The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) is widely applied for inferring diet in vertebrates. Besides diet and ingesta properties, factors like wear stage and bite force may affect microwear formation, potentially leading to tooth position‐specific microwear patterns.

Quantitative assessment of masticatory muscles based on skull muscle attachment areas in Carnivora
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Masticatory muscles are composed of the temporalis, masseter, and pterygoid muscles in mammals. Each muscle has a different origin on the skull and insertion on the mandible; thus, all masticatory muscles contract in different directions. Collecting in vivo data and directly measuring the masticatory muscles anatomically in various Carnivora ...

Mandible composition and properties in two selected praying mantises (Insecta, Mantodea)
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Insects process their food with their cuticle‐based mouthparts. These feeding structures reflect their diversity and can, in some cases, showcase adaptations in material composition, mechanical properties, and shape to suit their specific dietary preferences.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The trigeminus nerve (cranial nerve V) is a large and significant conduit of sensory information from the face to the brain, with its three branches extending over the head to innervate a wide variety of integumentary sensory receptors, primarily tactile.

Computer Tomography Assessment Of Alveolar Ridge Modifications In Elderly Patients
Romanian Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, 2011 This study aims to assessing how useful are the dental CT scans in the investigation of mandible alveolar ridge modification for diagnosis purposes and whether the jawbone density is correlated or not with the number of teeth lost.

Biomechanical models to simulate consequences of maxillofacial surgery [PDF]
C. R. Biologies 325 (2002) 407-417, 2006 This paper presents the biomechanical finite element models that have been developed in the framework of the computer-assisted maxillofacial surgery. After a brief overview of the continuous elastic modelling method, two models are introduced and their use for computer-assisted applications discussed. The first model deals with orthognathic surgery and

The velar chord and dynamic integration of the gular valve in crocodylians
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Crocodilians have a unique gular valve that forms a seal between the oral cavity and the pharynx. The gular valve has traditionally been treated as two parts: a mobile ventral flap associated with the tongue and a fixed dorsal velum palatini. This work describes a connective tissue band, the velar chord, which functionally integrates the two parts of ...

Bayesian Networks Analysis of Malocclusion Data [PDF]
Scientific Reports 2017, 7(15326), 2017 In this paper we use Bayesian networks to determine and visualise the interactions among various Class III malocclusion maxillofacial features during growth and treatment. We start from a sample of 143 patients characterised through a series of a maximum of 21 different craniofacial features.
