“…Incluso hallaron que el pterigoideo externo presentaba un aumento en suggest the angle exosthosis resection (when it is appears) with partial masseter myotomy without considering the chosen access. [5][6][7][8][9][10] Results are satisfactory and without recurrences, as showed in our case six years after surgery.…”

“…We advocate, like Nishida et Iizuka [7], a full resection of the mandibular angle: resection of the almost entire length of bone of the outer compact layer creates a smooth contour; maintaining the internal compact layer without affecting the esthetic aspect keeps soft tissues in a stable position, preventing any sagging. This is especially important in elderly patients.…”

“…The intra-oral approach was introduced by Converse [3] in 1951 with the advantage of avoiding a face scar and minimizing the risk of injury to the marginal branch of the facial nerve. The optimization of morphological result, considering that patient complaints are mainly esthetic, has led most authors to recommend resecting any part of the masseter [1,[3][4][5][6][7]. Bone hypertrophy is usually due to the hypertrophy of an attached muscle [4].…”

“…With development of surgical saws, specific retractors (e.g. Bauer and Merrill-Lavasseur retractors), and the publication of new surgical techniques, the intraoral approach has become routine [11][12][13][14]. Intraoral removal of the mandibular angle without removing any parts of the masseter muscle has then become one of the most commonsurgical technique to treat the masseteric hypertrophy.…”

“…The disadvantages of this surgical technique are the same presented by most oral surgical procedures performed under general anesthesia (i.e. postoperative haemorrhage, haematoma, edema, infection, anesthesia complications) [11,14].…”
