Abstract:
A review of the literature on electrodiagnostic devices indicates that current studies have not substantiated claims regarding the utility of these devices in clinical dentistry. Research design problems, such as inadequate control subjects and use of inappropriate statistical tests, limit the conclusions that can be drawn from the results of these studies. Further research, including measurements of sensitivity and specificity, is needed in order to indicate the diagnostic utility of jaw tracking or electromyography in clinical dentistry.
