Factors associated with age-related changes in oral diadochokinesis and masticatory function in healthy old adults

BMC Oral Health
Background This cross–sectional study aimed to identify factors associated with age-related changes in masticatory performance (MP) and oral diadochokinesis (ODK) and to provide normal values in healthy old adults for the diagnosis of oral frailty ...

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

Journal 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.

Thickness measurements and micro‐CT imaging of human temporo‐mandibular discs

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
This study aimed to analyze the morphology of human temporo‐mandibular discs. We measured thickness at nine points, observed disc perforations, and highlighted the potential of micro‐CT imaging to map thickness variations and improve the diagnosis of TMJ‐related conditions like osteoarthritis.

Skull morphology and histology indicate the presence of an unexpected buccal soft tissue structure in dinosaurs

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
A combined approach of osteology and histology was used to examine the cheek regions of dinosaurs. Strong evidence was found for a soft tissue in this region connecting the zygoma to the mandible, here named the ‘exoparia’. Abstract Unlike mammals, reptiles typically lack large muscles and ligaments that connect the zygoma to the mandible.

Effect on Pain Following One Session of Botulinum Toxin Type A in Patients With Jaw Myalgia: A Randomised Double‐Blind Controlled Multicentre Pilot Study

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Botulinum toxin Type A (BTX‐A) is increasingly used in the management of myofascial pain; however, the evidence to support this treatment modality is still inconclusive. Objective To evaluate the change in days with functional jaw pain after one session of BTX‐A or placebo injections into the masseter and temporalis muscles in ...

Evaluation of masticatory performance and patient satisfaction for conventional and 3D-printed implant overdentures: a randomized crossover study

BMC Oral Health
Background This crossover clinical study aimed to evaluate and compare masticatory performance and patient satisfaction for patients rehabilitated with conventional heat-cured acrylic resin and 3D-printed mandibular implant overdentures retained with bar

How Passive Neck Immobilisation Influences Tongue Mobility and Strength: An Observational Study

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background There is a physiological association of the neck movements and jaw and tongue movements. However, there are no previous data regarding the performance of the tongue when the neck is under a lack of movement condition. Objective To quantify the tongue's maximal strength and mobility under an experimental restriction of cervical ...

Regular Smoking Accelerates the Decline in Masticatory Performance in Japanese Men: The Suita Study

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Smoking is presumed to cause a decline in masticatory performance by worsening the intraoral environment in various ways. However, no longitudinal study has examined the relationship between smoking and masticatory performance. Objectives To clarify how smoking affects future decline in masticatory performance through a 5‐year ...

Relationship Between Cigarette Smoking and Awake Bruxism: Does Smoking Increase the Frequency of Masticatory Muscle Activities?

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Despite the aetiology of awake bruxism (AB) being prevalently linked to psychological factors, several studies suggested that the use of certain substances, such as tobacco smoking, can contribute to the increase in masticatory muscle activities (MMA) during wakefulness.
