Immediate effects of temporary bite-raising with light-cured orthodontic band cement on the electromyographic response of masticatory muscles

Abstract: Objective:To assess the immediate effects of temporary bite-raising using light-cured orthodontic band cement on the superficial masseter and anterior temporalis electromyography (EMG) activity in healthy adults.Materials and Methods:Surface EMG signals were recorded bilaterally from the superficial masseter and anterior temporalis muscles of 30 volunteers with a normal occlusion, before and after having temporary bite-raising. The bite-raising was done by adding light-cured orthodontic band cement (3x5x2 mm W… Show more

“…18 Our findings could be attributed to the unique characteristics of removable appliances which apply intermittent forces and often have a bite-opening effect, which has been found to decrease muscle activity. 44 However, further research is required to fully investigate this phenomenon, as the effects are anticipated to subside after orthodontic treatment completion.…”

“…The inclusion and exclusion criteria were previously described. 6 Briefly, all participants had a Class I occlusion, a positive overjet and an overbite of ,3 mm, skeletal normal bite, full permanent dentition without third molars, no edentulous areas, no significant facial deformity, no signs or symptoms of temporomandibular disorders, and no orthodontic treatment in the past 3 years.…”

“…At the second visit, bite-raising using light-cured orthodontic band cement was performed on the palatal cusps of the upper first molars, as described in a previous study. 6 Briefly, after polishing, rinsing, drying, and isolating the occlusal surfaces of the respective molars, Ultra Band-Lok BLUE (Reliance Orthodontic Products Inc, Itasca, Ill) was applied in a thermoplastic sheet template (3 3 5 3 2-mm width 3 length 3 height trapezoid slot) and placed on the isolated occlusal surfaces. A light-curing unit, providing a minimum of 600 mW of continuous output, was used to cure the material by positioning the tip adjacent to the occlusal surface of the molars for 30 seconds.…”

“…With the loss of each tooth, the inter-occlusal distance decreases unevenly, which is further influenced by several factors, including age, the presence and location of the remaining teeth, and the presence of removable orthopedic structures in the patient's oral cavity [5]. Masticatory dysfunction occurs in all types of pathology of the masticatory system simultaneously with changes in structure [6]. The aesthetic aspect and the electrical excitability of the pulp are however violated, which ultimately creates downstream problems, including an increased risk of developing complications [7,8].…”
