Masticatory Function in a Patient with Mandibular Midline Cleft
The Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal, 1993Bone grafting of a midline cleft is required to allow reasonable masticatory function. However, changes in the rhythm of mastication have not been investigated before and after such bone grafting procedures. We performed bone grafting in a patient with multiple cranlofacial anomalies including a midline mandibular cleft.

Masticatory function and skull growth
Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London, 1965A diminution in function of the masticatory muscles of the rat was produced by feeding upon an abnormally soft diet. As compared with a control group fed on a hard diet, this resulted in a 12% decrease in the mass of the cranium and mandible together with a reduction of some 1 to 2% in the overall dimensions of the cranial and facial skeleton.

Perceived masticatory function among elderly people
Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, 1997summary This Study investigated the status and associations of perceived chewing ability of a group of 891 elderly people, aged 55‐91 years (average age 66 years). The majority of subjects (69%) considered that they could chew well. Only 9% reported poor chewing ability. This judgement was not associated with age.

Dynamic Viscoelasticity of Soft Liners and Masticatory Function
Journal of Dental Research, 2002Soft denture liners are used for edentulous patients to cushion functional forces. We hypothesized that the application of soft liners having viscoelastic properties would lead to the most marked improvement in masticatory function. The shear storage modulus ( G′), shear loss modulus ( G′′), and loss tangent (tan δ) were determined for 6 materials by ...

Myasthenia gravis associated with reduced masticatory function
International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2000This paper describes a case of myasthenia gravis in a 38-year-old woman who first consulted a dentist and then an oral surgeon because of chewing difficulty. Although myasthenia gravis commonly presents with diplopia, ptosis, or both as initial symptoms, chewing difficulty is rare. The patient was given steroid therapy and underwent thymectomy. Changes

Structure and Function of Masticatory (Superfast) Myosin
Journal of Oral Biosciences, 2007Abstract Masticatory (superfast) myosin is specifically expressed in jaw-closing muscles and is found in carnivorous lower vertebrates and several orders of mammals. In humans, this myosin is not expressed in those whose masticatory myosin heavy chain gene is defective due to a frame-shift deletion.

OCCLUSION AND FUNCTIONAL DISORDERS OF THE MASTICATORY SYSTEM
Dental Clinics of North America, 1995Understanding the relationship between occlusion and functional disorders of the masticatory system is no easy task. This article explores the static, functional, and dynamic relationships of the occlusal condition to the signs and symptoms of masticatory dysfunction. Some possible relationships are discussed.

Decreased masticatory function in denture patients
The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1964Abstract A group of denture subjects were studied for their ability to chew a test food at 10, 20, 40, 60, and 80 strokes. Comparison of findings with those of subjects with natural teeth indicates that most denture patients are even more handicapped than had previously been supposed.

Masticatory Function and Malocclusion: A Clinical Perspective
Seminars in Orthodontics, 2006Until fairly recent times, human populations were characterized by worn, well-aligned dentitions. Epidemiological data show that the decrease in dental wear and the increase in malocclusion took place simultaneously with the adoption of a modern lifestyle.
