Relationships between Masticatory Muscle Cross-section and Skull Shape
Abstract
Cross-sectional areas of the masseter, temporalis and medial, and lateral pterygoid muscles were determined in 16 subjects by means of computer tomography. In each subject three scans were made, intersecting the thickest part of the muscles at right angles to the fiber direction. The masseter and medial pterygoid muscles are large in persons with brachycephalic skulls, short faces, and a small jaw angle. The cross-sectional areas of the temporalis and lateral pterygoid muscles showed no correlation with facial dimensions.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
