Masticatory performance in patients with jaw muscle pain: A case–control study

Frontiers in Dental Medicine, 2022
IntroductionMasticatory function is often impaired in patients with painful temporomandibular disorders (TMD); therefore, more detailed studies on comminution and mixing ability are warranted in well-defined TMD patients with chronic myalgia.

Mastication-Enhanced Taste-Based Classification of Multi-Ingredient Dishes for Robotic Cooking

Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 2022
Chefs frequently rely on their taste to assess the content and flavor of dishes during cooking. While tasting the food, the mastication process also provides continuous feedback by exposing the taste receptors to food at various stages of chewing.

Alteration of Mastication Force via Intraoral Closed-Loop Electrical Stimulation

IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering
Mastication plays an important role in effective food digestion and nutrient absorption. Therefore, regulating masticatory force in people with declining mastication function is significant for maintaining health and quality of life.

Oral Processing Studies: Why Multidisiciplinary?

Foods, 2020
When food is ingested, it remains in the mouth for a short period of time. Although this period is brief compared to the total food nutrient digestion and absorption time, it is crucially important as it is the first step in digestion.

Assessing thickness and stiffness of superficial/deep masticatory muscles in orofacial pain: an ultrasound and shear wave elastography study

Annals of Medicine, 2023
Introduction Sonoelastography has been increasingly used for non-invasive evaluation of the mechanical features of human tissues. The interplay between orofacial pain and regional muscle activity appears clinically paramount, although only few imaging ...
