Osteoarthrosis: Analyze of the Molar Bite Force, Thickness and Masticatory Efficiency.
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

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.

Masticatory performance and bite force in children with primary dentition [PDF]
Brazilian Oral Research, 2007 The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between masticatory performance and maximum bite force in the primary dentition. The sample comprised 15 children of both genders, aged 3 to 5.5 years, with good systemic and oral health, presence of all primary teeth without large caries, no structural anomalies, without severe malocclusion, and ...
