DOI: 10.1097/prs.0000000000010746
Abstract: A particularly prominent mandibular angle or a hypertrophied masseter muscle can result in an excessively wide facial appearance which is often less aesthetically pleasing, especially for women. Though normally a benign condition and strictly an… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/scs.0000000000003998
Abstract: Background: Free fibula flap is an option for primary restoration after disarticulation mandibular resection, though literature on technique refinements is scarce. The authors hypothesized that inset of the masseter, the key mandibular elevator muscle, at… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jocd.12721
Abstract: Masseteric hypertrophy is a benign condition characterized by the enlargement of the masseter muscles. A square‐shaped jawline due to masseter muscle prominence or hypertrophy is one of the general characteristics of the Asian face, making… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/joor.13495
Abstract: BACKGROUND Clinical use of botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) in masticatory muscles is usually bilateral, but most studies on the functional consequences of BoNT treatment have used unilaterally treated animals. OBJECTIVES To test the hypothesis that bilateral… read more here.

DOI: 10.1136/bjsports-2018-099763.17
Abstract: Background For the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dry needling (DN) treatment is very useful, because of the reduced space of facial structures, that difficulty allow manual therapies. However, while it’s confirmed to be effective in relieving… read more here.
