Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) and bruxism-related masticatory muscle activity may influence masseter morphology, mechanical response and B-mode texture, but their combined ultrasonographic phenotype is unclear. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether clinically defined TMD status and probable bruxism-positive phenotype are associated with multiparametric masseter ultrasound profiles. METHODS: This...
