Association between myotonometric measurement of masseter muscle stiffness and　maximum bite force in healthy elders.

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, 2020
BACKGROUND Maximum bite force (MBF) is a common and useful index of masticatory function; it correlates with physical strength in elderly people. Palpation of stiffness in the masseter muscle during forceful biting has been considered to be associated ...

Effects of chewing exercises on the occlusal force and masseter muscle thickness in community-dwelling Koreans aged 65 years and older: A randomized assessor-blind trial.

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, 2020
BACKGROUND Chewing exercises have been applied in clinical settings to improve the occlusal force and function of the masseter muscle in elderly individuals. However, the clinical relevance and effects of chewing exercises are unclear.

The Masseter Muscle and Its Role in Facial Contouring, Aging, and Quality of Life: A Literature Review

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2019
Background: Masseter muscle hypertrophy manifests itself as enlargement of the masseter muscle. It can be associated with a square-angled lower face, pain, dental attrition, maxillary and mandibular bone resorption, and accelerated aging process of the ...

Literature review of the adverse events associated with botulinum toxin injection for the masseter muscle hypertrophy

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2018
Masseteric hypertrophy is a benign condition characterized by the enlargement of the masseter muscles. A square‐shaped jawline due to masseter muscle prominence or hypertrophy is one of the general characteristics of the Asian face, making it a frequent ...

Ultrasonography of the internal architecture of the superficial part of the masseter muscle in vivo

Clinical anatomy (New York, N.Y. Print), 2019
It is unclear whether the deep inferior tendon (DIT) is equally present in vivo, and little anatomical information is available regarding the existence and morphology of the DIT in healthy young subjects. The aim of this study was to characterize the DIT

Masseter muscle atrophy impairs bone quality of the mandibular condyle but not the alveolar process early after induction.

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, 2018
BACKGROUND Masseter muscle function influences mandibular bone homeostasis. As previously reported, bone resorption markers increased in the mouse mandibular condyle two days after masseter paralysis induced with botulinum toxin type A (BoNTA), followed ...

Radiation dose to the masseter and medial pterygoid muscle in relation to trismus after chemoradiotherapy for advanced head and neck cancer

Head and Neck, 2019
We studied the relationship between trismus (maximum interincisor opening [MIO] ≤35 mm) and the dose to the ipsilateral masseter muscle (iMM) and ipsilateral medial pterygoid muscle (iMPM).

Three-dimensional CT might be a potential evaluation modality in correction of asymmetrical masseter muscle hypertrophy by botulinum toxin injection

Journal of Cosmetic & Laser Therapy, 2016
For correction of this asymmetrical hypertrophy, botulinum toxin type A (BTxA) injection is one of convenient treatment modalities. Unfortunately, physical examination of masseter muscle is not enough to estimate the exact volume of muscle hypertrophy ...

Prolonging the Duration of Masseter Muscle Reduction by Adjusting the Masticatory Movements After the Treatment of Masseter Muscle Hypertrophy With Botulinum Toxin Type A Injection

Dermatologic Surgery, 2015
BACKGROUND Botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) is widely used for the clinical treatment of masseteric hypertrophy. Until now, few reports have discussed how to prolong the duration of its effectiveness. OBJECTIVE This study evaluated that purposely adjusting
