    Abstract:
    The masseter muscle functions by attaching itself to the mandible. Thus, it is important to study the relationship between the masseter muscle and mandible to clarify the complex movement of the jaw. In this study, the chronological changes in the attachment site of the masseter muscle to the mandible following injury were observed in rats. These findings suggest that, in order for the masseter muscle to recover after injury, the tendinous fibers must be repaired, so that the entire muscle can be protected and recover functionality to some degree.
