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.

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.

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.

Comparative and functional anatomy of masticatory muscles and bite force in opossums (Didelphimorphia, Didelphidae)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
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 ...

Factors associated with age-related changes in oral diadochokinesis and masticatory function in healthy old adults

BMC Oral Health
Background This cross–sectional study aimed to identify factors associated with age-related changes in masticatory performance (MP) and oral diadochokinesis (ODK) and to provide normal values in healthy old adults for the diagnosis of oral frailty ...

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 ...

The Effect of a Masticatory Muscle Training Program on Chewing Efficiency and Bite Force in People with Dementia

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 ...
