Casimir-Polder force density between an atom and a conducting wall [PDF]
Phys. 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]
, 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]
EPL 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.

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

The Effects of Chewing Exercises on Masticatory Function after Surgical Orthodontic Treatment
Applied 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]
2025 IEEE International Conference on Simulation, Modeling, and
Programming for Autonomous Robots (SIMPAR), Palermo, Italy, 2025,
https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10979121Temporomandibular 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.
