and Methods: Forty-eight patients were recruited as a study cohort. The implant placement procedure was based on the results obtained by CBCT scanning and individualized surgical templates manufactured for correct implant placement. Each individual received two k3Pro Implants (Sure Type with 4.0 or 4.5 mm in diameter) at the intraforaminal area due to standard protocol of implantation provided by the manufacturer under local anesthesia. All patients were distributed between two groups based on the fact of using either Locator- or ball-attachments. Rank correlation was measured using Spearman correlation coefficient, while linear correlation was evaluated by Pearson correlation coefficient. Results: No statistically meaningful differences were noted regarding patients' distribution among groups considering age (p>0.05) and gender (p>0.05). Provided patient-level analysis demonstrated that increase of conventional full denture service time was positively correlated with escalation of OHIP-EDENT scores. The most prominent inter-correspondences were noted specifically between longevity of denture service and elevation of scores within "Functional limitation" (r=0.61; p<0.05), "Physical pain" (r=0.51; p<0.05) and "Physical disability" (r=0.57; p<0.05) subdomains. No statistically argumented regressions were noted between increase tendency of OHIP-EDENT scores and gender (p>0.05) or age (p>0.05) parameters. Conclusion: Significant improvements of quality of life measured with OHIP-EDENT were noted for both types of attachments compared to the pre-treatment situation independently of additionally provided surface electromyography-based alignment.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: As disfunções temporomandibulares apresentam uma variedade de sinais e sintomas que afetam a articulação temporomandibular, músculos da mastigação e estruturas relacionadas e muitos pacientes apresentam queixas cervicais. Objetivo: Verificar a correlação de dor à palpação dos músculos da mastigação (masseter, temporal anterior, pterigoideos lateral e medial) e digástrico, com a queixa de dor no pescoço; verificar a correlação de dor à palpação nos músculos da mastigação e digástrico, com dor à palpação no esternocleidomastoideo e trapézio, e se a força de correlação é diferente entre eles. Material e método: Foram avaliados 232 prontuários da clínica odontológica das Disfunções Temporomandibulares da Faculdade de Odontologia de Araçatuba, do período de 2011 a 2013. Os dados coletados foram submetidos à análise estatística, com alfa (α) = 0.01 para todos os casos, exceto digástrico quando associado ao trapézio (α) = 0.05. Resultado: A maioria dos pacientes era do sexo feminino. Houve correlação positiva entre dor à palpação nos músculos temporal, masseter, pterigoideo lateral, esternocleidomastoideo e trapézio, e queixa de dor no pescoço. Também houve correlação positiva entre a dor em todos os músculos da mastigação (masseter, temporal, pterigoideo lateral e medial) e digástrico e a dor no esternocleidomastoideo. Bem como a correlação de presença de dor nos músculos masseter, temporal, pterigoideo lateral e digástrico com dor no trapézio. A correlação de dor foi mais forte para o músculo esternocleidomastoideo, exceto para o pterigoideo lateral. Conclusão: Existe correlação positiva entre a queixa de dor à palpação nos músculos da mastigação, exceto pterigiodeo medial, e os músculos cervicais (esternocleidomastoideo e trapézio). A força de correlação entre a dor do masseter e temporal anterior com o esternocleidomastoideo é mais forte do que com o trapézio.


Introduction: Temporomandibular disorders present a variety of signs and symptoms that affect the temporomandibular joint, masticatory muscles and related structures, and many patients have cervical complaints. Objective: To verify the correlation of pain on palpation of the mastication muscles (masseter, anterior temporal, lateral and medial pterygoid), and digastric muscles with the complaint of neck pain; to verify the correlation of pain on palpation in the masticatory and digastric muscles with pain on palpation in the sternocleidomastoid and trapezius and if the correlation strength is different between them. Material and method: From 2011 to 2013, 232 medical records from the dental clinic of Temporomandibular Disorders of the Faculty of Dentistry of Araçatuba were evaluated. The data collected were submitted to statistical analysis, with alpha (α) = 0.01 for all cases, except digastric when associated with the trapezoid (α) = 0.05. Result Most patients were female. There was a positive correlation between pain on palpation in the temporal, masseter, lateral pterygoid, sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles, and complaints of neck pain. There was also a positive correlation between pain in all muscles of mastication (masseter, temporal, lateral and medial pterygoid), and digastric and sternocleidomastoid pain. As well as the correlation of the presence of pain in the masseter, temporal, lateral pterygoid and digastric muscles with pain in the trapezius. Pain correlation was strongest for the sternocleidomastoid muscle, except for the lateral pterygoid. Conclusion There is a positive correlation between the complaint of pain on palpation in the masticatory muscles, except Medial pterygoid, with the cervical muscles (sternocleidomastoid and trapezius). The strength of correlation between masseter and anterior temporal pain with the sternocleidomastoid is stronger than with the trapezius.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: A articulação temporomandibular (ATM) é uma estrutura especializada e excepcional, relacionada com funções estomatognáticas e propensa à disfunções associadas ao sistema maxilo-mandibular. Dentre essas alterações, a luxação é uma entidade patológica importante. Possui patogênese multifatorial e pode se manifestar de modo recidivante. Diversos tratamentos são propostos, dentre eles, a criação de anteparos aloplásticos. Paciente do sexo feminino, 22 anos com história de luxação mandibular recidivante com sintomatologia congruente ao quadro. Realizou-se tratamento cirúrgico com instalação de miniplacas de titânio do sistema 2.0 mm em forma de duplo T com curvatura de aproximadamente 90°, na região de eminencia articular. Após 1 ano e 6 meses, a paciente segue assintomática, sem lesões nervosas e sem luxações. A luxação da ATM é um quadro clínico angustiante, sendo a segunda luxação mais frequente e incidente em mulheres. Caracteriza-se por: incapacidade de fechar a boca, depressão cutânea pré-auricular, ptialismo e musculatura mastigatória tensa. A paciente apresentava severas luxações recidivantes, juntamente com ansiedade e angústia social. A utilização de placas evitou a hiperexcussão e remissão do quadro. É um procedimento menos agressivo e reversível. A técnica utilizada demonstrou bom prognóstico e, dentre as opções cirúrgicas, é uma técnica mais conservadora... (AU)


