Abstract
The purpose of this study was to deepen the knowledge about muscle fatigue of mastication and facial muscles through analysis of scientific literature. The search strategy was based on the statements of the Cochrane Library. Articles were selected through the PubMed database, using the descriptor "muscle fatigue" in conjunction with the following descriptors: "speech therapy", "facial muscles", "jaw muscles", "mastication", "chewing", "lip" and "clenching". Articles from the last ten years were included, regardless of the language. The texts were analyzed, at first, in its abstract and those that did not fit the study's objective were excluded. Then, the full texts were analyzed, being considered: aim, study design, control and study groups, criteria and methodological rigor, applied protocols, results and discussion about the presence of fatigue in the targeted muscles. In a last stage, studies that were not in accordance with the purpose of the study, were excluded. Thus, out of 138 articles found, 54 were excluded due to the repetition by crossing key- words and 84 were analyzed. In the abstract analysis, 46 were excluded and 38 were fully analyzed. 24 articles were maintained and 14 were excluded because they do not fit the study's criteria. Despite there are some studies regarding the analysis of fatigue, their methodology is very varied, making difficult the comparison and detailing. While some studies have found, for example, greater fatigue of the masseter and orbicularis oris muscles, others have not found the same results, which may have influenced the target population for each study.

Resumo
O objetivo deste estudo foi aprofundar os conhecimentos acerca da fadiga muscular dos músculos faciais e mastigatórios por meio da análise da literatura científica. A estratégia de pesquisa baseou-se nas indicações da Biblioteca Cochrane. Os artigos foram selecionados por meio da base de dados PubMed, utilizando-se o descritor "muscle fatigue" em conjunto com os seguintes descritores: "speech therapy", "facial muscles", "jaw muscles", "mastication", "chewing", "lip" e "clenching". Foram incluídos artigos dos últimos dez anos, independente de idioma. Os textos foram analisados inicialmente em seu abstract, sendo excluídos os que não se adequavam ao objetivo. Em seguida foram analisados os textos integralmente e considerou-se: objetivo, delineamento do estudo, formação dos grupos, critérios e rigor metodológico, protocolos aplicados, resultados encontrados e a existência de discussão sobre a fadiga nos músculos objetivados. Nesta última etapa, aqueles que não estavam de acordo com o propósito deste estudo também foram excluídos. Assim, foram encontrados 138 artigos, dos quais 54 foram excluídos devido à repetição mediante cruzamento dos termos e 84 foram analisados. Destes, 46 foram excluídos na etapa do abstract e 38 analisados na íntegra. Destes 38, 24 foram mantidos e 14 excluídos por não se adequarem aos critérios do estudo. Embora existam alguns trabalhos referentes à análise da fadiga, a metodologia dos mesmos é muito variada, dificultando a sua comparação e detalhamento. Enquanto alguns estudos observaram, por exemplo, maior fadiga dos músculos masseteres e orbiculares da boca, outros não encontraram os mesmos resultados, o que pode ter sofrido influência da população alvo de cada estudo.
