Electromyographic analysis of anterior temporalis and superficial masseter muscles in mandibular angle fractures—a pilot study
Tóm tắt
Fracture of the mandible occurs more frequently and the surgical anatomy of the mandible and adjacent structures is extremely important in understanding the pattern of fracture, the displacement of fractured fragments, and factors necessary for uncomplicated healing. In the field of dentistry, surface electromyography, electrokinesiography, and more recently, TMJ sound analysis have been particularly important developments. Previous electromyographic studies involving anterior temporalis and superficial masseter have been conducted in mandibular condylar fractures and in orthognathic and cosmetic procedures of the jaws. This experimental study was undertaken to measure the electrical activity of the anterior temporalis and superficial masseter muscles in mandibular angle fracture cases (n = 6) and the changes in the electrical activity over a period of 6 months. The study shows that muscle activity increases significantly over a period of time but never matches the muscle activity of the normal subjects of same sex and age in a follow-up of 6 months post-trauma. Electrodiagnostic testing is a potentially valuable tool for the management of patients who have suffered craniomaxillofacial trauma. Electromyography is being employed in clinical practice, and allows the inclusion of quantitative data on the qualitative aspects of a diagnosis. These data are often of significant importance in the correct management of therapy and patient follow-up, particularly if the subject is at risk of developing a different and/or more serious disease.
