Eating habit patterns may predict maximum occlusal force: A preliminary study.
PLoS ONE, 2022 Masticatory function is thought to be related to various eating habits, but it is difficult to evaluate overall masticatory function by assessing complex eating habits.

HISTORICAL REVIEW OF GNATHODYNAMOMETRIC METHODS USED FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF MASTICATORY FUNCTION [PDF]
Journal of IMAB, 2016 Gnathodynamometric methods prove to be the oldest means available of obtaining an objective quantitative evaluation of masticatory efficiency. On the basis of data collected using these methods static methods were later introduced and in early 20th ...

Improved Prefrontal Activity and Chewing Performance as Function of Wearing Denture in Partially Edentulous Elderly Individuals: Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Study. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 The purpose of this study was to elucidate the effects of wearing a denture on prefrontal activity during chewing performance. We specifically examined that activity in 12 elderly edentulous subjects [63.1±6.1 years old (mean ± SD)] and 12 young healthy ...

Dynamic Modeling of the Electromyographic and Masticatory Force Relation Through Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System Principal Dynamic Mode Analysis [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Medical Physics, 2018 Introduction: Researchers have employed surface electromyography (EMG) to study the human masticatory system and the relationship between the activity of masticatory muscles and the mechanical features of mastication.

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.
