Evaluation of masticatory efficiency in patients with jaw deformities using the gummy jelly method
Advances in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2021 The gummy jelly method is easy to perform and is a reliable method for evaluating masticatory function. This study aimed to evaluate the masticatory function of patients with jaw deformities using the gummy jelly method and to analyse the factors that ...

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 ...

The jaw is a second-class lever in Pedetes capensis (Rodentia: Pedetidae) [PDF]
, 2017 The mammalian jaw is often modelled as a third-class lever for the purposes of biomechanical analyses, owing to the position of the resultant muscle force between the jaw joint and the teeth.

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.

Clinical research on masticatory efficiency and force in the two types of complete denture [PDF]
Kouqiang yixueObjective In this study, we compared the masticatory efficiency, occlusal functional indexes, and satisfaction of lingualized occlusion(LO) vs. anatomic occlusion(AO) and discussed the difference between these occlusions.
