To chew, it is necessary to maintain harmony between the masseter muscle and other organs. Various studies have been conducted on the masseter muscle, but none has examined the relationships among masseter muscle form, occlusal support of remaining teeth, and maxillofacial morphology. Thus, we conducted the present study using cadavers donated to anatomy practice. After the masseter muscle was extracted, its length, width, thickness, and volume were measured; histological observations were conducted; and the muscle fiber cross-sectional area and muscle density were calculated. In addition, denture use and non-use were examined. The results showed that when regional support loss occurs, muscle fiber thickness and density decrease. This in turn causes masseter muscle thickness and volume to decrease, resulting in muscle atrophy. Furthermore, excluding Eichner class A cases (all regions intact), the thickness of the masseter muscle is greatest when the premolar support region remains. The premolar support region was shown to have the most impact on masseter muscle morphology. These results suggest that atrophy of the masseter muscle can be arrested or improved with the use of dentures in the case of tooth loss.
