Electromyography is the recording and analysis of the electrical potentials of the muscle. Man has always been curious to know about his body and the surroundings. This led the mankind through many path breaking inventions that made human life easy. Much research has been done and documented in the field of bioelectricity which led to the present day electrodiagnostic procedures. .EMG as a diagnostic tool is a boon to the field of medicine. It plays a major and important role in different aspects of clinical medicine and dentistry. Hence an attempt has been made here to review the literature to acquaint the reader with history and invention of EMG and subsequent developments in that field. The literature on EMG in clinical medicine (part 1) and dentistry in general and orthodontics in particular (part 2) has been reviewed analytically.
