Impact of mandibular conventional denture and overdenture on quality of life and masticatory efficiency

Brazilian Oral Research
The aim of this non-randomized controlled clinical trial was to evaluate the oral health-related quality of life and masticatory efficiency of patients rehabilitated with mandibular two-implant overdentures with immediate loading or conventional dentures.

Finite element analysis of feeding in red and gray squirrels (Sciurus vulgaris and Sciurus carolinensis)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Invasive gray squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) have replaced the native red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) across much of Great Britain over the last century. Several factors have been proposed to underlie this replacement, but here we investigated the potential for dietary competition in which gray squirrels have better feeding performance than ...

Quantitative assessment of masticatory muscles based on skull muscle attachment areas in Carnivora

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Masticatory muscles are composed of the temporalis, masseter, and pterygoid muscles in mammals. Each muscle has a different origin on the skull and insertion on the mandible; thus, all masticatory muscles contract in different directions. Collecting in vivo data and directly measuring the masticatory muscles anatomically in various Carnivora ...

Masticatory performance and patient satisfaction of metal-reinforced and CAD/CAM-fabricated acrylic resin mandibular complete dentures

Journal of the Arab Society for Medical Research, 2023
Background/aim The masticatory problem of removable complete dentures had been introduced by many researchers to be assisted by many recent technologies. Solving such issues advances self-patient satisfaction, confidence, and motivation.

Influence of the number of implants in the edentulous mandible on chewing efficacy and oral health-related quality of life-A within-subject design study [PDF]

, 2022
Objectives To investigate the chewing efficiency and oral health-related quality of life of edentulous patients wearing complete dentures, successively supported by one, two, and three implants in the mandible.

STUDIES ON THE MASTICATORY EFFICIENCY

Nihon Hotetsu Shika Gakkai Zasshi, 1971
As the preliminary stages for research in masticatory efficiency of denture wears, the author has made experiments to obtain on persons with natural teeth the basic informations requiring for establishment of a method to measure all inclusive masticatory ablilty in the stand point of biochemical digestive process in mastication which has never been ...

Incisor cross‐sectional area at the cementoenamel junction correlates with an increased reliance on frugivory in anthropoid primates

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Diet is one of a limited set of key ecological parameters defining primate species. A detailed understanding of dental functional correlates with primate diet is a key component for accurate dietary inference in fossil primates. Although considerable effort has been devoted to understanding post‐canine dental function, incisor function remains

Is cranial anatomy indicative of fossoriality? A case study of the mammaliaform Hadrocodium wui

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Determining the ecology of fossil species presents considerable challenges due to the often fragmentary preservation of specimens. The mammaliaform Hadrocodium wui from the Jurassic of China is known only from the cranium and mandible but may have had a fossorial lifestyle.

A chewing robot based on parallel mechanism-- analysis and design : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Engineering in Mechatronics at Massey University [PDF]

, 2006
Masticatory efficiency, dependent on number and condition of the teeth, length of time spent in chewing a bolus and the force exerted when chewing, influences an individual with the selection of food and therefore nutritionally diet.
