Abstract EN
Aim.
The aim of this study was to assess the electrical activity of temporalis and masseter muscles in children with cleft lip and palate (CLP) and pain-related temporomandibular disorders (TMD-P).
Methods.
The sample consisted of 31 CLP patients with a TMD-P (mean age 9.5 ± 1.8 years) and 32 CLP subjects with no TMD (mean age 9.2 ± 1.7 years).
The children were assessed for the presence of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) using Axis I of the Research Diagnostic Criteria for TMD (RDC/TMD).
Electromyographical (EMG) recordings were performed using a DAB-Bluetooth Instrument (Zebris Medical GmbH, Germany) in the mandibular rest position and during maximum voluntary contraction (MVC).
Results.
The rest activity of the temporalis and masseter muscles was significantly higher in TMD-P group compared with non-TMD children.
A significant decrease in temporalis muscle activity during MVC was observed in TMD-P patients.
There was a significant increase in the Asymmetry Index for temporalis and masseter muscle rest activity in the TMD-P group.
Conclusion.
Cleft children diagnosed with TMD-P have altered masticatory muscle activity, and this can affect their muscle function.
