  • Title: Masseter muscle nodule due to bruxism. A case in point.
    Author: Shuren S.
    Journal: Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol; 1986 Aug; 62(2):140-1. PubMed ID: 3489214.
    Abstract:
    A 16-year-old white boy had a soft subcutaneous mass in the right masseter muscle. The pediatrician and two surgeons the patient had previously consulted had disagreed as to the origin of the mass and its treatment; their recommendations had ranged from leaving it alone to surgical excision. Treatment involved an orthopedic oral appliance restoring vertical dimension to its genetic norm and galvanic muscle stimulation. After 1 year the mass was eliminated.
