It\u00a0holds an important role in facial expression, as it is present in 97-100%\u00a0of individuals. It is generally found as a single unit but sometimes bifurcates\u00a0into two bundles. The inferior belly inserts at the confluence of the\u00a0muscle below the corner of the mouth, into the anatomical structure area\u00a0of the Modiolus.<br \/>\nMETHODS: In 51 adult formalin fixed human cadavers, bilateral dissection\u00a0of zygomaticus major muscles was performed.\u00a0In order to define the dimensions of the muscle, we used markers of its\u00a0anatomical details. Five consecutive color images for each cadaver were\u00a0taken which underwent further evaluation, using the photogrammetric\u00a0software i-Witness.<br \/>\nRESULTS: A double or bifid zygomaticus major was found in 12.8%,\u00a0while a single form was present in 80%. The average length and width of\u00a0the single form was 45.5 mm and 8.5 mm respectively. As the double\u00a0zygomaticus major was concerned, the average width of the main muscle\u00a0belly was 8.9 mm while the length was 50 mm. The average length and\u00a0width of the superior bundle was 22 mm and 7.2 mm, while the average\u00a0length and width of the inferior bundle was 27.6 mm and 6.1 mm\u00a0respectively.<br \/>\nCONCLUSION: Zygomaticus Major and especially its bifid form contribute\u00a0greatly to the formation of the Modiolus. This is of critical importance\u00a0in several areas, such as plastic and craniofacial surgery, orthodontics,\u00a0phonation and speech.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stoltidou A., Dimitrakopoulos I., Pateraki M., Koebke J., Dionyssopoulos A.J., 2011.
