目的：本研究的目的是确定咬肌厚度的变化，由于状态的完全无牙颌和全口义齿康复对咬肌muscles.Methods的影响：咬肌在放松和收缩状态的实时超声进行了12例（6牙和6完全无牙）。结果：无牙颌患者术后3个月的平均咬肌厚度较戴义齿时明显增加，但明显低于同年龄组的有牙颌患者。在本研究的限制范围内，可以得出结论，全口义齿修复后咬肌厚度发生变化，肌肉厚度增加。然而，肌肉的厚度仍然小于齿状个体。
Aim: The aim of the present study was to determine the changes in masseter muscle thickness due to the state of complete edentulism and the effect of complete denture rehabilitation on the masseter muscle.Methods: Real-time ultrasonography of the masseter muscle at relaxed and contracted states was carried out for twelve patients (six dentulous and six completely edentulous). Edentulous patients were scanned at the time of denture insertion and at the end of 3 months' follow up.Results: The mean masseter muscle thickness of the edentulous patients was significantly increased after the 3-month follow-up than the thickness at the time of denture insertion, but was significantly lower than that of the dentulous patients of the same age group.Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, it can be concluded that change occurs in the masseter muscle thickness after rehabilitation with complete dentures in the form of increased muscle thickness. However, the thickness of the muscle remains smaller than that of dentate individuals.
