Effects of Parkinson's disease on molar bite force, electromyographic activity and muscle thickness of the masseter, temporal and sternocleidomastoid muscles: A case‐control study

Abstract: Background Parkinson's disease is a neurological disorder that promotes motor changes in the body. Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the impairment of the stomatognathic function regarding molar bite force, electromyographic activity and thickness of the craniocervical muscles in patients with Parkinson's disease in comparison with those in asymptomatic controls. Methods Twenty‐four subjects were divided into two groups, a Parkinson's disease group (n = 12) and a control group (n = 12). The su… Show more

“…SCM thickness was less in our study than in many previously published reports 17‐20 . This may be because the age of participants included in our study group (mean ± SD of 79.2 ± 10.7 years) was higher than that of participants included in previous studies.…”

“…Leitner et al (15) reported mean TMT in lung cancer and melanoma patients of 6.1 and 6.2 mm, respectively. Donizetti et al (20) calculated that the mean thickness of anterior temporal muscles in patients with Parkinson's disease and control groups in the maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) was 8.3 and 7.2 mm, respectively. Ranganathan et al (14) reported the mean TMT in adult trauma patients of 9.0 mm.…”

“…Several studies have analyzed the electromyographic activity of masticatory muscles in different situations of urban populations such as age, sex, temporomandibular dysfunction, chronic degenerative diseases, dentition status, and oral parafunctional habits [15][16][17][18], but there is a gap in the literature that does not show the masticatory muscle behavior of specific populations with eating habits of native villagers, such as indigenous populations.…”
