Association between masticatory performance and maximal occlusal force in young men

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, 2003
summary  The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between masticatory performance and maximal occlusal force in dentate subjects, using test foods of varying hardness. Subjects were 20 young males with natural dentitions. Gummy jellies with two different degrees of hardness have been used as test foods to evaluate masticatory ...

Symmetric force response of human masticatory muscles to stretch and unloading

Experimental Brain Research, 1997
During chewing, the force exerted by the jaw-closing muscles must constantly adapt to changing resistances between the teeth, as the food is broken down. In the present study, the changes in biting force resulting from small, controlled displacements imposed on isometrically contracting jaw-closing muscles were measured. We found that the force changes

Bite force in patients with functional disturbances of the masticatory system

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, 1975
SummaryIn thirty patients (24 women and 6 men) treated because of dysfunction of the masticatory system at the department of Stomatognathic Physiology, University of Gothenburg, bite force was registered before, during and after treatment had been completed.

Regression analysis of electromyographic activity of masticatory muscles versus bite force

European Journal of Oral Sciences, 1985
Abstract –Electromyographic (EMG) activity of the superficial masseter and the anterior temporal muscles versus the bite force was studied in 10 young women. They were fully dentate and had no dysfunction of the stomatognathic system. The descending part of the trapezius muscle was also chosen for EMG registration.

[Masticatory force--mastication pressure--loading capacity].

Deutsche zahnarztliche Zeitschrift, 1977
The loading capacity of teeth is determined by various factors. Apart from size and quality of the surfaces to which force is transmitted, the shape of the root and how far it is inserted are especially important. It was found that primarily teeth with cylindrical roots can accept greater masticatory forces than teeth with tapered roots and react to a ...

Effects of repeated + Gz forces on masticatory muscles.

Zhonghua kou qiang yi xue za zhi = Zhonghua kouqiang yixue zazhi = Chinese journal of stomatology, 2003
To study the effects of repeated + Gz forces on masticatory muscles.48 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups. Group A was normally fed. Group B was only fixed with rat-kept devices for 5 minutes. Group C was borne + 1 Gz for 5 minutes. Group D was repeatedly exposed + 10 Gz (each for 30 s, onset rate about 0.5 G/s, 5 times/d with + 1 Gz ...
