Relationship of aging, skeletal muscle mass, and tooth loss with masseter muscle thickness

BMC Geriatrics, 2018
Background Previous studies have reported a relationship between masseter muscle thickness and tooth loss or limb muscle thickness. However, it is not yet known whether masseter muscle thickness is related to appendicular skeletal muscle mass, and grip ...

Transcription factor MITF regulates masseter muscle growth and development [PDF]

Physiological Reports
The microphthalmic mouse with a mutation at the locus of the microphthalmia‐associated transcriptional factor (MITF) gene exhibits masticatory dysfunction due to impaired masseter muscle development and needs to be fed with powdered diet.

Leptin From Fibro‐Adipogenic Progenitor Cells (FAPs) Regulates Masseter Muscle Disuse Atrophy and Ectopic Fat Accumulation [PDF]

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle
Background Excessive fat accumulation in muscles with disuse atrophy may impair muscle physiologic function and exacerbate the progression of atrophy, with causes largely unexplored.

Protective Effects of Clenbuterol against Dexamethasone-Induced Masseter Muscle Atrophy and Myosin Heavy Chain Transition. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Glucocorticoid has a direct catabolic effect on skeletal muscle, leading to muscle atrophy, but no effective pharmacotherapy is available. We reported that clenbuterol (CB) induced masseter muscle hypertrophy and slow-to-fast myosin heavy chain (MHC ...

Early effect of Botox-A injection into the masseter muscle of rats: functional and histological evaluation [PDF]

Maxillofacial plastic and reconstructive surgery, 2015
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the change of food intake after different dosages of botulinum toxin A (BTX) injection in the animal model. Additionally, the dimensional and histological change at 14 days after BTX injection was also evaluated.

Electromyographic biofeedback training for reducing muscle pain and tension on masseter and temporal muscles: A pilot study [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Experimental Dentistry, 2016
Due to the absence of agreement about an effective unified treatment for temporomandibular disorders, non-invasive therapies such as EMG-biofeedback generate a greater interest.

Myositis ossificans of the masseter muscle: a rare location. Report of a case and review of literature [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Experimental Dentistry, 2016
Background: Myositis Ossificans is a rare heterotopic bone formation within a muscle being the masticatory muscles exceptionally involved. In most cases there is a previous trauma, bearing in mind that there may be many other etiologies.
