Electromyography technique (EMG) is widely used for this purpose but failed to give convincing results. The aim of this work was to describe our quantitative objectivation of the motor control of the masticatory muscles and to verify the hypothesis to consider the bilateral Root Motor Evoked Potentials as an electrophysiological normalization factor. | [[File:Potenziale Evocato della Radice Trigeminale.jpg|left|'''Figure 3:''' The figure shows the signal saturation of the root with respect to latency and amplitude.|alt=|200px]]In order to achieve a complete clinical evaluation of mastication, an in-depth neurophysiopathological assessment of masticatory muscles control is needed.
