We sought to evaluate the response of 6 patients with masseter muscle hypertrophy to botulinum toxin type A therapy.
Six patients with unilateral or bilateral masseter muscle hypertrophy received intramuscular injection of the botulinum toxin type A. The functional and cosmetic results were evaluated as well as recurrence.
In all patients, satisfactory regression of the masseter muscle hypertrophy occurred and mild muscular pain was relieved. Recurrence was observed in 2 cases.
The use of botulinum toxin type A in masseter muscle hypertrophy therapy was shown to be a successful and safe treatment method. This procedure to control parafunctional activities involving the masticatory muscles of patients appears to be useful.
我们试图评估6例咬肌肥大患者对A型肉毒毒素治疗的反应。
6例单侧或双侧咬肌肥大患者接受了A型肉毒毒素肌肉注射。对功能和美容效果以及复发情况进行了评估。
所有患者咬肌肥大均出现了令人满意的消退,轻度肌肉疼痛得到缓解。2例出现复发。
A型肉毒毒素用于咬肌肥大治疗被证明是一种成功且安全的治疗方法。这种控制患者咀嚼肌副功能活动的方法似乎是有用的。
