Was to assess the correlation of various maxillofacial structures in subjects with different types of craniofacial growth.
The results of comparing the morphology of the masseter muscles (thickness, area, echostructure) in 30 volunteers aged from 18 to 25 years without malocclusions and different type of craniofacial growth were presented.
A significant correlation between the thickness of the masseter muscles and morphology of the facial skull was observed: the smallest thickness of masseter muscles was in subjects with vertical type of craniofacial growth, the largest - in patients with horizontal type of craniofacial growth. The study results improved ultrasound technique of masseter muscles assessment including methods for measuring the thickness, area and echostructure on ultrasound images.
The obtained results may be seen as reference points for assessment of the same structures in patients with malocclusions.
评估不同类型颅面生长受试者各种颌面结构之间的相关性。
呈现了对30名年龄在18至25岁、无咬合不正且颅面生长类型不同的志愿者的咬肌形态（厚度、面积、回声结构）进行比较的结果。
观察到咬肌厚度与面颅骨形态之间存在显著相关性：颅面垂直生长型受试者的咬肌厚度最小，颅面水平生长型患者的咬肌厚度最大。研究结果改进了咬肌评估的超声技术，包括在超声图像上测量厚度、面积和回声结构的方法。
所获结果可视为评估咬合不正患者相同结构的参考点。
