OBJECTIVES. The aim of the present study was to analyse the anatomical three-dimensional characteristics of mas- seter muscle in growing subjects by using an ultrasound method. MATERIALS AND METHODS. The sample comprised 60 prepubescent sub- jects. According to the facial divergence (Frankfort-Mandibular plane Angle, FMA) the subjects were divided into three groups with different underlying verti- cal facial patterns: brachyfacial, FMA < 22°; mesofacial, 22°<28°; dolichofacial, FMA >28°. For each subjects, an ultrasound scan was carried out in order to analyse the masseter muscle’s width, thickness, cross-sectional area and volume. RESULTS. Measurements of the whole masseter in dolichofacial patients were significantly smaller when compared with brachyfacial and mesofacial individuals. CONCLUSIONS. A significant negative cor- relation was found between the ultrasound measurements and the divergence (FMA)
