New image analysis of large food particles can discriminate experimentally suppressed mastication [PDF]
Objective parameters that could provide a basis for food texture selection for elderly or dysphagic patients have not been established. We, therefore, aimed to develop a precise method of measuring large particles (>2 mm in diameter) in a bolus and an ...

Association between masticatory ability and oral functions [PDF]
Mastication is the process of breaking ingested food with the teeth and mixing it with saliva to form a mass that is easy to swallow. However, few studies have reported on oral functions, such as occlusal force, tongue pressure, and mastication.

Measurements of masticatory forces in the horse
There is a need for specific data on equine mastication in several fields: (1) In nutritional science, the disruption of the forage is crucial to sufficient energy uptake in the horse (Frape 1990). (2) In mandibular/oral surgery, knowledge about the motions of the jaws and about chewing forces is necessary for the development of techniques and ...
