Real-time analysis of electromyograms in clinical dentistry.
A neurophysiologic real-time data acquisition and analysis system with a versatile hardware/software combination to be applied in clinical dentistry is introduced. Its application in the clinical environment allowed the analysis of jaw reflexes and the generation of a hard copy output in approximately 3 1/2 minutes. Such a system may provide the basis for advanced diagnostics in dentistry.
