Masseter-facial neurorrhaphy for facial palsy reanimation: What happens after masseter denervation? Histomorphometric and stomatognathic functional analysis

摘要

The aim of the present study was to analyse the consequences of masseter muscle denervation. In facial palsy surgical treatment, the masseteric nerve constitutes an important nerve source for facial reanimation due to its anatomical position and large amount of available axons.
