Measurements of masticatory forces in the horse
There is a need for specific data on equine mastication in several fields: (1) In nutritional science, the disruption of the forage is crucial to sufficient energy uptake in the horse (Frape 1990). (2) In mandibular/oral surgery, knowledge about the motions of the jaws and about chewing forces is necessary for the development of techniques and ...

Relationship between chewing side preference and handedness and lateral asymmetry of peripheral factors [PDF]
Objective: To determine whether chewing side preference is related to handedness and lateral asymmetry of occlusal characteristics, muscular force and temporomandibular disorders (TMD) in a dentate population.

Occlusal force predicts global motion coherence threshold in adolescent boys
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.
