Masseter is a type of muscle which involves in the process of chewing. Any disorder in the masseter muscle creates dysfunction of the entire mastication process and leads to neuromuscular problems. Electromyograms (EMGs) act as a diagnostic tool in detecting any abnormalities present in the nervous...
