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

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

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.

[Masticatory muscles. Part I. Functional anatomy of the masticatory muscles].
Nederlands tijdschrift voor tandheelkunde, 2002The anatomical design of the jaw-closing and jaw-opening muscles is of importance for their capability to produce forces and displacements. The length of the sarcomeres is a major determinant for both force and shortening range. The maximal work, force and shortening range each muscle is capable of producing, are proportional to the architectural ...
