EMG is a sophisticated technique used to detect and analyze muscle activity. EMG was primarily utilized in medical sciences in the past, but it is now widely utilized in both the medical and dental fields. &nbsp;</span></span></span></span></span></span><br> <span style="font-size:13pt"><span style="line-height:115%"><span new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times=""><b><span style="font-size:9.0pt"><span style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-family:" verdana=""><span style="color:#2e74b5">Materials and Methods:</span></span></span></span></b><span style="font-size:9.0pt"><span style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-family:" verdana=""> Electronic search was conducted in EMBASE, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar to find all clinical studies regarding applications of EMG in dentistry.</span></span></span></span></span></span><br> <span style="font-size:13pt"><span style="line-height:115%"><span new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times=""><b><span style="font-size:9.0pt"><span style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-family:" verdana=""><span style="color:#2e74b5">Results: </span></span></span></span></b><span style="font-size:9.0pt"><span style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-family:" verdana="">This review included 31 papers in all. According to the results, neuromuscular activity may be recorded using EMG for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. It could be used in dentistry to evaluate parafunctional habits such as clenching and bruxism as well as muscle activation during actions like chewing and biting. In recent years, the use of EMG in treatment of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and myofascial pain disorders has significantly increased.</span></span></span></span></span></span><br> <span style="font-size:13pt"><span style="line-height:115%"><span new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times=""><b><span style="font-size:9.0pt"><span style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-family:" verdana=""><span style="color:#2e74b5">Conclusion:</span></span></span></span></b> <span style="font-size:9.0pt"><span style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-family:" verdana="">EMG has a variety of applications in dentistry for monitoring, diagnostic, and therapeutic purposes. </span></span></span></span></span></span></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"></div> Dentistry, Facial Muscles, Masticatory Muscles, Electromyography 71 78 http://jrdms.dentaliau.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-981-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Santosh R Patil drpsantosh@gmail.com 100319475328460011399 000000030715497X Yes Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology, New Horizon Dental Col-lege and Research Institute, Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh, India Bharati R Doni 100319475328460011400 100319475328460011400 No Department of Dentistry, Koppal Insti-tute of Medical Sciences, Koppal, Kar-nataka, India Chaitra Patil 100319475328460011401 100319475328460011401 No Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Krishnadevaraya College of Dental Sciences and Hospital, Bangalore, India Shaikh Nawab 100319475328460011402 100319475328460011402 No Department of Orthodontics and Den-tofacial Orthopedics, SVS Institute of Dental Sciences, Mahbubnagar, India Mohammad Khursheed Alam 100319475328460011403 100319475328460011403 No Department of Orthodontics, College of Dentistry, Jouf University, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
