Development of a colorimetric system for evaluation of the masticatory efficiency [PDF]
Brazilian Dental Journal, 2006 The stomatognathic system is responsible for complex vital functions such as chewing, deglutition, respiration and phonation. Food breakdown is one of the masticatory functions, which enables reducing the attrition against the oral soft tissues and increasing the surface contact of food particles with digestive secretions, thus leading to satisfactory ...

New image analysis of large food particles can discriminate experimentally suppressed mastication [PDF]
, 2012 Objective parameters that could provide a basis for food texture selection for elderly or dysphagic patients have not been established. We, therefore, aimed to develop a precise method of measuring large particles (>2 mm in diameter) in a bolus and an ...

Functional evolution of the feeding system in rodents [PDF]
, 2012 The masticatory musculature of rodents has evolved to enable both gnawing at the incisors and chewing at the molars. In particular, the masseter muscle is highly specialised, having extended anteriorly to originate from the rostrum.

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.
