摘要

不同縱向顏面型態的病患，如開咬或深咬，長臉或短臉對於矯正醫師來說是截然不同的治療策略。咀嚼肌群對於縱向顏面型態的影響，往往密不可分，一直是為醫師們所感興趣的。然而，兩者之間因果關係卻也一直難以定論。本文藉由回顧以往文獻，從最常被討論的三大方向：咬力、咀嚼肌橫向截面積、以及咀嚼肌二度空間中的定位及機械利益來作深入探討。

The orthodontic treatment philosophy and strategy toward patients with different vertical facial pattern such as open bite or deep bite, long face or short face, are usually different. The relationship between facial morphology in vertical dimension and masticatory musculature are always interested by orthodontists. However, the cause and effect relationship between muscle function and facial morphology is still inconclusive. To get a better understanding of previous works, this article mainly reviews the relationship between function and form into three aspects: bite force, cross-sectional area of muscle, orientation and mechanical advantage of muscle.
