Usability of shear wave elastography in the quantitative evaluation of masseter muscle stiffness in adolescents with bruxism
Adolescents with bruxism had higher MM hardness values in closed and open positions compared to the control group. SWE can be used as an effective imaging method to measure MM hardness. No relationship existed between SWE values and the patient's age or duration of bruxism.
