Eating habit patterns may predict maximum occlusal force: A preliminary study.
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.

Effect of force direction and masticatory force towards orthodontic tooth movement in rats
The aim of the research is to investigate the influence of coil spring directions and masticatory force on the amount of OTM. Materials and Methods. Thirty-six male Wistar rats (n = 36) were divided proportionally into two groups with (M) or without masticatory force (NM), treated with palatal coil type (PD) or labial coil (LD) using a costumed ...

HISTORICAL REVIEW OF GNATHODYNAMOMETRIC METHODS USED FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF MASTICATORY FUNCTION [PDF]
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 ...

We describe the functional anatomy of masticatory muscles in nine opossums, finding a generalized anatomical pattern with differences related to skull morphology. Variation in quantitative myological data and estimated bite force was mostly related to size, and the increase in bite force supports dietary diversification associated with size increase ...

Background Implant-supported removable partial dentures (ISRPD) are supported at the free-end region with implant retainers. As implant retainers prevent denture settlement and facilitate denture retention, this is intended to improve masticatory ...

Improved Prefrontal Activity and Chewing Performance as Function of Wearing Denture in Partially Edentulous Elderly Individuals: Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Study. [PDF]
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 ...
