Abstract

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the differences in the thickness and internal structure of the masseter muscle in individuals with and without bruxism by ultrasonography.

Materials and methods: A total of 60 female patients with and without bruxism whose ages were ranging between 20 and 35 were included in the study. The masseter muscle thickness was measured during rest and maximum bite position. Ultrasonographic internal structure of the masseter muscle is classified according to the visibility of echogenic bands. In addition, the echogenic internal structure of the masseter muscle was evaluated with quantitative muscle ultrasound.

Results: The masseter muscle thickness was significantly higher in both positions in patients with bruxism (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference between two groups in the evaluation of echogenicity (p > 0.05).

Conclusions: Ultrasonography is a useful and important diagnostic method for evaluating masseter muscle without using radiation.

超声对女性磨牙症患者咬肌厚度和内部结构的评价。

目的：本研究的目的是通过超声评估磨牙患者和非磨牙患者咬肌厚度和内部结构的差异。材料和方法：共有60名患有和不患有磨牙症的女性患者，年龄在20至35岁之间。在休息和最大咬合位置测量咬肌厚度。咬肌的超声内部结构根据回声带的可见性进行分类。此外，用定量肌肉超声评估咬肌的回声内部结构。结果：磨牙症患者的咬肌厚度在两个位置均显著增高（p 结论：超声检查是一种不用放疗评估咬肌的有效而重要的诊断方法。

期刊介绍： As the official English-language journal of the Japanese Society for Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology and the Asian Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Oral Radiology is intended to be a forum for international collaboration in head and neck diagnostic imaging and all related fields. Oral Radiology features cutting-edge research papers, review articles, case reports, and technical notes from both the clinical and experimental fields. As membership in the Society is not a prerequisite, contributions are welcome from researchers and clinicians worldwide.
