Measurement of masseter and temporalis muscle thickness using ultrasonographic technique

Abstract

Ultrasonography was found to be a highly reliable and accurate method for imaging and measuring masticatory muscle thickness. No age and sex related variations were observed in this study on comparisons between the two groups. Similarly no changes were seen in the muscle thickness and different facial morphologies. Since no earlier studies on this type of investigation was done, it will be too premature to give a final verdict on the correlation between the masticatory muscle thickness and facial morphology for all the recorded cases. A long term follow up will provide a wealth of information for future clinical purposes. No age and sex related variations were observed in this study on comparisons between the two groups. Similarly no changes were seen in the muscle thickness and different facial morphologies.
