Masticatory force and electromyographic activity of the mandibular elevators muscles in different rehabilitation treatments.

Brazilian Dental Science, 2019
The masticatory function is one of the most complex neuropsychological mechanisms in human motor performance and it depends on several factors, such as bite force, muscle coordination, morphology, and number of teeth in occlusion.

Effect of masticatory training using confectioneries on oral function in elderly patients – A randomized controlled trial

Journal of Dental Sciences, 2022
Background/purpose: The number of patients with oral hypofunction is increasing with the aging of the population, and such hypofunction increases their risk for dysphagia and malnutrition.

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

PLoS ONE, 2022
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.

Elucidation of the relationship between masticatory muscle activity and masticatory movement. Report 1. Mechanism of occlusal force generation

Clinical and Experimental Dental Research, 2023
Objectives The purpose of this study was to elucidate how masticatory muscles are involved in the generation of occlusal force. Materials and Methods The experiment was conducted by fabricating an experimental apparatus for a unilateral occlusion model ...

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

Journal of IMAB, 2016
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 ...

Clinical effectiveness of implant support for distal extension removable partial dentures: functional evaluation using occlusal force measurement and masticatory efficiency

International Journal of Implant Dentistry, 2021
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]

PLoS ONE, 2016
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 ...

Comparison of oral hypofunction tests and determination of reference values for a subjective masticatory function test

BMC Oral Health, 2022
Background In Japan, oral hypofunction has been recognized as a disease since 2018. An alternative to occlusal force testing for assessing oral hypofunction is the evaluation of the number of natural teeth.
