Occlusal force predicts global motion coherence threshold in adolescent boys

BMC Pediatrics, 2018
Background Beneficial effects of mastication on cognitive abilities in the elderly have been shown in human studies. However, little is currently known about the effect of masticatory stimulation on cognitive and perceptual ability in younger populations.

Candida albicans biofilm heterogeneity does not influence denture stomatitis but strongly influences denture cleansing capacity [PDF]

, 2017
Approximately 20  % of the UK population wear some form of denture prosthesis, resulting in denture stomatitis in half of these individuals. Candida albicans is primarily attributed as the causative agent, due to its biofilm -forming ability.

Functional tooth units and masticatory ability in elderly population

Padjadjaran Journal of Dentistry, 2021
Introduction: The elders are the ones that most often experience tooth loss which affects masticatory function. Masticatory function can be evaluated subjectively through masticatory ability assessment. The masticatory function is influenced by the number of posterior occluding pairs; this also may be called as functional tooth units (FTUs).

Association between denture use, chewing ability, and all-cause mortality in middle-aged and older adults who exercised regularly in Korea

Scientific Reports, 2021
Herein, using data from the Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging (2006–2018), we evaluated denture use and chewing ability to determine the status of oral health in middle-aged adults who exercised regularly; further, we investigated the relationship of ...

Primate modularity and evolution: first anatomical network analysis of primate head and neck musculoskeletal system [PDF]

, 2018
Network theory is increasingly being used to study morphological modularity and integration. Anatomical network analysis (AnNA) is a framework for quantitatively characterizing the topological organization of anatomical structures and providing an ...

Masticatory Functionality in Post-Acute-COVID-Syndrome (PACS) Patients with and without Sarcopenia

Oral, 2023
Musculoskeletal symptoms are common in both acute COVID-19 disease and post-acute sequelae (Post-Acute COVID Syndrome). The purpose of this study is to investigate whether there are reduced levels of masticatory function in patients with PACS (Post Acute

Factors Influencing Masticatory Ability in Adults.

JOURNAL OF DENTAL HEALTH, 1993
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of factors influencing masticatory ability in adults. We examined adults from 18 to 86 years of age living in Yasuda Town, Niigata Prefecture. For subjective assessment of masticatory ability, we obtained data from 336 subjects about the food group in which subjects could chew all foods well, using ...
