Dynamic Modeling of the Electromyographic and Masticatory Force Relation Through Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System Principal Dynamic Mode Analysis [PDF]
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.

Osteoarthrosis: Analyze of the Molar Bite Force, Thickness and Masticatory Efficiency [PDF]
Osteoarthrosis is a disorder of synovial joints, resulting from destruction of the cartilage and subchondral bone. The present study is aimed to investigate the molar bite force, thickness and efficiency of the masseter and temporalis muscles of subjects with osteoarthrosis. A total of forty-eight subjects participated in the study.

Masticatory Force in Relation with Age in Subjects with Full Permanent Dentition: A Cross-Sectional Study. [PDF]
Masticatory performance is directly correlated with masticatory muscle work to grind and cut the food. Chewing efficacy is decisive to eating a variety of foods needed maintain general health status at all ages.

Effect of enhanced masticatory force on OPG, RANKL and MGF in alveolar bone of ovariectomized rats. [PDF]
Menopause induces oral bone loss, leading to various oral diseases. Mastication importantly affects bone metabolism in the jawbone. Objective: To analyze the effect of enhanced masticatory force on osteoprotegerin (OPG), receptor activator of nuclear ...

Dietary Patterns Affect Occlusal Force but Not Masticatory Behavior in Children
In this study, we conducted a dietary assessment of the subjects and investigated the relationship of energy, nutrients and food intake to the indices of masticatory ability and masticatory behavior for identifying the differences in their association with dietary patterns.The subjects were 61 5-y-old children, of whom 45 were included in the final ...
