Quantitative Comparison of Age‐Related Development of Oral Functions During Growing Age

Clinical and Experimental Dental Research
Objectives This cross‐sectional study aimed to investigate the age‐related development of five major oral functions—tongue pressure, lip pressure, masticatory efficiency, bite force, and occlusal contact area—in subjects aged 5–20 years.

Selection of dental implants based on masticatory load of the patient: A novel approach

Indian Journal of Dental Research, 2017
Purpose: Masticatory load and efficiency vary from one individual to other. Maximum load of one person may be the least load of another. Hence, optimization of dental implants based on the load dissipation of an individual is essential for a better ...

A Hemispherical Contact Model for Simplifying 3D Occlusal Surfaces [PDF]

, 2018
Statement of problem Currently, dental articulators can recreate mandibular movements and occlusal contacts. However, whether virtual articulators can also provide information about occluding dental surfaces, functional movements, and the mandibular ...

Investigating activity of masticatory muscles in patients with hypermobile temporomandibular joints by using EMG [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Temporomandibular joint hypermobility (TMJH) can manifest higher range of motions in mandible. The aim of this study was to investigate and compare the activity of masticatory muscle of TMJs in healthy individuals and patients with mild ...

A perspective from the Mesozoic: Evolutionary changes of the mammalian skull and their influence on feeding efficiency and high‐frequency hearing

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The complex evolutionary history behind modern mammalian chewing performance and hearing function is a result of several changes in the entire skeletomuscular system of the skull and lower jaw. Lately, exciting multifunctional 3D analytical methods and kinematic simulations of feeding functions in both modern and fossil mammals and their ...

Alteration of Mastication Force via Intraoral Closed-Loop Electrical Stimulation

IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering
Mastication plays an important role in effective food digestion and nutrient absorption. Therefore, regulating masticatory force in people with declining mastication function is significant for maintaining health and quality of life.

Comparative analysis of internal and external-hex crown connection systems - a finite element study [PDF]

, 2006
The abutment connection with the crown is fundamental to the structural stability of the implant system and to the prevention of mechanical exertion that can compromise the success of the implant treatment.

Lagomorph cranial biomechanics and the functional significance of the unique fenestrated rostrum of leporids

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The crania of leporid lagomorphs are uniquely fenestrated, including the posterior cranial bones and the lateral portion of the maxilla. The functional significance of the highly fenestrated rostrum has received considerably little attention, despite being absent in other mammalian herbivores with a long rostrum.

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.

Bite Force Estimation and the Fiber Architecture of Felid Masticatory Muscles [PDF]

The Anatomical Record, 2012
AbstractIncreasingly, analyses of craniodental dietary adaptations take into account mechanical properties of foods. However, masticatory muscle fiber architecture has been described for relatively few lineages, even though an understanding of the scaling of this anatomy can yield important information about adaptations for stretch and strength in the ...
