Correction of Malocclusion by Botulinum Neurotoxin Injection into Masticatory Muscles
Botulinum toxin (BTX) is a neurotoxin, and its injection in masticatory muscles induces muscle weakness and paralysis. This paralytic effect of BTX induces growth retardation of the maxillofacial bones, changes in dental eruption and occlusion state, and

Initial fatigue of masseter muscles during the maximal voluntary teeth contraction [PDF]
Fatigue of striated muscles is defined as the impossibility to generate the expected or required force during the repeated contraction. During the maximal voluntary teeth contraction in the position of central occlusion the initial fatigue in masticatory

Dentofacial Malocclusion in Neurofibromatosis 1 in Finland
ABSTRACT Neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) is an inherited disease that can be accompanied by oral health problems such as caries, periodontitis, and tumors affecting the oral cavity. Also, different maxillary and mandibular malformations are associated with NF1.

Preservation of masseter muscle until the end stage in the SOD1G93A mouse model for ALS
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) progressively impairs motor neurons, leading to muscle weakness and loss of voluntary muscle control. This study compared the effects of SOD1 mutation on masticatory and limb muscles from disease onset to death in ALS ...
