Electromyography is a valuable means of analyzing the muscular components of the oral apparatus. Numerous electromyographic studies have been made of the muscles of mastication;'-' yet, the buccinator muscle, recognized as an integral part of the oral structure and considered by some'2-14 to aid mastication, has received little attention. Palpation, observation of muscle attachments, and paralysis studies have previously shown the buccinator muscles to be active during the following performances: (1) compressing the cheek, thereby aiding mastication'2-'4 and blowing;'2"3 (2) drawing corner of mouth laterally; 12,13 (3) pulling lips against teeth;'2 and (4) aiding in swallowing.'3 The few electromyographic studies made of this muscle have been related to isolated phenomena, such as aid to denture retention and stabilization,15 role in thumb-sucking and finger-sucking patients,'6 and response to loss of teeth and denture treatment.'7 The present study was designed to determine the role of the buccinator muscle in such activities as chewing, swallowing, blowing, and sucking in the normal subject.
