Occlusal force predicts global motion coherence threshold in adolescent boys

BMC Pediatrics, 2018
Background Beneficial effects of mastication on cognitive abilities in the elderly have been shown in human studies. However, little is currently known about the effect of masticatory stimulation on cognitive and perceptual ability in younger populations.

Functional evolution of the feeding system in rodents [PDF]

, 2012
The masticatory musculature of rodents has evolved to enable both gnawing at the incisors and chewing at the molars. In particular, the masseter muscle is highly specialised, having extended anteriorly to originate from the rostrum.

Osteoarthrosis: Analyze of the Molar Bite Force, Thickness and Masticatory Efficiency [PDF]

Prague Medical Report, 2020
Osteoarthrosis is a disorder of synovial joints, resulting from destruction of the cartilage and subchondral bone. The present study is aimed to investigate the molar bite force, thickness and efficiency of the masseter and temporalis muscles of subjects with osteoarthrosis. A total of forty-eight subjects participated in the study.
