Resumo
Aim: To review the concepts and use of electromyography,
emphasizing its applicability in the study of temporomandibular
disorders (TMD). Material and methods: The literature review
was based on research in the database PubMed and Scielo
for the period 1949 to 2010 using the keywords “electromyography”
and “electromyography and temporomandibular dysfunction”
and “electromyography and temporomandibular disorders”
and selecting among articles found, those that correlate
the application of electromyography in dentistry, especially in
temporomandibular disorders. Were also selected chapters of
books containing basics concepts of electromyography, human
physiology and temporomandibular disorders, and reports concerning
the use of electromyography in different areas of health.
Results: In view of the principles discussed in this article and
after a review of important points related to the use of electromyography
in the study of TMD, it can be concluded that electromyography,
despite its severe limitations, have an important
role in the development of research in the field of dentistry, especially
in regard to TMD, it helps in the standardization necessary
for the control of the studied conditions. In a clinical view,
the EMG can be used as an auxiliary method for identification of
muscle disorders, contributing to the indication and evaluation
of therapies prescribed for TMD treatment.