Introduction: TMJ dislocation is a multifactorial joint pathology that occurs when the mandibular condyle exceeds the articular eminence and cannot return to its original anatomical position, making it impossible for the patient to close the mouth. A 22-year-old female patient complaining of succes sive episodes of mandibular dislocation, characterizing the condition of dislocation redicivant TMJ. Surgical treatment was performed with the installation of 2.0 mm double T-shaped titanium miniplates with approximately 90° curvature in the region of articular eminence. After 8 months, the patient has no complaints, no signs of facial nerve damage and no episodes of dislocation. TMJ dislocation is a socially and psychologically distressing clinical condition, being the second most frequent dislocation in the body and with higher incidence in female patients. Key features are inability to close the mouth, pre auricular cutaneous depression, excessive salivation, and tense and spasmodic masticatory muscles. In this case, the patient presented severe relapsing dislocations, along with anxiety and social anguish. The use of plates acts as a mechanical barrier for condylar movements, avoiding hyperexcussion, being a less aggressive and reversible procedure, having only the disadvantage of the possibility of plate frac ture. The technique used with the objective of limiting condyle movement, among the surgical options, is a more conservative technique... (AU)

ABSTRACT

Abstract BoNT-A has been widely used for TMD therapy. However, the potential benefits compared to dry needling techniques are not clear. Objective this study aimed to compare the immediate effects of botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) injections and Acupuncture in myofascial temporomandibular disorders (TMD) patients. Methodology 54 women were divided into three groups (n=18). AC patients received four sessions of traditional acupuncture, being one session/week during 20-min. BoNT-A patients were bilaterally injected with 30U and 10U in masseter and anterior temporal muscles, respectively. Moreover, a control group received saline solution (SS) in the same muscles. Self-perceived pain was assessed by visual analog scale, while pressure pain threshold (PPT) was verified by a digital algometer. Electromyographic evaluations (EMG) of anterior temporal and masseter muscles were also measured. All variables were assessed before and 1-month after therapies. The mixed-design two-way repeated measures ANOVA and Tukey's post-hoc tests were used for analysis, considering a=0.05. Results Self-perceived pain decreased in all groups after one month of therapy (P<.001). BoNT-A was not better than AC in pain reduction (P=0.05), but both therapies were more effective in reducing pain than SS (P<0.05). BoNT-A was the only treatment able to improve PPT values (P<0.05); however, a severe decrease of EMG activity was also found in this group, which is considered an adverse effect. Conclusion after one month of follow-up, all therapies reduced the self-perceived pain in myofascial TMD patients, but only BoNT-A enhanced PPT yet decreased EMG.

ABSTRACT

Resumo Introdução Ocorrendo de forma branda e não invasiva, a terapia craniossacral é uma técnica de manipulação na qual o terapeuta exerce leve pressão sobre estrutura óssea, sendo utilizada como tratamento para diversos problemas de saúde, como cefaleias e DTM. Objetivo Analisar os efeitos da terapia craniossacral em indivíduos com disfunção temporomandibular associada a cefaleia do tipo tensional. Material e método Estudo descritivo, intervencionista com abordagem quantitativa, realizado no núcleo de atenção médica integrado, no período de fevereiro a setembro de 2018. Foram inclusos no estudo indivíduos com disfunção temporomandibular e que apresentaram cefaleia dentre os sintomas. Foram exclusos aqueles que não compareceram ao atendimento ou não apresentaram a sintomatologia. Previamente, foi realizada uma avaliação para identificar a dor na crise de cefaleia, a mensuração da amplitude de movimento mandibular e a palpação dos músculos da mastigação, para classificar a dor em leve, moderada ou forte. Após oito atendimentos, sendo duas vezes por semana com duração de 15 minutos cada, todos foram reavaliados. Resultado Participaram do estudo 31 indivíduos, sendo 90,3% do sexo feminino. Na classificação do RDC/TMD, houve prevalência dos grupos G1 e G1G3. Quanto a mobilidade mandibular, houve ganho para os movimentos de abertura, com 45,6 mm (±7,5) antes da terapia e, na reavaliação, 47,4 mm (±8,4); desvios laterais antes da terapia (lado direito - 7,0 ±2,8) e (lado esquerdo - 7,7±3,0), e após a terapia (8,0±3,0) e (8,6±2,9), respectivamente; o movimento de protusão, antes com média 5,03 ±2,5 e, na reavaliação, com 4,8 ±1,9. Na palpação muscular, destacamos redução do quadro álgico no músculo pterigoideo medial com média 2,2 (±1,05) antes da terapia e 1,5 (±1,02) após a terapia. Conclusão Concluímos que a terapia se mostrou eficaz no tratamento de pacientes com disfunção temporomandibular associada a cefaleia do tipo tensional.


