Does the habitual mastication side impact jaw muscle activity?

Highlights • We study masticatory muscle in non symptomatic individuals. • Studies on preference side chewing can lead to knowledge on unilateral muscle function. • Preference side is not relevant for healthy subjects. • Working side is important in increasing electrical activity in masseter (more t...

Summary:Highlights • We study masticatory muscle in non symptomatic individuals. • Studies on preference side chewing can lead to knowledge on unilateral muscle function. • Preference side is not relevant for healthy subjects. • Working side is important in increasing electrical activity in masseter (more than in Temporal Muscle)
