What is Electromyography and how is it used?
Dr. Massa uses electromyography to monitor the electrical activity emanating from jaw muscles. Using specialized equipment, Dr. Massa is able to measure and record the amount of tension involved when jaw muscles contract and expand. These measurements are helpful during diagnosis and treatments, giving your doctor an internal look at what is going on during chewing, speaking, and other jaw functions. Electromyography can also be used to measure how teeth fit together, and during the creation of crowns and other restorations to create your optimum bite.
