Improved Masticatory Performance in the Partially Edentulous Rehabilitated with Conventional Dental Prostheses

Medicina
Background and Objectives: Oral rehabilitation seeks to enhance mastication, a vital component of oral function that is compromised by tooth loss. This study aimed to assess the degree of improvement of masticatory performance in partially edentulous ...

Lithic analysis in African archaeology: Advances and key themes

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Stone artifacts (lithics) preserve for extended periods; thus they are key evidence for probing the evolution of human technological behaviors. Africa boasts the oldest record of stone artifacts, spanning 3.3 Ma, rare instances of ethnographic stone tool‐making, and stone tool archives from diverse ecological settings, making it an anchor for ...

Fossil bears break free from inhibitory cascade constraints at least twice (Ursus minimus and Ursus deningeri) caused by dietary adaptations

Boreas, EarlyView.
Bears deviate from the inhibitory cascade model (ICM) during molar size evolution, with two significant deviations linked to changes in diet: Ursus minimus and Ursus deningeri. Many bears exhibit a ‘partial ICM’, highlighting the relationship between relative molar size, dietary adaptations and dental development across different species.

Masticatory muscle activity evaluation by electromyography in subjects with zygomatic implants [PDF]

, 2017
Zygomatic implants are an alternative treatment in the rehabilitation of atrophic maxilla to promote stability in the stomatognathic system. The aim of this study was to compare the electromyographic (EMG) activity of masseter and temporalis muscles in ...

Implant Therapy in Patients With Neurodegenerative Diseases—A Scoping Review

Clinical Oral Implants Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives The increasing longevity of populations has resulted in a growing number of older adults requiring prosthodontic care, including those with neurodegenerative diseases (NDs). Neurodegenerative diseases pose significant challenges to prosthodontic care, and it remains unclear whether implant therapy in this population achieves ...

Cognitive and neurodevelopmental disorders in spinal muscular atrophy type I at the time of disease‐modifying therapies

Developmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
Abstract After treatment with new disease‐modifying therapies, cognitive and neurodevelopmental aspects have been observed in individuals with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). Emerging evidence suggests that children with SMA type 1 may experience cognitive, language, and behavioural delays, with reported rates of neurodevelopmental difficulties ranging ...
