Multi‐method analysis for the three‐dimensional reconstruction of muscle fascicles from DiceCT datasets

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Muscle architecture is a major determinant of muscle performance and, in mammalian lineages, has been correlated with both feeding ecology and locomotor behaviors. Over the past decade, contrast‐enhanced micro‐CT (DiceCT) has emerged as an alternative to traditional dissection‐based measurement.

Quantitative Comparison of Age‐Related Development of Oral Functions During Growing Age

Clinical and Experimental Dental Research
Objectives This cross‐sectional study aimed to investigate the age‐related development of five major oral functions—tongue pressure, lip pressure, masticatory efficiency, bite force, and occlusal contact area—in subjects aged 5–20 years.

Alteration of Mastication Force via Intraoral Closed-Loop Electrical Stimulation

IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering
Mastication plays an important role in effective food digestion and nutrient absorption. Therefore, regulating masticatory force in people with declining mastication function is significant for maintaining health and quality of life.

Selection of dental implants based on masticatory load of the patient: A novel approach

Indian Journal of Dental Research, 2017
Purpose: Masticatory load and efficiency vary from one individual to other. Maximum load of one person may be the least load of another. Hence, optimization of dental implants based on the load dissipation of an individual is essential for a better ...

The jaw is a second-class lever in Pedetes capensis (Rodentia: Pedetidae) [PDF]

PeerJ, 2017
The mammalian jaw is often modelled as a third-class lever for the purposes of biomechanical analyses, owing to the position of the resultant muscle force between the jaw joint and the teeth.

3D bioprinting in oral and craniomaxillofacial tissue regeneration: Progress, challenges, and future directions

BMEMat, EarlyView.
This paper summarized the application of 3D bioprinting in the regeneration of various tissues in the oral and craniomaxillofacial fields, including the required biomaterials and printing techniques. Abstract Oral and craniomaxillofacial tissues are essential for maintaining oral functions, including respiration, mastication, swallowing, and speech ...

Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

Prevalence and Mechanisms of Sustained Force Production in the Musculature of the Southern Alligator Lizard (Elgaria multicarinata)

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The southern alligator lizard (Elgaria multicarinata) exhibits prolonged mate‐holding behavior. This behavior maybe be underpinned by a phenomenon known as sustained force, observed in the jaw muscles of this species, in which the muscle fails to relax between subsequent contractions.
