The mandibular rest position and electromyography--a review.
The objective of clinical methods for the establishment of the rest position of the mandible is to establish a position at which masticatory muscle activity is minimal. Several methods are in clinical use but these methods may not elicit a position which is coincident with the lowest level of muscle activity as determined electromyographically.
