Masticatory Function and Bite Force in Stroke Patients

Journal of Dental Research, 2010
Orofacial functions are frequently affected by stroke, but little is known on the nature and extent of the impairment of mastication, which is investigated in this observational study. Thirty-one stroke patients, aged 69.0 ± 12.7 yrs, presenting with a hemi-syndrome with facial palsy, were recruited.

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 ...

Stressed out: Masticatory forces and primate circumorbital form

The Anatomical Record, 2000
Editor’s note: This pair of articles— Anat Rec (New Anat) 261:173–175 (Ravosa et al.) and 170–172 (Prossinger et al.), 2000—were originally submitted as a Letter to the Editor commenting on the article by Bookstein et al. [Anat Rec (New Anat) 257:217-224, 1999] and a Response by the Bookstein et al. (1999) authors.

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

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).

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.

Biomechanical evaluation of the equine masticatory action: Calculation of the masticatory forces occurring on the cheek tooth battery

Journal of Biomechanics, 2009
The forces generated during equine mastication influence the teeth, as well as the periodontium, the jaw bones, the temporomandibular joints and materials used in dental therapy. Due to the limited accessibility of the cheek teeth located farther caudal in the equine oral cavity the measurement of the masticatory forces on these teeth is virtually ...
