title: [Importance of masseter insertion surface in different mammal groups].
abstract: The objective of this study is to compare the strength of the masseter muscle in various mammals by calculating the ratio between insertion area of the masseter and total mandibular surface. We will also determine the factors capable of modifying the insertion area of this masticatory muscle.
