Bite Force, Occlusal Contact and Pain in Orthodontic Patients during Fixed-Appliance Treatment

open access: yesDental journal, 2022
Previously, bite force, occlusal contact and pain were investigated in orthodontic patients with moderate-to-severe malocclusion, but not in patients with minor malocclusion.

Feedforward and feedback control in apraxia of speech: effects of noise masking on vowel production [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
PURPOSE: This study was designed to test two hypotheses about apraxia of speech (AOS) derived from the Directions Into Velocities of Articulators (DIVA) model (Guenther et al., 2006): the feedforward system deficit hypothesis and the feedback system ...

Novel Self-powered Flexible Thin Bite Force Sensor with Electret and Dielectric Elastomer

open access: yesSensors and materials, 2022
Monitoring the bite force is valuable in the treatment of bruxism, an unconscious oral habit. Conventional bite force sensors used in clinical practice are unsuitable for wearable bite force measurement systems because of their size and measurement ...

Clade-wide variation in bite-force performance is determined primarily by size, not ecology

open access: yesProceedings of the Royal Society B, 2022
Performance traits are tightly linked to the fitness of organisms. However, because studies of variation in performance traits generally focus on just one or several closely related species, we are unable to draw broader conclusions about how and why ...

Adult-perpetrated Animal Abuse: Development of a Proclivity Scale [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
There is a clear discrepancy in the reporting of animal cruelty complaints, prosecutions and convictions suggesting that any prevalence figures of abuse are significant under-representations.

A bite force database of 654 insect species

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2022
Bite force is a decisive performance trait in animals because it plays a role for numerous life history components such as food consumption, inter- and intraspecific interactions, and reproductive success.

Morphological determinants of bite force capacity in insects: a biomechanical analysis of polymorphous leaf-cutter ants

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2021
The extraordinary success of social insects is partially based on ‘division of labour’, i. e. individuals exclusively or preferentially perform specific tasks.

Bite Force in Elderly with Full Natural Dentition and Different Rehabilitation Prosthesis

open access: yesInternational Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2021
(1) Background: This study aimed to investigate maximum bite force (MBF) in elderly patients with natural full dentition (FD), patients rehabilitated with Traditional Complete Dentures (CD), with overdentures (IRO) and edentulous patients (ED).
