Botulinum Toxin and Percutaneous Needle Electrolysis for the Treatment of Chronic Masticatory Myalgia

open access: yesToxins, 2023
Botulinum toxin type A (BTA) is applied in muscle hyperactivity disorders and injected into affected muscles, producing deep and persistent muscle relaxation.

Effect of Porphyromonas gingivalis Infection on Healing of Skeletal Muscle Injury: An In Vivo Study

open access: yesDentistry Journal
Background/Objectives:Porphyromonas gingivalis infection has been associated with various systemic diseases and may cause delayed healing of muscle injury. However, the relationship between muscle injury healing and P.

Masticatory muscles in occlusion

open access: yes口腔疾病防治, 2017
In clinical practice, the masticatory muscles problems are often encountered occlusion. Masticatory muscles, as a component of the masticatory system, play an important role in occlusion.

Functional continuum regression [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Multivariate Analysis 173: 328-346 (2019), 2019
Functional principal component regression (PCR) can fail to provide good prediction if the response is highly correlated with some excluded functional principal component(s). This situation is common since the construction of functional principal components never involves the response.

Bending performance changes during prolonged canine eruption in saber‐toothed carnivores: A case study of Smilodon fatalis

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The canine of saber‐toothed predators represents one of the most specialized dental structures known. Hypotheses about the function of hypertrophied canines range from display and conspecific interaction, soft food processing, to active prey acquisition.

Limited marginal bone loss in implant‐supported fixed full‐arch rehabilitations after 5 years of follow‐up

open access: yesClinical Oral Implants Research, Volume 33, Issue 12, Page 1224-1232, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Purpose The aim of the present study was to evaluate the 5‐year results in terms of marginal bone level (MBL) around implants supporting fixed full‐arch metal‐ceramic restorations in a series of cases of patients who had lost their teeth in that dental arch because of severe periodontal disease.

Comparing cranial biomechanics between Barbourofelis fricki and Smilodon fatalis: Is there a universal killing‐bite among saber‐toothed predators?

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Saber‐tooths, extinct apex predators with long and blade‐like upper canines, have appeared iteratively at least five times in the evolutionary history of vertebrates. Although saber‐tooths exhibit a relatively diverse range of morphologies, it is widely accepted that all killed their prey using the same predatory behavior. In this study, we CT‐

Growing sabers: Mandibular shape and biomechanical performance trajectories during the ontogeny of Smilodon fatalis

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The evolution of organisms can be studied through the lens of developmental systems, as the timing of development of morphological features is an important aspect to consider when studying a phenotype. Such data can be challenging to obtain in fossil amniotes owing to the scarcity of their fossil record. However, the numerous remains of Rancho

Myological and osteological approaches to gape and bite force reconstruction in Smilodon fatalis

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Masticatory gape and bite force are important behavioral and ecological variables. While much has been written about the highly derived masticatory anatomy of Smilodon fatalis, there remains a great deal of debate about their masticatory behaviors.
