Masticatory muscle force and facial morphology in man

Archives of Oral Biology, 1978
Abstract Facial morphology was studied in profile and postero-anterior radiographs of the skulls of 25 men with strong bite force and 25 with weak bite force (average age 24.8 years). The strong men differed from the weak in having an anterior inclination of the mandible with a smaller anterior and a greater posterior face height, a smaller gonial ...

Changes in masticatory performance and bite force after treatment with mandibular overdentures retained by four titanium-zirconium mini implants: One-year randomised clinical trial.

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE This prospective study is part of a randomised clinical trial and reports the changes in masticatory performance (MP) and bite force, and explores their influential factors, 1 year after the provision of mandibular overdentures retained by four

Masticatory Forces Accurately Identified

The Journal of the American Dental Association, 1970
A technic that simulates the actual eating experience has been developed to help patients with denture problems. The method enables the dentist to identify quickly and accurately points of soreness that the patient experiences. It is a low-cost technic, and it saves time for the patient and the dentist by eliminating the need for visits after the ...

Estimated masticatory forces in patients before orthognathic surgery

Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 1994
There has been relatively little study of masticatory forces in dentofacial deformity patients before orthognathic surgery. This study used a mathematical equation based on electromyographic activity (EMG) during mastication and forces obtained during isometric bites to estimate masticatory forces in 55 control subjects and 48 patients. Subjects chewed

Occlusal function and electromyographic activity of masticatory muscles in skeletal Class III patients with different patterns of mandibular asymmetry.

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, 2023
BACKGROUND Although jaw asymmetry is commonly seen in skeletal Class III patients, its correlation with occlusal function and masticatory muscle activity has not been fully elucidated.

Masticatory efficiency and bite force in individuals with normal occlusion

Archives of Oral Biology, 2014
The aim of the study was to evaluate and correlate masticatory efficiency (ME) and maximum bite force (MBF) in adult individuals of both genders with normal occlusion.The study was conducted in a university research centre. ME and MBF were evaluated in 55 adults (27 men and 28 women) with normal occlusion. All subjects chewed four fuchsin capsules (two

Comparison of biting force and masticatory efficiency in patient with different denture base material

Al-Azhar Journal of Dental Science, 2018
Background: The potential alternative materials to PMMA are the polycarbonates and the nylon denture base resins. Of this nylon is the generic name for certain types of thermoplastic polymers belonging to the class polyamides.

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.

Human Masticatory Muscle Forces during Static Biting

Journal of Dental Research, 2003
Muscle forces determine joint loads, but the objectives governing the mix of muscle forces involved are unknown. This study tested the hypothesis that masticatory muscle forces exerted during static biting are consistent with objectives of minimization of joint loads (MJL) or muscle effort (MME).
