Assessing masseter muscle volume and activity in relation to craniofacial morphology: a 3D CBCT study.

The findings obtained in this study suggest that the significant relationship between EMG and sagittal skeletal classification could be a valuable diagnostic tool. However, concerns about reliability were raised due to uneven distribution in muscle volume and BF among vertical direction groups. The lack of significant results in muscle volume, sEMG, and BF was attributed to CBCT limitations in soft tissue imaging and the small sample size, emphasizing caution in interpreting the findings.
