Abstract: This research project was designed to apply several, newly developed and more sophisticated methods of measuring muscle structure and function to a situation where adaptation of muscle is pivotal to the success of a therapeutic approach, as is the case with orthognathic surgery.
The masseter muscle displays a penniform structure typically characterized by the presence of alternating muscular/aponeurotic layers. The anatomical sections and the MRI section in the same plane allowed the appearance of the intra-muscular aponeurotic layers on the MRI to be defined. Given these characteristics, the masseter muscle was chosen in preference to the medial pterygoid muscle.
A prototype device called the Occlusal Force Diagnostic System accompanied by a second prototype device called the Bite Training Machine were constructed to measure patients’ occlusal force. This system was applied in a repeatability test with 30 patients that attend the combined orthodontic/orthognathic surgery outpatient clinic of Clitrofa – Centro Médico, Dentário e Cirúrgico, in Trofa – Portugal.

Evaluation of Pressure Changes in Orthognathic Surgery using Pressurex® in 3 Years of Follow-up
Despite its importance, the measurement of pressure in orthognathic surgery often receives little attention. Pressurex® (SPL – Sensor Products LLC, USA) is one of a few pressureindicating sensor films that reveals pressure distribution and magnitude between any two contacting, mating or impacting surfaces, and is currently viewed as a golden standard for that purpose. This study was designed to test Pressurex® in orthognathic surgery.
