Background Aging is associated with a decline in masticatory muscles mass and
performance. The present study aims to examine the differences in the cross-sectional areas …

Objectives This study aimed to investigate the relationship between aging and tooth loss on
masseter muscle quantity and quality. Materials and methods This cross-sectional study was …

Objectives: The objective of this study was to quantitatively evaluate the correlation between
left and right masticatory muscle volumes in normal subjects. Methods: Contiguous 1 mm …

There is still considerable controversy surrounding the impact of mastication on obesity. The
aim of this study was to identify the interplay between the masticatory muscles, teeth, and …

Background The masseter muscle plays a key structural and functional role in the
stomatognathic system. Researchers' cumulative evidence has suggested that the variation …

Objectives To evaluate the effect of age and chosen factors related to aging such as
dentition, muscle strength, and nutrition on masticatory muscles electromyographic activity …

While appropriate nutrient intake is important for older adults, various oral problems cause
decreased masticatory function. This cross-sectional study aimed to identify the factors …

Objective To develop a simple method to estimate masseter muscle mass. Background The
masseter muscle is important for optimal oral function. A decrease in the masseter muscle …

Quantitative information on the normal size range of the masticatory muscles needed for
successful treatment of facial asymmetry is sparse. Our purpose in this study was to define …

Background Although age‐related changes in muscle quality influence muscle strength, the
relationship between masseter muscle (MM) quality and maximum biting force (MBF) has …
