title: [Functional aspects of lower jaw dynamics--EMG study].
abstract: The paper presents a study of muscular forces using EMG records for temporal and masseter muscles on different occlusion situations. Each muscle activity was investigated related to different occlusion situation in order to be able to determine correlations with possible diagnostic and treatment of dental system malfunctions. The results regarding the practical determination of symmetrical indexes and muscle activity indexes were compared with specific references.
