We use computer simulations of soft tissue growth to investigate the role of simple physical deformation in the development of the postnatal human cranium. We found that simulated expansion of the model endocranial volume resulted in cranial shape changes consistent with those seen in a normative early postnatal sample, using Procrustes analyses.

A robotic chewing device for food evaluation : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Engineering in Mechatronics at Massey University, [PDF]
The aim of this masters project was to design and develop a prototype of robotic chewing device. This project was required for use in food evaluation as it can provide standardised chewing.

The marsupial masticatory apparatus has rarely been studied until recently, mainly in Australasian species. We therefore reconstructed the maximum bite forces of the South American Linnaeus's mouse opossum Marmosa murina using in vivo bites, specimen dissections, and 3D static equilibrium of the jaw muscles.

This study conducts the first comprehensive morphological investigation of the mandibular symphysis in whales. Using gross anatomical observation and CT cross‐sectional data, we describe diverse joint morphologies across 74 extant and fossil cetacean taxa. Toothed whales exhibit unfused, partially fused, or fully fused symphyses.

From practical point of view, parameters of interest are only those that can be clinically evaluated and measured both in vivo, and in vitro, using matched samples and adequate methods. For this research direction, it is important to determine the volume

The present study enlightens the relevant issue that sleep disturbances may influence the onset of awake bruxism. Indeed, self‐reported awake bruxism, showing a significant correlation with daytime sleepiness, could be a sign of underlying tiredness and sleepiness in individuals with OSA.

This study investigates the effects of a mindfulness‐based intervention (MBI) on women aged 18–61 with chronic pain related to temporomandibular disorders (TMD). Eighty‐four participants were randomised into an intervention group (IG) and a control group (CG). The IG received 8 weekly 2‐h MBI sessions plus a 4‐h immersion.

Periodontitis and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease: A critical appraisal
Abstract In spite of intensive research efforts driving spectacular advances in terms of prevention and treatments, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain a leading health burden, accounting for 32% of all deaths (World Health Organization. “Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs).” WHO, February 1, 2017, https://www.who.int/news‐room/fact‐sheets/detail ...
