Casimir-Polder force density between an atom and a conducting wall [PDF]

open access: yesPhys. Rev. A 75, 042113 (2007), 2006
In this paper we calculate the Casimir-Polder force density (force per unit area acting on the elements of the surface) on a metallic plate placed in front of a neutral atom. To obtain the force density we use the quantum operator associated to the electromagnetic stress tensor.

Relationship between chewing side preference and handedness and lateral asymmetry of peripheral factors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
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.

Zipping mechanism for force-generation by growing filament bundles [PDF]

open access: yesEPL 86, 68002 (2009), 2011
We investigate the force generation by polymerizing bundles of filaments, which form because of short-range attractive filament interactions. We show that bundles can generate forces by a zipping mechanism, which is not limited by buckling and operates in the fully buckled state. The critical zipping force, i.e.

Clinical report of six-month follow-up after cementing PEEK crown on molars

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
We conducted a six-month clinical follow-up on computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing-fabricated molar polyetheretherketone PEEK crowns to investigate their therapeutic effect.

Unravelling the functional biomechanics of dental features and tooth wear [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Most of the morphological features recognized in hominin teeth, particularly the topography of the occlusal surface, are generally interpreted as an evolutionary functional adaptation for mechanical food processing.

Does Masticatory Ability Contribute to Nutritional Status in Older Individuals? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Mastication plays a primary role in the process of eating. Hence, compromised masticatory ability may affect the nutrition and quality of life, which are particularly important concerns among older individuals.

Is “Bite force” a reliable parameter to compare masticatory efficiency restoration following ORIF of anterior mandibular fractures?

open access: yesJournal of Oral Biology and Craniofacial Research, 2022
Objectives: Mandible is an integral part of masticatory system, and it is expected that it’s fracture will have a significant impact on occlusal forces, range of motion, muscle activity levels, and occlusion.

The Effects of Chewing Exercises on Masticatory Function after Surgical Orthodontic Treatment

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2021
Recovery of oral function is one of the most important objectives of orthognathic surgery. This study investigated the effects of a chewing exercise on chewing patterns and other oral functions after sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO).

The Foundation for Developing an Exoskeleton for the Rehabilitation of Temporomandibular Disorders [PDF]

open access: yes2025 IEEE International Conference on Simulation, Modeling, and Programming for Autonomous Robots (SIMPAR), Palermo, Italy, 2025, https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10979121
Temporomandibular disorders affect a significant portion of the population, often causing pain and restricted jaw movement. Physiotherapy with active jaw exoskeletons seems to be a promising treatment approach. However, there has been limited progress in this area, with only a few studies published.

Studies on the Analysis of Infantile Occlusion : 2nd Report: Application of T-scan [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
In the present study, relationships among measuring items of T-scan system, masticatory force value and masticatory surface were analyzed (according to the Black Silicon Method). The following results were obtained: 1.
