    Electromiografía en odontología
    (Universidad de Cuenca, 2015) Bravo Torres, Wilson Daniel; Torres Robles, Allysson Abigail
    The electromyography has been applied to dentistry since the 40’s as a diagnostic method of muscle disorders caused by cra- nial-cervical-faciaí disorders, temporo-mand¡bular disorders, and sleep disorders, among others. This tool provides us in-formation on the muscle electric potential (specially the masseter and temporal mus-cles) during jaw movements. The muscle hyperactivity predisposes the develop of temporomandibular disorders, pain and fatigue; causing discomfort ¡n patients, de creasing the ability of jaw movements and generating greater alteration in the stomatognathic system; for these reasons the dentist must make a correct clinical assess-ment of patients to determine if there are any symptoms for some muscular or neurological damage by electromyographic examination. This literatura review discusses the clinical and diagnostic uses of electromyography in dentistry, in especial by the rehabilitators who performed it for the neurophysiological evaluation of the chewing muscles both physiologically and pathologically.

    Lesiones Cervicales No Cariosas: Revisión sistemática de la literatura
    (2019-06-07) Torres Robles, Allysson Abigail; Abad Coronel, Cristian Gustavo
    Non - carious cervical lesions (LCNC) are very frequent in clinical practice, referring to the loss of hard tissue located in the amelo - cemental limit; Its etiology is multifactorial, intervening factors such as: alteration in dental occlusion, chemical agents, mechanical forces not appropriate, among others. It is presented in varied morphology, with sensitivity or without it, the dental pulp reaching a compromise. Hunter classifies the LCNC in: abrasion, erosion, attrition and abfraction, as a cause of confusion to date because of its origin and location. The scientific evidence gives us different contributions of these injuries that are known in the development of this research. Methodology: a review of the available literature was carried out using the PubMed and Cochrane database in our studies in English and Spanish reported from 2014 to 2019; POOL (Preferred report elements of systematic reviews and meta-analyzes) ensuring the quality of the information. Conclusion: LCNC present varied etiology, requires the interaction of several factors for its development. It was observed more frequently in adult patients (80%) whose prevalence increases with age. According to the morphology, the LCNC presents a wedge and saucer shape on the vestibular surfaces of the maxillary teeth. Taking into account all these points, the professional dentist must have knowledge of each of these injuries to make a correct diagnosis and apply the appropriate treatment to each of them.
