Masseteric Hypertrophy
Masseter hypertrophy is known as an asymptomatic enlargement of one or both massage muscles. For certain cases, the etiological element is also uncertain and is assumed to be idiopathic. While various causes have been cited, such as malocclusion, bruxism, clenching, or temporomandibular joint problems, they have not been proven to be definitive. Pain may be a symptom, but it is more common for a physician to be seen for cosmetic reasons. For certain cases, prominent exostoses are noticed at the angle of the jaw.
In several cases, massage enlargement is thought to emerge from a condition other than work hypertrophy with the absence of a certain form of muscle fibers promoting a cause other than 'work hypertrophy'. Clenbuterol induced hypertrophy, overuse of anabolic steroids, localized scleroderma, facial Hemi-atrophy, multifactorial origin in combination with a genetic basis, masseter hypertrophy is also compatible with a rare genetic condition known as hypertrophic branchial myopathy.
Established treatments include Use of muscle relaxants, Bite adjustments or involve the use of splints on the teeth, Surgical reduction of the jaw muscle, Injections of botulinum toxin type A directly into the muscle are other treatment options. Injection of botulinum toxin type A to the massaged muscle is another approach to treatment. Botulinum toxin type A injection has been confirmed to be safe and successful in the treatment of orofacial dystonia, sialorrhea, Frey syndrome, muscle hypertrophy, etc. Botulinum toxin type A, a full capacity neurotoxin, is generated by the anaerobic organism Clostridium botulinum. The treatment of choice is the excision of the internal layer of the massaged muscle and the reduction of the thickened bone in the mandibular angle area by the intraoral method. Treatment and techniques differ from the preference of the patient to the nature of the situation.
