Incisor cross‐sectional area at the cementoenamel junction correlates with an increased reliance on frugivory in anthropoid primates

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Diet is one of a limited set of key ecological parameters defining primate species. A detailed understanding of dental functional correlates with primate diet is a key component for accurate dietary inference in fossil primates. Although considerable effort has been devoted to understanding post‐canine dental function, incisor function remains

Method of Retention Control for Compromised Periodontal Bone Support Abutment of Conical Crown Retained Denture

Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, 2010
Conical crown-retained dentures (CCRD) show a higher survival rate and greater patient satisfaction than transitional removable partial dentures during long-term follow-up.

H-FCBFormer Hierarchical Fully Convolutional Branch Transformer for Occlusal Contact Segmentation with Articulating Paper [PDF]

Occlusal contacts are the locations at which the occluding surfaces of the maxilla and the mandible posterior teeth meet. Occlusal contact detection is a vital tool for restoring the loss of masticatory function and is a mandatory assessment in the field of dentistry, with particular importance in prosthodontics and restorative dentistry.

Is cranial anatomy indicative of fossoriality? A case study of the mammaliaform Hadrocodium wui

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Determining the ecology of fossil species presents considerable challenges due to the often fragmentary preservation of specimens. The mammaliaform Hadrocodium wui from the Jurassic of China is known only from the cranium and mandible but may have had a fossorial lifestyle.

Research progress on masticatory function assessment tools and influencing factors in patients after mandibular reconstruction

Shanghai Jiaotong Daxue xuebao. Yixue ban
Mandibular reconstruction refers to the restoration of the continuity of the mandible through techniques such as autologous bone grafting, thereby restoring the patient's basic appearance, reconstructing the occlusal relationship, and restoring functions

Variability of jaw muscles in Tunisian street dogs and adaptation to skull shape

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The impact of artificial selection on the masticatory apparatus of dogs has been poorly studied, and comparative data with dogs subjected to more natural constraints are lacking. This study explores the jaw musculature of Tunisian street dogs, which are largely free from the influence of breed‐specific selection.

Early life functional transitions impact craniofacial morphology in osteogenesis imperfecta

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Early life behaviors have a profound role in shaping adult craniofacial morphology. During early life, all mammals undergo the dynamic transition from suckling to mastication, a period coinciding with rapid cranial biomineralization. Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), a genetic disorder that impacts the production of type I collagen, disrupts ...

Upper semismooth functions and the subdifferential determination property [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
In this paper, an upper semismooth function is defined to be a lower semicontinuous function whose radial subderivative satisfies a mild directional upper semicontinuity property. Examples of upper semismooth functions are the proper lower semicontinuous convex functions, the lower-C$^1$ functions, the regular directionally Lipschitz functions, the ...

Association of autonomic function with temporomandibular disorders [PDF]

, 2022
. Masticatory muscles and temporomandibular joints (TMJs) are essential components of the masticatory system and temporomandibular disorders (TMD) is the term used for painful conditions and disturbances of the masticatory system and its related ...
