Masseter muscle measurement performed by ultrasound: a systematic review

Abstract: The aim of this study was to systematically review the existing scientific literature and evidence about (a) the validation of masseter muscle ultrasonography for accurate assessment of muscle thickness and (b) the reproducibility of masseter muscle thickness measures. An electronic literature search was conducted using determined keywords on specific databases. Preliminary search revealed 298 articles listed in Medline, Scopus and Web of Science. 60 duplicates were rejected, leaving 238 articles for review. A… Show more

“…There were no relationships between masticatory performance and echo intensity of perioral muscle (Tables 3). 8 On the other hand, all tongue and geniohyoid muscles can be captured in the echo image, and both the cross-sectional area and the thickness can be clearly evaluated ( Figure 1) 32,33 Because the previous studies involved elderly individuals, it is difficult to directly compare those results with the findings of the present study.…”

“…Many previous studies targeting masseter muscles report using thickness rather than cross-sectional area. 8 On the other hand, all tongue and geniohyoid muscles can be captured in the echo image, and both the cross-sectional area and the thickness can be clearly evaluated (Figure 1). However, as TT and CSA of GHM have been used in many reports that showed association with muscle strength, function, 7,22,27 we used MMT, TT and CSA of GHM as the indexes of muscle size in this study.…”