Abstract Introduction Occurring in a mild and non-invasive way, craniosacra therapy is a manipulation technique that the therapist exerts light pressure on the bone structure, being used as a treatment for several health problems, such as headaches and TMD. Objective To analyze the effects of craniosacra therapy in individuals with temporomandibular disorders associated with tension-type headache. Material and method Descriptive, interventional study with a quantitative approach, carried out in the integrated medical care center from February to September 2018. Individuals with temporomandibular disorder and who presented headache among the symptoms were included in the study. And those who did not attend the service or did not present symptoms were excluded. Previously, an assessment was carried out to identify pain during headache attacks, measurement of mandibular range of motion and palpation of mastication muscles, to quantify pain as mild, moderate and severe. After 8 consultations, twice a week lasting 15 minutes each, all were reassessed. Result 31 individuals participated in the study, being 90.3% female. In the classification of the RDC/TMD, there was a prevalence of groups G1 and G1G3. Regarding mandibular mobility, there was a gain for opening movements with 45.6mm (±7.5) before therapy and 47.4mm (±8.4) in the reassessment; lateral deviations before therapy (right side - 7.0 ±2.8) and (left side - 7.7±3.0) and after (8.0±3.0) and (8.6±2.9); and the protrusion movement before with an average of 5.03 ± 2.5 and in the reassessment with 4.8 ± 1.9. And in muscle palpation, we highlight a reduction in pain in the medial pterygoid muscle with a mean of 2.2 (±1.05) before therapy and 1.5 (±1.02) after. Conclusion We conclude that the therapy has been shown to be effective in treating patients with temporomandibular disorders associated with tension-type headache.

Las palabras clave utilizadas en la búsqueda de los artículos fueron identificados en los Descriptores en Ciencias de la Salud (DEDS) siendo las siguientes: "Evaluation", "Mastication", "Masticatory Muscles", "Masseter Muscle" y "Temporal Muscle". Utilizando también OR y AND como operadores lógicos. Se encontró 1311 estudios en las bases de datos investigadas, después de la revisión fueron eliminados 1278 y elegidos 33 artículos; y considerándose sólo 21 artículos según criterios de selección y objetivo. Todos los artículos revisados obtuvieron un alto grado de evidencia (nivel I) luego de realizar una evaluación crítica de la evidencia científica, determinando que todos los artículos evaluados fueron catalogados como estudios clínicos aleatorizados y con diseños experimentales. Siendo excluidos los estudios longitudinales, con individuos con patologías. Se concluye que el método que se utiliza mayormente es la evaluación clínica fonoaudiológica, mediante observación y palpación de musculatura orofacial, seguido de electromiografía de superficie, electrognatografía y la escala analógica visual para la saciedad. Las características observadas fueron, número de ciclos de masticación, velocidad de la masticación, porcentaje de actividad muscular eléctrica, fuerza muscular, tipo de masticación según el lado de preferencia de masticación, eficiencia masticatoria y tipología facial.


The objective of the present study was to present a systematic review of the literature related to studies that address chewing evaluation methods and their main characteristics. As a research strategy, it was carried out in the PubMed, Web Of Science, Medline, SciELO and Lilacs databases from 2006 to 2020. All available studies were chosen as selection criteria, without language restriction; of the last 14 years; whose participants did not present neurological or psychiatric alterations. They were analyzed based on their relationship with the object of the present study. The keywords used in the search for the articles were identified in the Health Sciences Descriptors (DEDS) being the following: "Evaluation", "Mastication", "Masticatory Muscles", "Masseter Muscle" and "Temporal Muscle". Also using OR and AND as logical operators. 1311 studies were found in the investigated databases, after the review 1278 were eliminated and 33 articles were chosen; and considering only 21 articles according to selection and objective criteria. All the articles reviewed obtained a high degree of evidence (level I) after making a critical evaluation of the scientific evidence, determining that all the articles evaluated were classified as randomized clinical studies with experimental designs. Longitudinal studies with individuals with pathologies being excluded. It is concluded that the method most used is the speech therapy clinical evaluation, by observation and palpation of the orofacial muscles, followed by surface electromyography, electrognatography and the visual analog scale for satiety. The observed characteristics were, number of chewing cycles, chewing speed, percentage of electrical muscle activity, muscle strength, chewing type according to chewing preference side, chewing efficiency and facial typology.
