Maxillofacial morphology and masseter muscle thickness in adults.
The aim of this study was to investigate how the thickness of the masseter muscle relates to the maxillofacial morphology, including the thickness of alveolar process in the mandibular incisor region, and the thickness of the mandibular symphysis. The subjects consisted of 80 adult male volunteers (mean age: 23 years 8 months). The relationship between masseter muscle thickness and the maxillof...
متن کاملMasseter muscle thickness and maxillary dental arch width.
The purpose of the present investigation was to study the relationship between the ultrasonographic thickness of the masseter muscle and the width of the maxillary dental arch. The sample comprised 60 consecutive orthodontic patients (37 females, 23 males), 7-18 years of age with a Class I relationship and minor malocclusion. The thickness of the masseter muscle was measured ultrasonographicall...
متن کاملRelationship of aging, skeletal muscle mass, and tooth loss with masseter muscle thickness
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 strength. The purpose of this study was to determine which of the two variables-tooth loss or appendicular skeletal muscle mass index-is more st...
متن کاملMasseter muscle thickness and mechanical advantage in relation to vertical craniofacial morphology in children.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between vertical craniofacial morphology and masseter muscle thickness and mechanical advantage in children. MATERIAL AND METHODS The sample comprised 72 children (36 F, 36 M), 8.5-9.5 years of age, with various malocclusions and no previous orthodontic treatment. The thickness of the masseter was measured bilaterally by means of ultrasonography, and ...
متن کاملMasseter muscle thickness in growing individuals and its relation to facial morphology.
It is widely accepted that an interaction exists between masticatory muscle function and craniofacial growth. In adults, correlations have been found between facial dimensions and jaw-muscle cross-sectional area, and between facial dimensions and masseter muscle thickness. Little is known about growth of the human masticatory muscles and its relation with facial dimensions at different ages. In...
