Abstract

Introduction: Masseter hypertrophy presents as unilateral or bilateral swellings over the ramus and angle of the mandible. It is caused by malocclusion, clenching, TMJ disorders, etc and alters facial symmetry, leading to discomfort and negative cosmetic impact in many patients, making this a popular request for aesthetic and functional correction.

Materials and methods: This case report involves injecting Botulinum toxin into 6 equidistant bulging points on the masseter. Standardized photography and clinical parameters were used to assess facial contour and masseter muscle thickness at baseline and successive follow ups.

Results and discussion: Significant masseteric bulk reduction was observed in subsequent follow ups.

Conclusion: The 6-point technique was found to be an effective treatment modality for Botox injection in masseteric hypertrophy. The clinical method to quantify prognosis was easy and economical.

6点注射技术注射肉毒杆菌毒素治疗咬肌肥大1例。一种量化预后的临床技术的建议。

简介:咬肌肥大表现为单侧或双侧下颌骨分支和角度的肿胀。它是由错牙合、紧咬合、颞下颌关节紊乱等引起的，改变了面部对称性，导致许多患者不适和负面的美容影响，使其成为审美和功能矫正的热门要求。材料和方法:本病例报告涉及在咬肌上6个等距凸起点注射肉毒杆菌毒素。在基线和后续随访中，采用标准化摄影和临床参数评估面部轮廓和咬肌厚度。结果和讨论:随后的随访观察到明显的咬肌体积缩小。结论:6点法是治疗咬肌肥大注射肉毒杆菌的有效方法。临床量化预后的方法简便、经济。
