Assessment of Orofacial Function After Mandibular Angle Harmonization with Hyaluronic Acid: A Longitudinal Observational Study
Hyaluronic acid injection in the mandibular angle did not show clinically detectable changes in maximum molar bite force, suggesting short-term preservation of masticatory function within the 60-day follow-up period. These findings are limited to short-term observations and specific sample characteristics. The observed variation in tongue pressure may reflect adaptive functional adjustments, although variability across participants was considerable.
