Abstract

Studies describe the role of the buccinators muscle as controlling the bolus during mastication. Little is known, however, about its behavior in subjects with different dental and skeletal standards, which would contribute to the development of orthodontic and orthognathic treatments. Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the electromyographic activity of the buccinator muscle, in subjects Class III Angle, during mastication. Material and method: The sample was composed by 32 healthy subjects, without Temporomandibular Disfunction, during mastication, being 16 Class I and 16 Class III. In order to guarantee the reliability of the caption of the signal, differential electrode were used, as well as function tests, correlation and normalization of data. As the data revealed a non-normal distribution (Shapiro-Wilk test), the median test was carried out, establishing then the level of significance in 5%. Result: In the comparison of the normalized data of the variable Root Means Square (RMS) (µV), from the active period, no significant differences were found (Classe I: 0,469 ± 0,355; Classe III: 0,531 ± 0,355 – p: 0,4812). Nonetheless, in comparison to the variables RMS (µV) from the inactive period (Classe I: 0,359 ± 0,355; Classe III: 0,641 ± 0,355 – p; 0,0016), duration of the active period (ON) (Classe I: 0,313 ± 0,180; Classe III: 0,687 ± 0,180 – p: 0,0368) and the result between the RMS of the inactive period and the RMS of the active period (RIA) Classe I: 0,391 ± 0,355; Classe III: 0,609 ± 0.355 – p: 0,0137) significant differences were found. Conclusion: Based in the results of the data analysis, we could to comprove the existence of exacerbated activity of the buccinator muscle in Angle’s Class III subjects.

Resumo

Estudos descrevem a função do músculo bucinador como controlador do bolo alimentar durante a mastigação. Pouco se sabe, entretanto, sobre seu comportamento em sujeitos com distintos padrões dentário e esquelético, o que contribuiria para o desenvolvimento dos tratamentos ortodônticos e ortognático. Objetivo: Este estudo tem como objetivo investigar a atividade eletromiográfica do músculo bucinador, em sujeitos Classe III de Angle, durante a mastigação. Material e método: A amostra foi constituída por 32 sujeitos saudáveis, sem Disfunção Temporomandibular durante a mastigação, sendo 16 sujeitos Classe I e 16 sujeitos Classe III. Para garantir a fidedignidade da captação do sinal, foram utilizados eletrodos diferenciais, além de testes de função, correlação e normalização dos dados. Na medida em que os dados revelaram uma distribuição não normal (teste de Shapiro-Wilk), realizou-se teste da mediana, sendo estabelecido o nível de significância em 5%. Resultado: Na comparação dos dados normalizados da variável Root Means Square (RMS) (µV), do período ativo, não foram encontradas diferenças significativas (Classe I: 0,469 ± 0,355; Classe III: 0,531 ± 0,355 – p: 0,4812). Entretanto, em relação às variáveis RMS (µV) do período inativo (Classe I: 0,359 ± 0,355; Classe III: 0,641 ± 0,355 – p: 0,0016), duração do período ativo (ON) (Classe I: 0,313 ± 0,180; Classe III: 0,687 ± 0,180 – p: 0,0368) e razão entre o RMS do período inativo e RMS do período ativo (RIA) (Classe I: 0,391 ± 0,355; Classe III: 0,609 ± 0.355 – p: 0,0137), foram observadas diferenças significativas. Conclusão: A partir dos dados obtidos, pôde-se constatar uma atividade exacerbada do músculo bucinador nos sujeitos Classe III de Angle.
