The jaw is a second-class lever in Pedetes capensis (Rodentia: Pedetidae) [PDF]
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.

Impact of Occlusal Schemes on Implant-Supported Overdentures
Background: The occlusal scheme is a crucial factor in the success and patient satisfaction of implant-supported overdentures. Different occlusal schemes, such as balanced, lingualized, and monoplane occlusion, can influence the functional and ...

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.
