RESUMO

The electromyographic activity of the muscles masseter and temporal (anterior part) was evaluated in a sample of 37 asymptomatic subjects with Class II malocclusion. They were divided in two groups - experimental and control. The experimental group consisted of 23 subjects, 14 males and 9 females, mean age 23y 7m. This group was neuromuscularly deprogrammed with the use of occlusal splints during a mean period of 6 months and 3 days. The control group was formed by 14 individuals, 3 males and 11 females, mean age 25y 11m. This group did not wear occlusal splint nor suffered any occlusal intervention for a mean observation period of 8 months and 10 days. The electromyographic recordings were accomplished by means of surface bipolar electrodes. The recordings were taken at two different moments - T1 and T2, at mandibular rest position and maximal occlusal clenching. The obtained values were measured by the calculating "Root Mean Square" (RMS) and they were expressed in microvolts (цV). The asymmetry and activity indexes were calculated in percentage (%). The data was statistically evaluated by ANOVA and Bonferroni`s tests, considering the level of significance of 5%. The results showed that in the group that wore the occlusal splint occurred a significant reduction of the eletromyographics activities at rest position, as well as a significant increase of the electromyographics activities at maximal occlusal clenching. The control group did not show any significant change in the observated period. The asymmetry indexes showed at mandibular rest, that the left side muscles were more actives. The activity indexes also showed that the temporal muscle presents a relative greater contribution for the maintenance of the rest mandibular position. The indexes - asymmetry and activity - did not present significant changes between the moments for both groups.
