Summary: A pilot study in a
sample of 7 children with deep bite and between 3 and 5 years old was carried out to evaluate the
electromyographic changes after Planas Direct Tracks (PDT) adaptation. An initial electromyographic
register of the masseter and anterior temporal right muscles was made while the children chewed gum.
A month after the PDT adaptation, a second electromyographic register was taken and comparisons were
made. Although an electromyographic activity decrease tendency was presented, the changes were not
statistically significant. Key words: Planas Direct Tracks. Deep Bite. Electromyograhy.
EMG.
