Human facial muscle chart

Description:Advanced Search Abstract The purpose of this investigation was to measure the thickness of the masseter, levator labii superioris, and zygomaticus major muscles; to examine the reproducibility of ultrasonographically measured muscle thickness; to evaluate the association between facial and masticatory muscle thickness and vertical facial pattern; and to test whether the variation in muscle thickness is related to the variation in the body mass index BMI of different individuals. The thickness of the masseter, levator labii superioris and zygomaticus major muscles was measured bilaterally by ultrasonography in 47 23 females, 24 males healthy, fully-dentate young adults who volunteered for the study. The measurements for each individual were performed twice for the masseter muscle: Standardized lateral cephalograms of the subjects were traced to determine their facial morphology. The data obtained from the lateral cephalograms were used to divide the subjects into three groups according to their vertical facial pattern:
