Background: Surface electromyography (EMG) has been found to be an effective tool to evaluate Masticatory muscle activity in order to diagnose dysfunction of masticatory apparatus.
Aim: The current study aims to indicate the practical difference between temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder and muscles of the jaw on symptomatic and asymptomatic subjects by comprehensive electromyography analysis.
Method: To evaluate the significance of EMG parameters, jaw-muscles EMGs were recorded in 10 normal (Group N) subjects and 10 TMD symptomatic (group S).
Result: In TMD symptomatic (Group S), at rest position (RP) the integrated (IEMG) was larger within anterior temporalis (Ta) whereas maximal voluntary clenching (MVC) was smaller and the masseter (Ma) and temporalis (Ta) was protruded (P).
Interpretation and Conclusion The functional efficiency is weak and may have hypertonic activities of the jaw elevators in TMD. Following a muscle twitch, the jaw muscles in TMD become less relaxed and get easily fatigued during functional effort. TMD symptoms result in alteration of functional adaptation of jaw muscle activities and occlusion.

Schwannomas are benign tumororiginating from peripheral Schwann cells of the neural sheaths. These tumors present as solitary and encapsulated lesions. Intra oralschawannoma is not commonly seen in the palate and extremely rare at junction between soft and hard palate. These benign lesions are slowly expanding tumors with less risk for malignant transformation and need complete excision of the mass. As it has rare and non-specific presentations, the diagnosis is usually established by histopathological examination and immunohistochemical evaluation. Here we report a case of a large schawannoma at the area where hard and soft palate unite, which is an extremely rare location of this tumor.Keywords
