Immediate effects of temporary bite-raising with light-cured orthodontic band cement on the electromyographic response of masticatory muscles

Conclusion: The results point to an altered neuromuscular behavior during clenching and chewing immediately after temporary bite-raising with light-cured orthodontic band cement. This information is relevant for orthodontists to inform their patients what will happen to their masticatory muscle activity when this bite-raising method is used.
