The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the thickness of masticatory and cervical muscles (temporalis, masseter and sternocleidomastoid) and facial asymmetries in young patients.
21 subjects were selected, through a detailed anamnesis and clinical examination, in order to assess the normality of oral tissues, the presence of normal occlusion, the absence of alteration in tooth dimensions and of congenital or developmental anomalies of lips, mouth or face.
The present investigation showed that temporalis, masseter and sternocleidomastoid muscles in untreated and growing individuals with facial asymmetries are thinner on the omolateral side when compared with controlateral normal side, but in the untreated one this value is more statistically significantly.
In conclusion, the cervical muscle's thickness resulted increased in young patients Ultrasound is beginning to be recognized to have potential use in dentistry as a safe, noninvasive, comfortable and cost-effective adjunct to diagnosis by producing high-resolution images more easily than magnetic resonance (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) (27-kubo).
本研究旨在确定年轻患者咀嚼肌和颈部肌肉（颞肌、咬肌和胸锁乳突肌）厚度与面部不对称之间的关系。
通过详细的病史采集和临床检查，选取21名受试者，以评估口腔组织的正常性、正常咬合的存在情况、牙齿尺寸无改变以及嘴唇、口腔或面部无先天性或发育异常。
目前的研究表明，与对侧正常侧相比，未经治疗且面部不对称的生长中个体的颞肌、咬肌和胸锁乳突肌在患侧更薄，但在未经治疗的个体中，该值在统计学上更显著。
总之，年轻患者颈部肌肉厚度增加。超声开始被认为在牙科具有潜在用途，它是一种安全、无创、舒适且经济高效的诊断辅助手段，比磁共振成像（MRI）和计算机断层扫描（CT）更易于产生高分辨率图像（27 - 久保）。
