PATRICIA L. BLANTON 1, NORMAN L. BIGGS 1, and RONALD C. PERKINS 1

1 Department of Gross Anatomy, Baylor University College of Dentistry, Dallas, Texas 75226

An electromyographic analysis of the buccinator muscle was undertaken, by use of indwelling, fine-wire electrodes. Electromyograms were made from 22 subjects with normal dentition during various oral activities. The buccinator muscle was found to be markedly and consistently active during swallowing, blowing, sucking, masticating, and various lip and mandibular movements.
