METHOD FOR USING SOFT MASTICATORY TEST IN MASTICATORY ELECTROMYOGRAPHY IN PATIENTS WITH MOBILE TEETH Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A61C19/04 A61B5/488 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, namely to dentistry, and aims at assessing the functional state of the masticatory muscles in the patients with mobile teeth accompanying a periodontal pathology, and at orthodontic treatment of malocclusion. Silver-chloride unipolar electrodes with a conductive gel are applied on motor points of the proper masticatory and temporal muscles are fixed to the facial skin with an adhesive plaster. The patient is presented with the functional test that is chewing 10 peeled pine nuts at random. The EMG is being recorded until the chewing process is completed.

EFFECT: through using 10 pine nut kernels as a test material, the method enables obtaining the objective assessment of the masticatory apparatus in the patients with mobile teeth accompanying a periodontal pathology, and in orthodontic treatment.
