TLDR
In this paper, the authors evaluated the interocclusal appliance efficiency in patients with temporomandibular disorder (TMD), by using computerized electromyographic (EMG) evaluation in the rest position of the mandible.Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the interocclusal appliance efficiency in patients with temporomandibular disorder (TMD), by using computerized electromyographic (EMG) evaluation in the rest position of the mandible. Twenty-two patients (male and female) with TMD symptoms, between 18 and 53 years of age, were examined. EMG evaluations were performed before the treatment and during the 90th, 120th and 150th day of using the interocclusal appliance therapy. In the 90th and 120th day, inserting canine guidance and group function disclusion, respectively, changed interocclusal appliance. The results showed that group function disclusion caused shorter EMG activity in the mandible rest position for the anterior temporalis muscle.read more

Effect of botulinum toxin-A in myofascial pain patients with or without functional disc displacement.
TL;DR: The injection of botulinum toxin-A decreases the muscle action potential in 14 days, and the patients also show improvement in pain and psychological status.

TL;DR: In this article, the right and left masseter and temporalis muscles were measured during maximum teeth clenching in 103 temporomandibular disorders (RDC/TMD) patients, divided into three non-overlapping groups: myogenous, arthrogenous and psycogenous patients.

TL;DR: Surface electromyography of the masticatory muscles allowed an objective discrimination among different RDC/TMD subgroups and could assist conventional clinical assessments.

The use of surface electromyography as a tool in differentiating temporomandibular disorders from neck disorders.
TL;DR: Monitoring of the masticatory muscles of patients with either "temporomandibular joint disorder" or "neck pain" found that patients with the latter had significantly more asymmetric muscle potentials than the control subjects.

Anterior guidance: its effect on electromyographic activity of the temporal and masseter muscles.
TL;DR: The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of two occlusal schemes on the temporal and masseter muscles and the length of the roots of the canines and the anatomical structure of the supporting alveolar process gives testimony to nature’s intention as to the function intended.

Splint Therapy for the Myofascial Pain-Dysfunction (MPD) Syndrome: a Comparative Study
TL;DR: Three types of splints were designed to relieve symptoms of patients with myofascial pain-dysfunction syndrome and patients showed remission or noticeable improvement in their symptoms with the use of a nonoccluding appliance.

TL;DR: The splint was most likely to reduce nocturnal EMG levels in patients with least severe symptoms, and returned to pretreatment EMG Levels after removal of the splint in 92% of the patients.

Influence of group function and canine guidance on electromyographic activity of elevator muscles
TL;DR: The results showed an EMG activity reduction of the elevator muscles with group function relative to their activity in centric occlusion, and suggest the use of canine guidance in laterotrusion for therapy with full-coverage occlusal splints.
