The Effect of a Masticatory Muscle Training Program on Chewing Efficiency and Bite Force in People with Dementia [PDF]
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2022 Until now, no study has investigated the effects of masticatory muscle training on chewing function in people with dementia. This study aimed to investigate whether physiotherapeutic exercises for the masticatory muscles have an influence on chewing ...

Masticatory system integration in a commensal canid: interrelationships between bones, muscles and bite force in the red fox [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2021 The jaw system in canids is essential for defence and prey acquisition. However, how it varies in wild species in comparison with domestic species remains poorly understood, yet is of interest in terms of understanding the impact of artificial selection.

The jaw is a second-class lever in Pedetes capensis (Rodentia: Pedetidae) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 The mammalian jaw is often modelled as a third-class lever for the purposes of biomechanical analyses, owing to the position of the resultant muscle force between the jaw joint and the teeth.

Association between clinical and functional factors and masticatory function of edentulous individuals aged 70 years and older: a cross-sectional study [PDF]
BMC GeriatricsBackground The global increase in the older population has led to a rise in untreated oral conditions such as edentulism. Oral rehabilitation for edentulous patients is essential to mitigate systemic health risks, including the progression of sarcopenia.
