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.

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.

The importance of elevated masticatory forces on the stability of maxillary expansion [PDF]
Journal of Dentofacial Anomalies and Orthodontics, 2015 What have our young patients eaten in the past 24 hours? Probably cooked, prepared, or even finely chopped foods, that require limited masticatory action compared to what our craniofacial muscles are used to.The impact of masticatory hypofunctioning on craniofacial muscle development has been discussed in paleoanthropology studies and experimental ...

Stress distribution in the cervical region of an upper central incisor in a 3D finite element model
Brazilian Oral Research, 2009 The aim of this study was to evaluate the stress distribution in the cervical region of a sound upper central incisor in two clinical situations, standard and maximum masticatory forces, by means of a 3D model with the highest possible level of fidelity ...
