“…Ultrasonography as a non-invasive procedure was employed instead, as a reliable method of measurement of masseter and temporalis muscle thickness [2]. Ultrasonography was reportedly useful in the diagnosis of temporal cysticercosis [5] and in the assessment of early recurrent MO [4].…”

Temporal myositis is a rare inflammatory disease of the temporal muscle. We report a case of unilateral temporal myositis, in which a polymyositis was diagnosed two years thereafter. Although focal myositis may rarely herald polymyositis, isolated temporal myositis preceding inflammatory myopathies has not been described, to our knowledge. In the setting of a temporal pain and swelling, ultrasonography may help in diagnosis, biopsy guidance, disease extension, and progression assessment. Further studies are necessary to establish the role of elastography in differentiating between muscle inflammation and hypertrophy.

“…The surface topography for the masseter muscle is excellent due to its superficial anatomical position Fig. 6 &7); however, the volume and cross-section assessments have been difficult 50 . Hence, the present study sought to evaluate these dimensions with a simplified approach and using arithmetical formulas 51 .…”

“…Hence, the present study sought to evaluate these dimensions with a simplified approach and using arithmetical formulas 51 . A comprehensive meta analysis was recently presented by Serra in 2008 50 which reported masseter muscle thickness in contraction to range from 5-14.1mm 52,53 . One could argue that this wide variation would be due to racial or ethnic diversity not to mention the time of recording be the muscle relaxed or tensed in contraction.…”

“…Recent studies have used USD to measure muscle sections and to correlate these data with pathologies such as temporomandibular disorder (TMD), pain on palpation, facial morphology, bite force and occlusal factors (5,17) . USD has considerable advantages over other imaging modalities, such as computed tomography and magnetic resonance, which make it a more suitable method for large-scale studies (18) . Compared with computed tomography, USD has no known cumulative biological effects.…”

OBJETIVO: Caracterizar o controle motor dos músculos masseter e temporal e a morfologia do músculo masseter em atividades da função mastigatória em indivíduos com oclusão normal; verificar a compatibilidade entre os exames de eletromiografia de superfície (EMGs) e ultrassonografia (USG). MÉTODOS: Participaram 22 indivíduos adultos, de ambos os gêneros, sem alterações no sistema miofuncional orofacial. Os procedimentos adotados para avaliação dos participantes foram: EMGs dos músculos masseteres (MM) e temporais (MT); e USG dos MM, na realização de três tarefas - repouso muscular, apertamento dentário com algodão, apertamento dentário sem algodão. RESULTADOS: Para análise estatística dos dados foram utilizados os testes de Kolmogorv-Smirnov, teste-T pareado e Correlação de Spearman, com nível de significância de 5%. Na EMGs observou-se diferença entre a ativação de MM e MT no apertamento dentário com e sem algodão, sendo MT mais ativo que MM em ambas as tarefas. Não foram observadas diferenças entre as hemifaces, tanto na EMGs quanto na USG. Observou-se também correlação positiva entre os exames na condição de apertamento dentário sem algodão esquerdo e na condição de apertamento dentário esquerdo com algodão, e tendência à significância no apertamento dentário direito sem algodão. CONCLUSÃO: A associação da EMGs e USG na investigação da funcionalidade muscular traz importantes informações sobre fisiologia da musculatura esquelética. Os resultados do presente estudo indicam haver correlação entre a EMGs e a USG, ou seja, o aumento da atividade elétrica e o aumento correspondente da espessura do músculo.
