- W2894824965 abstract "The present investigation was carried out to study the relationship between the ultrasonographic thickness of the masseter muscle and the facial morphology variables including the width of the maxillary dental arch. The sample comprised 25 female dental students with Class I molar relationship. The thickness of the masseter muscle was measured Ultrasonographically. Recordings were performed bilaterally with the muscles both in relaxation and under contraction and the mean values were recorded. Anthropological measurements were obtained with an anthropological caliper. Lateral cephalograms were hand traced and linear and angular dimensions calculated. Maxillary inter-molar width was measured as the distancebetween the palatal surfaces of the first permanent molars.Pearson’s correlation coefficients were obtained to show the association of facial morphology variables to masseter thickness. Positive correlations were obtained betweenmasseter muscle thickness in the relaxed state and inter-molar width, intergonial width and body weight. Bizygomatic width, intergonial width and total posterior facial height showed positive correlations with masseter thickness in the contracted state. Even though, other facial morphology variables also registered weak correlations, they were not statistically significant.The most probable reason for this could be the small sample size. Multiple regression analysis revealed positive relationship between masseter thickness and inter-molar width and negative relationship between masseter thickness and mandibular plane angle. The findings of this studyindicate that the functional capacity of the masticatory muscles may be considered as a factor influencing the facial morphology including inter-molar width.Appraising the growth pattern of the face is an important aspect of orthodontic diagnosis. The maxillary arch width influences the mandibular arch width. Maxillary expansion isfound to be more feasible in brachycephalics compared to dolicocephalics. The findings of this study reiterate the significance of oro-facial muscles in growth and there by in orthodontic practice.The following conclusions were drawn from the study.1. The dimension for masseter muscle thickness (Mean ± S.D) for females in the relaxed state was 8.6 ± 0.95 mm and contracted state was 11.2 ± 1.17 mm.2. Masseter muscle thickness was found to be related to variables of facial morphology like bizygomatic width, intergonial width, inter-molar width, total posterior facial height and body weight.3. The better understanding of the complex interaction between masseter muscle function and dento-facial growth can be obtained in the future studies with larger sample size." @default.
