Abstract
The aim of the study was to study the bioelectric activity of the masticatory muscles in adult patients with defects in the dentition complicated by distal occlusion. The material of the study was the bioelectric activity indices of the masticatory muscles obtained by electromyography in 47 patients with defects in the dentition complicated by distal occlusion. As a result, according to electromyography, criteria for the adaptation of masticatory muscles to new conditions for the functioning of the masticatory apparatus formed as a result of treatment were identified. The revealed criteria make it possible to objectively determine the duration of the period of adaptation of the masticatory muscles at the stages of complex treatment of patients with this pathology.
