Using T-Scan™ and BioEMG during ICAGD Enameloplasty

The purpose of this study was to see if a reduction in muscle activity occurs when the disclusion time is shortened by using the Immediate Complete Anterior Guidance Development enameloplasty.  During pretreatment using the T-Scan™ III, forty-five participants had their right and left lateral disclusion time recorded simultaneously with the BioEMG III, which recorded the activity of the bilateral masseter and anterior temporalis muscles.  After undergoing ICAGD enameloplasty treatment the participants were scanned again with the T-Scan and BioEMG.  This study found that when ICAGD is properly performed there is a highly significant reduction in muscle activity after shortening the participants disclusion time.
