“…Ultrasonography has been used as a noninvasive diagnostic technique for diagnosing various diseases in the human body and in particular to analyze the effectiveness of BoNT treatment (e.g., changes in muscle thickness, bite force, and contours of the lower face) in the masseter muscle (Park et al, ; Kim et al, ; Shim et al, ; Quezada‐Gaon et al, ). The present study used ultrasonography to confirm the presence of the DIT in the superficial part of the masseter muscle in healthy young subjects.…”

“…Lee and his colleagues recently confirmed that ultrasonography‐guided BoNT injection produced good outcomes in correcting asymmetrical smiles (Lee et al, ). Despite its difficulty, the masseter muscle was easier to approach than the facial expression muscles via ultrasonography, which has increased highly in clinical usage (Kiliaridis and Kalebo, ; Bakke et al, ; Raadsheer et al, ; Quezada‐Gaon et al, ).…”

Ultrasonography of the internal architecture of the superficial part of the masseter muscle in vivo

It is unclear whether the deep inferior tendon (DIT) is equally present in vivo, and little anatomical information is available regarding the existence and morphology of the DIT in healthy young subjects. The aim of this study was to characterize the DIT of the masseter muscle in healthy young subjects using ultrasonography and to compare the morphology of this tendon with previously reported data for healthy young subjects in order to provide the most-effective injection methods for botulinum neurotoxin treatments of masseteric hypertrophy. This study investigated two fresh cadavers and 30 healthy subjects. Ultrasonography scanning in both longitudinal and transverse directions was applied to the masseter muscle. The DIT within the superficial part of the masseter was observed in both the fresh cadavers and the living subjects. The posterior region of the masseter muscle was compartmentalized (entirely covered) by the DIT in 26.7% of the specimens. The superficial part of the masseter muscle was divided by the DIT transversely and longitudinally into the superficial and deep muscle bellies in 35% and 38.3% of the specimens, respectively. The present findings suggest applying a DIT-based injection technique under guidance by ultrasonography prior to treating masseteric hypertrophy. Clin. Anat. 32:446-452, 2019.

Dermatologic ultrasound is a recent application of ultrasound for the evaluation of healthy skin and appendages and their diseases. Although the scientific literature regarding this application is still not sufficient for evidence-based guidelines, general recommendations issued by scientific societies are necessary. The EFSUMB (European Federation of Societies for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology) steering committee for dermatologic ultrasound has developed a series of consensus position statements regarding the main fields of dermatologic ultrasound (technical requirement, normal skin and appendages, inflammatory skin diseases, tumoral skin diseases, aesthetic dermatology and practice-training requirements). This document is the foundation for future evidence-based recommendations and guidelines for dermatologic ultrasound practice.

“…Some of the adverse effects are related to the inadequate placement of injections, or administration of inadequate doses (17,19). Palpation of the hyperactivity areas within the muscle ensures placing the injections in the adequate topographic region, while the depth of the injection can be approximated by initially touching the bone and then slightly retracting the needle.…”

Objectives. The focus of this study is to determine the outcomes of botulinum toxin injections in patients with symptomatic bruxism. Material and methods. We reviewed the medical records of patients with bruxism and facial arthromyalgia syndrome treated by botulinum toxin injections. We evaluated the initial complaints, clinical findings, technique of neurotoxin administration, previous treatments and post-injection outcomes. Results. Pain related symptoms were significantly decreased in all patients one month following administration and maintained three months post-injection. Complications of the technique were mild and rarely encountered. Conclusions. Botulinum toxin is effective in reducing the associated symptoms of bruxism, and its administration is generally safe if careful injection technique is employed and adequate doses used.

Comparison of clinical marking and ultrasound‐guided injection of Botulinum type A toxin into the masseter muscles for treating bruxism and its cosmetic effects

Abstract: Ultrasound can be a potent tool for guiding the injection of Botulinum toxin into the masseter muscles. It may contribute to a more personalized procedure, better cosmetic results, and help to avoid potential complications.
