Abstract
Electromyography of the muscles of the "buccinator mechanism" was undertaken, utilizing indwelling fine-wire electrodes. Electromyograms were made of 14 subjects with normal occlusion during various oral activities. Several activities elicited simultaneous contraction of all muscles. Simultaneous activity represents a potential restraining force of this muscular band on the dentition.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
