Craniomandibular disorders and masticatory muscle function
European Journal of Oral Sciences, 1992The heading craniomandibular disorder covers a wide range of abnormal and pathologic conditions accompanied by orofacial pain and impaired mandibular function, the masticatory muscles and the temporomandibular joints being the structures most frequently involved.

A review of masticatory muscle function
The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1987Current reports of the actions of the major muscles of mastication are reviewed for clenching tasks in centric occlusion and eccentric jaw positions, mandibular opening, and unilateral chewing. The relationship of the mandible to the maxillae in the intercuspal position and, consequently, the relationship of the condyle to the fossa of the ...

Analysis of Functional Disturbances of the Masticatory System
Journal of Craniomandibular Practice, 1984AbstractThis study analyzed some clinical recordings and diagnoses from the case records of 350 patients referred for functional disturbances of the masticatory system along with data from a questionnaire the patients had answered at their first visit. The dental status varied greatly among the patients.

A Computerized System to Study Masticatory Function
Journal of Craniomandibular Practice, 1984AbstractThis article describes a system that allows for simultaneous analysis of subjects' mandibular movements and electromyographic activity during chewing. The authors examined clockwise and counterclockwise movements separately, using the following parameters for the opening and closing strokes at 20 different degrees of jaw separation: 1.

Masticatory function and oral stereognosis in bruxers
CRANIO®, 2018Objective: To compare the mastication and oral sensory function of individuals with and without sleep bruxism. Methods: The sample comprised 60 volunteers, of which 30 were bruxers (mean age = 30.5 ± 6.0) and 30 non-bruxers (mean age = 28.6 ± 3.3). Sleep bruxism was clinically diagnosed and confirmed using the Bruxoff® device. Mastication was evaluated

Parkinson’s disease impairs masticatory function
Clinical Oral Investigations, 2016To evaluate masticatory function in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) during levodopa "on" period using new removable dental prosthesis.A total of 34 elderly individuals with PD (n = 17, mean age = 69.41 ± 4.65 years) or without PD (n = 17, mean age = 70.71 ± 4.65 years) were recruited for this study. Participants received new complete dentures

Masticatory form and function in the african apes
American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 2002AbstractThis study examines variability in masticatory morphology as a function of dietary preference among the African apes. The African apes differ in the degree to which they consume leaves and other fibrous vegetation.Gorilla gorilla beringei, the eastern mountain gorilla, consumes the most restricted diet comprised of mechanically resistant foods ...

The regulation of masticatory function and food bolus formation
Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, 2006summary This review emphasizes the following points: 1 The values of the physiological parameters of mastication (number of cycles and total electromyographic activity in the sequence, sequence duration, cycle frequency in the sequence, kinetic characteristics of the cycles) are characteristic of each individual and vary widely from one individual to ...

Normal masticatory function of girls and young women: mandibular masticatory movements
American Journal of Human Biology, 1998Mandibular masticatory movements were evaluated in 10 young adult women and 12 young girls. All subjects had normal occlusion with minimal overjet. Masticatory movements of the incisors were recorded in three dimensions with an Optotrak® camera system while subjects chewed gum in a habitual manner for 20 seconds.

Masticatory Function and Bite Force in Stroke Patients
Journal of Dental Research, 2010Orofacial functions are frequently affected by stroke, but little is known on the nature and extent of the impairment of mastication, which is investigated in this observational study. Thirty-one stroke patients, aged 69.0 ± 12.7 yrs, presenting with a hemi-syndrome with facial palsy, were recruited.
