Changes of masseter muscle after mandible distraction osteogenesis in patients with Hemifacial microsomia: a retrospective study [PDF]

Frontiers in Pediatrics
IntroductionMandible distraction osteogenesis (MDO) is widely used to reconstruct the mandible in patients with mild Hemifacial microsomia (HFM). However, the masseter's response to mandible distraction remains unclear.MethodsIn this study, we analyze ...

Anatomical Characteristics of the Masseter Muscle in Mandibular Prognathism

Applied Sciences, 2021
Mandibular prognathism causes functional and esthetic problems. Therefore, many studies have been conducted to understand its etiology. Following our previous study, which revealed that the major characteristic of the mandible with prognathism is the ...

Interactive Modelling of Volumetric Musculoskeletal Anatomy [PDF]

ACM Trans. Graph., Vol. 40, No. 4, Article 122. Publication date: August 2021, 2021
We present a new approach for modelling musculoskeletal anatomy. Unlike previous methods, we do not model individual muscle shapes as geometric primitives (polygonal meshes, NURBS etc.). Instead, we adopt a volumetric segmentation approach where every point in our volume is assigned to a muscle, fat, or bone tissue.

Interrelationships among whole-body skeletal muscle mass, masseter muscle mass, oral function, and dentition status in older Japanese adults

BMC Geriatrics, 2021
Background Generalized loss of skeletal muscle mass (SMM) may modulate or otherwise affect the loss of masseter muscle mass and be responsible for low masseter muscle performance and strength (i.e., low oral function).
