EMG activity for each bite type and intensity condition (means and SDs). Two-way repeated ANOVA showed significant differences between EMG activity in the three bite force conditions (soft, medium, hard) for all four muscles (significant at P < 0.05). A post hoc analysis using a paired t-test accompanied by a Bonferroni-Holm correction revealed significant differences between the soft and medium conditions, between the soft and hard conditions, and between the medium and hard conditions in all four muscles (significant at adjusted P < 0.05). ANOVA also revealed significant differences in EMG activity between incisal and molar biting in the right masseter muscle, left temporal muscle, and right temporal muscle (significant at P < 0.05).
