Masseter hypertrophy is a benign condition which presents an enlargement of the masseter muscle that can occur unilaterally or bilaterally. Its etiology is unknown or idiopathic, although it is presumed to be caused by functional factors specific to everyone. The relaxing occlusal splint is considered a very frequent therapeutic indication in multiple pathologies or disorders of the cranio-cervicomandibular unit. This is the most used tool to treat temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and bruxism. Likewise, Botulinum Toxin Type A is a neurotoxin that in suitable amounts is used therapeutically or as a cosmetic product due to its ability to produce temporarily muscle paralysis, also being indicated in masseterine hypertrophy. The use of a relaxing occlusal splint and the application of botulinum toxin have been mostly studied separately, but the simultaneous use of these two therapeutic techniques could lead to an improvement in the results.
A 30 year old patient came into consult due to a unilateral masseteric hypertrophy of the right side, the treatment was the use of a relaxing occlusal splint during 24 hours complemented by injections of Botulinum Toxin type A, after a month of this application a noticeable improvement in facial aesthetics was observed, however after four months of the first application, a significant relapse was evident due to the drug’s half-life.
