The effect of a Lucia jig for 30 minutes on neuromuscular re-programming, in normal subjects

Abstract: Abstract:The Lucia jig is a technique that promotes neuromuscular reprogramming of the masticatory system and allows the stabilization of the mandible without the interference of dental contacts, maintaining the mandible position in harmonic condition with the musculature in normal subjects or in patients with temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD).This study aimed to electromyographically analyze the activity (RMS) of the masseter and temporal muscles in normal subjects (control group) during the use of an anter… Show more

“…Além disso, foi confeccionado um dispositivo anterior denominado Jig de Lucia, para registrar a altura maxilomandibular. Esse dispositivo que promove a reprogramação neuromuscular do sistema mastigatório também permite a estabilização da mandíbula sem a interferência dos contatos dentários, mantendo a posição mandibular em condição harmônica com a musculatura 21 .…”

“…Many techniques are available to assist in obtaining registration in CR, and this study advocated the use of the Lucia's JIG deprogrammer. This preference was due to its ease of fabrication, low cost and scientifically proven capacity to allow muscle relaxation, facilitating mandibular manipulation (20)(21)(22).…”
