The Impact of Nutritional Status on Oral Health Outcomes and Management in Older Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesGerodontology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This systematic review and meta‐analysis evaluated the relationship between nutritional status and the oral health of older adults (aged 75 years or older). The PECO focus question was, ‘What is the occurrence, association and impact of nutritional state on the oral health outcomes and its management in older adults?’ Methods A ...

Computational simulation of cranial soft tissue expansion on the cranium during early postnatal growth in humans

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
We use computer simulations of soft tissue growth to investigate the role of simple physical deformation in the development of the postnatal human cranium. We found that simulated expansion of the model endocranial volume resulted in cranial shape changes consistent with those seen in a normative early postnatal sample, using Procrustes analyses.

Jaw Muscle Electromyographic Response to Whole‐Body Postural Perturbation

open access: yesJournal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
Graphical abstract illustrating the relationship between jaw muscle activity and whole‐body postural stability in healthy adults. Increased activation of the anterior suprahyoid muscles was observed under uncued postural perturbations compared with cued perturbations, suggesting their recruitment for postural control.

The jaw is a second-class lever in Pedetes capensis (Rodentia: Pedetidae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The mammalian jaw is often modelled as a third-class lever for the purposes of biomechanical analyses, owing to the position of the resultant muscle force between the jaw joint and the teeth.

Assessment of Orofacial Muscle Strength, Masticatory and Swallowing Function in Children Indicated for Orthodontic Treatment—A Preliminary Investigation

open access: yesJournal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
Graphical abstract illustrating the differences in facial muscle strength, masticatory function, and swallowing function in children indicated for orthodontic treatment compared to a reference group with no orthodontic treatment needs. ABSTRACT Background It would be beneficial for clinicians to have more tools to assess the treatment needs of children
